Energy Audits
An Energy audit involves a systematic study
undertaken on energy consuming sections and equipments. This includes
construction of heat and mass balance with a view to identifying the
flow of energy in each of the steps to pin-point wastage of energy. The
energy audit would reveal specific areas of wastage and it would lead to
suggestions for possible energy savings in all areas.
Areas of inspection
Air
Tightness - Inspection of all windows, doors, loft area, chimneys,
ventilation ducts, floors and block work.
Heating – Inspection of Boiler, Pipe work, Radiators and all
other associated appliances.
Lighting – Inspection of all light bulbs and use of all natural,
task and accent lighting.
Electricity – Check all appliance types for efficiency.
The energy
audit report would contain recommendations for improving energy
efficiency with cost benefit analysis and an action plan to reduce
energy consumption. The conduct of energy audit and implementation of
its recommendations on cost-benefit basis is designed to help the
designated consumer to achieve significant reduction in their energy
consumption levels.
• Carry out a detailed energy audit
• Quantify energy consumption and establish base line energy information
• Construct energy and material balance
• Perform efficiency evaluation of energy & utility systems
• Compare energy norms with existing energy consumption levels
• Identify and prioritization of energy saving measures
• Analyse technical and financial feasibility of energy saving measures
• Recommend energy efficient technologies and alternate energy sources
• Report and follow up for implementation
