​​What is an Energy Audit?

An Energy Audit is a comprehensive examination of the energy flows within a facility or process. It involves collecting and analyzing data on power consumption, equipment efficiency, and operational practices to determine where energy is being wasted and how it can be saved.
It includes:

• Assessment of electrical, thermal, and mechanical energy systems

• Evaluation of process and utility equipment such as chillers, boilers, compressors, pumps, and lighting

• Identification of energy conservation opportunities (ENCON measures)

• Development of an Energy Conservation Action Plan (ECAP) with cost-benefit and payback analysis

 

In simple terms, an energy audit helps an organization understand how energy is used, where it is lost, and how it can be optimized.

 

Why is it Important to Conduct an Energy Audit?

Energy costs form a significant portion of operational expenses in most organizations. Conducting an energy audit helps:

• Reduce Energy Costs: Identify and eliminate wastage to lower power bills.

• Enhance System Efficiency: Improve equipment and process performance through optimization.

• Support Compliance: Fulfill regulatory requirements under the Energy Conservation Act and BEE norms.

• Promote Sustainability: Reduce greenhouse gas emissions and environmental impact.

• Enable Data-Driven Decisions: Provide insights for informed capital investment in energy-efficient technologies.

An energy audit is not just a compliance activity—it is a strategic management tool for long-term operational excellence.

 

Benefits of Energy Audit
