ENERGY AUDIT
Energy Efficiency
 Energy efficiency is “using less energy to provide the same service”
 Energy efficiency is not energy conservation
 Turning off a light is energy conservation, not energy efficiency

Energy Audit
A process of analyzing and evaluating the energy consumptions and
costs of an organization to identify energy efficiency measure
(Recommend Energy Management Opportunities EMOs).
ENERGY AUDIT ACTIVITIES
Activities to determine:
1. How and where energy enters the facility, department, system or
piece of equipment

2. Where it goes and how it is used;

3. Any variances between inputs and uses;

4. How it can be used more effectively or efficiently


ENERGY AUDIT LEVELS

LEVEL 1; Walk-Through Audit:


A tour through the facility to visually inspect each of the energy using
systems

LEVEL 2. DETAILED AUDIT (STANDARD AUDIT):


Quantify energy uses and losses through a detailed review and analysis
of equipment, systems, and operational characteristics.

COMPUTER SIMULATION:
A more details of energy use by function and a more comprehensive
evaluation of energy use patterns by using simulation software
ENERGY AUDIT PROCESSES
STEP 1 Historical Data Analysis (Pre-site inspection)

STEP 2: Walk-Through Audit (Preliminary Audit)

STEP 3; Planning for Detailed Audit :

STEP 4; Detailed Audit

STEP 5; Evaluation and Report


STEP 1 Historical Data Analysis (Pre-site inspection)
• Historical energy and water consumption and billings data for at
least 12 months, preferably multi-year;

• Basic information of the organization, including at least layout, main


processes, products and production lines data;

• Operations schedule, equipment inventories, and production data;


• Mechanical, electrical, architectural plans and specifications

• Available data (if any): energy consumptions measurements,


consumption /demand profiles,
STEP 2: Walk-Through Audit (Preliminary Audit)

Nature and Purposes


 High level assessment (Holistic assessment)
 Assesses merits of doing detailed audit
 Identifies areas of focus for detailed audit
 Verify the preliminary data analysis

1.The walk-through (audit tour)


Observe: Where/how energy is being consumed/wasted;
Determine: Where corrective actions are needed;
Conclude: Where capital investment may be needed to improve energy efficiency
.
Step 2: Walk-Through Audit (Preliminary Audit)

2) Analyze energy consumption and costs


A, Assess the energy cost and bills

B, Classify energy consumption (fuel, gas or electricity) and relate to process.

C, Assess the trends of consumptions

D, Correlate to independent variables (e.g. production lines shifts or schedule)

E, Correlate consumption with appropriate index measures like production unit

F, Determine unit energy cost and trends


Step 2: Walk-Through Audit (Preliminary Audit

3) Comparative analysis
 Two kinds of comparison:
1. Internal benchmarks
 multiple facilities
 Historical consumption
 Trends and patterns

2. External benchmarks
 standards of performance established in the industry sector.
Step 2: Walk-Through Audit (Preliminary Audit
4) Preliminary audit findings
 Energy performance indices

 Energy patterns and trends.

 Potential EMOs (energy management opportunities)


STEP 3: PLANNING FOR DETAILED AUDIT
Define the audit mandate:
• Clarification of the goals and objectives of the audit, and key
constraints that will apply to actions on its recommendations
Define the audit scope
• The physical extent of the audit

• The energy inputs and outputs

• The sub-systems to be assessed


STEP 3: PLANNING FOR DETAILED AUDIT

The audit plan should at least spell out the following:


• Audit objectives, scope and applicable criteria (if any);

• Dates and places where the audit is to be conducted;

• Identification of audit team members;

• Detailed schedule of audited function and responsibilities;

• The energy audit elements with high priority;


STEP 3: PLANNING FOR DETAILED AUDIT
Prepare checklists and working documents :
The purpose of a checklist is to stimulate thinking, guide the auditor
and encourages these energy audit steps:
• list the existing measuring, metering and monitoring equipment;

• examine the suitability of the existing equipment;

• examine the function, management and energy performance of


systems and processes;

• establish what additional information is needed and the steps to be


taken;
STEP 4: DETAILED AUDIT

STEPS
A, Conduct opening meeting
B, Audit facility as per plan
C, Collect information
D, Carry out the diagnostic audit(s), if needed
E, Analyze information
F, Evaluate audit findings
G, Identify main EMOs
H, Review EMOs with auditee’s representative
I, Conduct closing meeting
STEP 4: DETAILED AUDIT

OPENING MEETING
Review the purposes, scope and plan of the audit – change as needed
• Describe audit methodologies
• Define communication links
• Confirm availability of resources and facilities
• Confirm schedule of meetings with management group
• Inform about site health, safety and emergency procedures
• Answer questions - create comfort level with the audit
purposes and outcome
STEP 4: DETAILED AUDIT
Audit activities and collecting of information
The audit team disperses with their guides to conduct the audit
activities according to the plan.
The energy audit may include different techniques to gather audit
objective evidence:
a, interviews,
b, Observing activities and reviewing records
c, auditors’ own measuring and recording activities

An audit should be carried out during normal operation conditions,


except for tasks like compressed air lines leaks
STEP 4: DETAILED AUDIT

ENERGY USE DRIVERS


1, Climate
2, Facility size & Age
3, Schedules
4, Equipment type
5, Building design
6, Processes and operational procedures
7, Organizational culture
8, Behavior
STEP 4: DETAILED AUDIT
Carry out diagnostic audit(s), when needed
to verify the data collected from plant records and to gather
additional information through detailed observations and
discussions with plant personnel.

• may also include requests for demonstrations and taking


additional measurements and recordings
STEP 4: DETAILED AUDIT
Analyze the information; Evaluate audit findings; and Identify main EMOs
all information gathered during the audit is reviewed,
• tentative findings and observations are formulated.
• The team, under the lead auditor’s guidance, obtains
consensus on the draft of main audit conclusions,
recommendations and EMOs.
• If possible, a rough quantification of anticipated energy
savings should accompany this stage
Step 5: Evaluation and Reporting
More accurate estimates/calculations have to be done after the site visit,
including:
• Energy intensity ratios (i.e. energy used per unit of output)
• savings to be expected from an energy project.

• Priorities of EMOs projects.

• A cost-benefit analysis based on future energy costs


• calculate the project’s payback

• Benchmarks and Best Practices comparisons are very useful


tools for evaluations.
Step 5: Evaluation and Reporting
REPORT
 Provide a clear account of the facts upon which EMOs
recommendations are made.

 Interest those who read the report in acting upon those


recommendations
