What is an Energy Audit ?
Energy audit is the first step toward

systematic efforts for conservation of energy.
It involves collection and analysis of energy
related data on regular basis and in a
methodological manner.
Objectives of Energy Audit
The Energy Audit provides the vital information base for
overall energy conservation program covering
essentially energy utilization analysis and evaluation of
energy conservation measures.
It aims at :-
 Identifying the quality and cost of various energy inputs.
 Assessing present pattern of energy consumption in
different cost centers of operations.
 Relating energy inputs and production output.
 Identifying potential areas of thermal and electrical
energy economy.
 Highlighting wastage’s in major areas.
 Fixing of energy saving potential targets for individual
cost centers.
 Implementation of measures for energy conservation &
realization of savings.
The Role of an Energy Audit
An energy audit identifies which areas in your

establishment unnecessarily consume too much
energy, where energy is being consumed and assesses
energy saving opportunities, which is the most cost-
effective to improve, so you get to save money where it
counts the most.
In the factory, doing an energy audit increases
awareness of energy issues among plant personnel. An
energy audit in effect gauges the energy efficiency of
your plant against “best practices”. When used as a
“baseline” for tracking yearly progress against targets,
an energy audit becomes the best first step towards
saving money in the production plant.
Stages of Energy Audit
Energy audit stages
Energy audit can be categorized into two types,

namely walk-through or preliminary and detail audit.
Walk-through or preliminary audit

Walk-through or preliminary audit comprises one
day or few days visit to a plant and the output is a
simple report based on observation and historical
data provided during the visit. The findings will be a
general comment based on rule-of-thumbs, energy
best practices or the manufacturer's data.
Preliminary energy audit
• Establish energy consumption in the organization

• Estimate the scope for saving
• Identify the most likely (and the easiest areas for
attention
• Identify immediate (especially no-/low-cost)
improvements/ savings
• Set a 'reference point‘
• Identify areas for more detailed study/measurement
• Preliminary energy audit uses existing, or easily
obtained data.
Detailed Energy Audit
The detailed audit goes beyond quantitative

estimates of costs and savings. It includes
engineering recommendations and well-defined
project, giving due priorities. Approximately 95% of
all energy is accounted for during the detailed audit.
The detailed energy audit is conducted after the
preliminary energy audit. Sophisticated
instrumentation including flow meter, flue gas
analyzer, scanners and other advanced instruments
are used to compute energy efficiency.
Inputs and Outputs of Energy audit
Contents of an Audit
An energy audit assesses the effectiveness of

management structure for controlling energy use
and implementing changes. The energy audit report
establishes the needs for plant metering and
monitoring, enabling the plant manager to
institutionalize the practice and hence, save money
for the years to come. The energy audit action plan
lists the steps and sets the preliminary budget for
the energy management program.
Steps for Energy Management and Energy audit….
• Analysis of energy use

• Identification of energy projects
• Cost benefit analysis
• Action plan to set implementation priority
1. Analysis of energy use
Identifying where energy is used is useful because it

identifies which areas the audit should focus on and
raises awareness of energy use and cost.
Analysis of energy use in the review of management

structures and procedures for controlling energy use.
This is a good source data for allocating energy use.
The plant manager can also list all equipment used
and the corresponding operating hours. With this
information, one can create spreadsheet information
and generate charts useful for analysis.
1. Analysis of energy use
Important points to be considered when collecting Site Load Data:
• Operating hours - This can be gathered from plant personnel. It is
important to ensure the accuracy of this data because much of the
potential for energy savings lies on correct estimation of the
equipment’s operating hours.
• Duty cycle - Machines such as large electric motors have varying
loads and hence, different power requirements.
• Actual power consumed - For electric power users, this is based on
either 3-phase current/voltage readings or power analyzer
measurements (e.g., direct kW which incorporates power factor).
For fuel users, tank readings of monthly consumption estimates
and flow meters with totalization can be sources of measurement of
air, water, steam, oil etc..
2. Identification of energy projects
• Opportunities for energy savings can range from the

simplest, such as lighting retrofits, to the most
complex such as the installation of a cogeneration
plant. The important thing to remember is to focus
on major energy users and areas. Always apply the
80/20 rule, focus on opportunities that provide 80%
of the saving but require 20% input. After the
preliminary identification of opportunities, spend
more time on those which have shorter payback
periods.
3. Cost benefit analysis
• The identified energy conservation opportunities
should be analyzed in terms of the costs of
implementing the project versus the benefits that
can be gained. If you want to, say, install a heat plate
exchanger to recover waste heat, you need to
calculate the total cost of installation and compare
that with the savings you will derive from recovering
waste heat. It makes sense to go on with the project
if there is a net positive benefit from the project.
4. Action plan to set implementation priority
• After passing the cost benefit test, an action plan

should be developed to ensure that the
opportunities identified are implemented. The action
plan should include all the major steps for
implementing the opportunity as well as the people
responsible.
Conclusions
• Presently, the average annual energy

consumption is 24 lakh units.
• The possible saving by implementing the
proposed measures are 5.98 lakh units of
electricity & 5,040 kg of LPG used in
canteen which comes to about 25 %
reduction of annual energy bill, at a capital
investment of Rs. 163.15 Lakhs.
