As per the Energy Conservation Act, 2001, Energy Audit is defined as “the verification, monitoring and analysis of use of energy including submission of technical report containing recommendations for improving energy efficiency with cost benefit analysis and an action plan to reduce energy consumption”. Implementation of recommended measures can help consumers to achieve significant reduction in their energy consumption levels. Energy audit involves a systematic study undertaken on major energy consuming sections and equipments including construction of heat and mass balance with a view to identify the flow of energy, utilization efficiency of energy in each of the steps and pin point wasteful energy used. A well conducted energy audit would reveal the areas of wastage of energy and it would be possible to suggest saving of energy.

The Energy Conservation Act requires the energy audit report to contain recommendations for improving energy efficiency with cost benefit analysis and an action plan to reduce energy consumption [Clause 14(i)]. The conduction of energy audit and implementation of its recommendations on cost benefit basis through accredited energy auditors are expected to help the designated energy consumers to achieve significant reduction in their energy consumption levels.

Role of Energy Auditor:

• 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
• Analysis of technical and financial feasibility of energy saving measures
• Recommend energy efficient technologies and alternate energy sources
  Report writing, presentation and follow up for implementation

Preliminary Energy Audit | Relatively Quick Exercise:
