An Energy Audit is conducted by a qualified energy professional who is able to analyze energy usage at your business. An Energy Audit can be conducted at Level 1, 2 or 3.
For example, a Level 2 audit comprises of:
An analysis of the historical energy consumption – using a minimum of 24 months of data.
A tariff analysis to ensure that the business is on the tariff which matches their energy usage.
An on-site inspection of the business to obtain a checklist of equipment and appliances.
A staff survey to ascertain the usage pattern of the equipment and appliances, and obtain an understanding of the work processes.
An audit report with recommendations on actions which can be taken to reduce energy use, and/or change their tariff.
Why do businesses need an Energy Audit?
No two businesses are the same. The energy issues at one engineering firm would be different to the next. An energy audit is the FIRST STEP toward carbon reduction, through better energy efficiency. It serves to identify the major areas of energy use at your business so that actions can be targeted. This way, your business gets the most "bang for buck" for any investment made to improve energy efficiency,
An energy consultant will give you independent advice, whereas a lighting consultant will try and sell you energy efficient lighting, and a compressor company will tell you to upgrade your equipment. An independent energy audit will give you a full picture of your business' energy use, allowing you to make the most cost-effective decisions.
