Energy audit of an enterprise is the optimization of the energy consumption of an enterprise. Search and elimination or recommendations for improving energy costs can be carried out for the purpose of prevention or in conjunction with the modernization of the enterprise.
Despite the novelty of the concept of energy audit and, it would seem, a new type of work implied by this concept, this is not a new type of activity, just earlier its different parts and services were provided by different organizations. Over time, the expediency of combining services of the same direction became obvious, thus, energy audit appeared as such. p>
What is within the competence of an energy auditor?
The main task of the auditor is to determine the energy efficiency of the enterprise. For this, an acquaintance with the enterprise, its capacities and technical documentation is carried out. Next, the auditor analyzes the information received, based on the results of which he develops an action plan for energy conservation. However, the plan cannot be unfounded, so technical and economic justifications are attached to it.
Based on the results of the work carried out, an energy auditor or an energy audit company submits a detailed report containing a description of the existing situation, all the work done and an energy saving plan with justifications for the necessary changes and upgrades.
Energy audit can be directed to two types of energy consumption of the enterprise - electricity supply (consumption) and heat supply (consumption). You can order an energy audit common for these two types.
Among other things, by agreement, the customer can order services close to the tasks of the auditor, but not included in his action plan - for example, design services for heat and power supply, drawing up a business plan.
The value of an energy audit is unconditional for enterprises that do not have the latest equipment and incur colossal energy losses. This, in turn, is reflected in the economic situation of the enterprise as a whole.
Energy audit is a means of helping to save real money by channeling them in a more suitable direction.
