Definition of Energy Audit

As per Indian 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.

Need for Energy Audit

 The three top operating expenses are energy
(both electrical and thermal), labour and
materials.
 Energy would emerge as a top ranker for cost
reduction
 Primary objective of Energy Audit is to determine
ways to reduce energy consumption per unit of
product output or to lower operating costs
 Energy Audit provides a “Bench-mark” (Reference
point) for managing energy in the organization

Conclusions
 Energy Audits are essentially required to have an
energy efficient approach and watch.
 With the better analysis of existing energy
consumption profile on micro-level, energy audit
proved helpful in technical and economical feasibility
aspects.
 By adopting some basic techniques and
recommendations, an organization can do better
without investing much on new.
