• An energy audit is an inspection, survey and analysis of energy

flows in a building process or system with the objective of

understanding the energy dynamics of the system under study.
•  For example when the object of study is an occupied building
then reducing energy consumption while maintaining or
improving human comfort health and safety or of primary
concern.
•  The last several decades,  industrial and Agriculture energy
audit have exploded as the demand to lower increasingly
expensive energy costs and more sports sustainable future
have made energy audit important.
• 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 cost benefits analysis and an
action plan to reduce energy consumption. 
 Energy audit study should be directed
towards
•  identifying cost effective measures to improve
the efficiency of energy use
•  estimates of potential energy saving comer
implementation costs and payback .s for each
recommended action
•  documenting results and vital information
generated through these activities
 energy audit types
• preliminary audit
• Mini audit for general audit
• detailed audit or  comprehensive audit
 preliminary audit
• it is a simple audit for screening audit or walk
through audit and it is quickest type of audit
• it involves minimal interviews with site
operating personal, on a brief review of facility
utility bills and other operating data and a
walkthrough of the facility to become familiar
with the building operation and to identify any
glaring areas of energy waste or inefficiency
 General audit
• it is also called Mini audit for site energy audit
•  it expand on the preliminary audit
•  it measures energy conservation bye by collecting more
data
•  the data may be collected for 12 to 36 months
•  it helps to find signs of energy waste
•  in-depth interviews with facility operating personnel are
conducted to provide a better understanding of major
energy consuming systems
•  sufficient detail is provided to justify project implementation
 Comprehensive audit
•  it expands on the general audit and provide dynamic
characteristics of process using existing facility and all
energy conservation measures identified
•  it can be used to get capital funding based on return
on investment
•  it is not only used to understand operating
characteristics but also to know no cause load profile
variations on short and long term bases
  industries'  major energy consuming
equipment
•  application of large drives
•  ventilation and air conditioning
•  heating and cooling
•  vertical transportation
•  pumps and exhaust
•  combustion equipment
•  compressors
•  heat treatment plants
•  water treatment plants
•  
 Energy Audit Team
• Technical Manpower
• Floor Manager/supervisor and draftsman
• Audit Personnel (Accountant)
preliminary energy audit methodology
– establish energy consumption in the organisation
–  estimate the scope for savings
–  identify the most likely and the easiest areas for
attention
–  identify immediate improvements or savings
–  set a reference point
–  identify areas for more detailed study /
measurements
 Detailed energy auditing methodology

•  there are three phases

– Phase 1 Pre Audit
– Phase 2 Audit
– Phase 1 Post Audit
• Phase 1 Pre Audit
– plan and organise
– walk through audit
– informal interview
– conduct brief meetings and awareness programs
• Phase 2   audit

– primary data gathering, process flow diagram and energy utility

diagram
– conduct survey and monitoring
– conduct of detailed trials
– analysis of energy use
– identification and the development of energy conservation
opportunities
– cost benefit analysis
• Phase 3  post audit
– reporting and presentation to the top
management limitation and follow-up
 Identification of energy conservation

•  investment
– equipment
–  Civil works
–  instrumentation
–   auxiliaries
– 
• annual operating costs • annual savings
– cost of capital –  thermal energy
–  maintenance –  electrical energy
–  manpower –  raw material
–  energy –  waste disposal
–  depreciation
