Energy Audit (Detail)
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”.
Why Energy Audit?
Industry

• Reduce energy bills
• Increase competitiveness
• Increase productivity
• Improve quality
• Increase profits

Nation

• Reduce energy imports
• Avoided costs can be used for poverty reduction
• Conservation of limited resources
• Improved energy security

Globe

• Reduce Green House Gases & other emissions
• Maintains a sustainable environment

Types of Energy Audit
These depend on

• Function and type of industry
• Depth to which final audit is needed and
• Potential and magnitude of cost reduction desired

Detailed Energy Audit (Details)
It offers the most accurate estimate of savings and cost. It considers the interactive efforts all the projects , accounts for the energy use of all major equipment and includes detailed energy cost saving calculations and project cost.
The methodology adopted by CII-Centre of Excellence for Competitiveness for carring out detailed energy audit is as follows-
Preliminary Energy Audit:

• Establish Energy Consumption in the organization
• Estimate scope for saving
• Identify most likely areas for attention and immediate Savings / Improvement
• Set a reference point
• Preliminary Energy Audit uses existing or easily obtained data.

Submission of Techno-Commercial Proposal

• Scope of Audit
• Time Frame
• Expertise required
• Saving Possible
• Pricing Structure and Cost of Audit

Detailed Energy Audit

• Meeting with plant personnel
• Training Programme
• Data Collection and Measurement Analysis of data
• On site trial (if possible) Establishing energy saving projects
• Technical Discussion with Plant Team
• Final Presentation to the Management
• Submission of Detailed Energy Audit Report consisting of

                a.    Energy Saving Proposals
                b.    Back-up Calculations
                c.    Present Energy Consumption Scenario
                d.    Guide lines for implementation
                e.    Managerial Guidelines
                f.    Vendor List
