Need for Energy Audit

In any industry, the three top operating expenses are often found to be energy (both electrical

and thermal), labour and materials. If one were to relate to the manageability of the cost or

potential cost savings in each of the above components, energy would invariably emerge as a

top ranker, and thus energy management function constitutes a strategic area for cost

reduction. Energy Audit will help to understand more about the ways energy and fuel are

used in any industry, and help in identifying the areas where waste can occur and where

scope for improvement exists.

The Energy Audit would give a positive orientation to the energy cost reduction,

preventive maintenance and quality control programmes which are vital for production and

utility activities. Such an audit programme will help to keep focus on variations which occur

in the energy costs, availability and reliability of supply of energy, decide on appropriate

energy mix, identify energy conservation technologies, retrofit for energy conservation

equipment etc.

In general, Energy Audit is the translation of conservation ideas into realities, by lending

technically feasible solutions with economic and other organizational considerations within a

specified time frame.

The 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 and also provides the basis

for planning a more effective use of energy throughout the organization.
