An energy audit is a systematic assessment of the baseline energy consumption efficiency within a facility, followed by identification of energy efficiency improvement opportunities and cost-saving measures.  Depending on the type of premise and equipment involved, an energy audit scope may include electrical and thermal energy.  An energy audit may be conducted on a whole premise, on a selected, high energy consuming area, or on a specific equipment/system.

An energy audit is conducted to achieve key goals:-

• To assess the energy utilization performance of a facility, its processes and equipment/system,
• To reduce energy losses and improve the facility’s energy efficiency, and
• To reduce the energy bills and improve the profit margin of the affected organization.

We highly recommend that the installation periodically conduct a continuing energy audit to sustain an efficient operation, avoid energy and cost wastage, and stay competitive. The findings and recommendations from the energy audits can be used as a basis for a company to implement a sustainable energy management improvement program.  The required regular reporting of such energy management program can, in turn, help the company abide by the Energy Commission requirement to submit energy consumption report every six months.
