An energy audit is the review and
control of the energy performance of
a facility's installations and
equipment.
The aim of the audit is to formulate
a number of justified proposals and
concrete measures to achieve a
more rational use of energy, by
analyzing where, why, how, how
much and when energy is consumed.
The effects of an energy audit
and the corrective actions it
entails on national energy
consumption not only have an
obvious economic component, but
also meet environmental
protection obligations.
This stage is carried out by the facility’s managers and technicians. This is an important preparatory stage in the audit, and covers :
To ensure the success of the audit, the facility’s management involvement is strongly recommended in this phase.
To ensure that the audit runs smoothly, the head of the facility should appoint a contact person to oversee the audit. This is the focal point, and puts the auditor intouch with the people involved in the purchase, production and use of energy.
