The document discusses energy audits and provides details about conducting an energy audit at a milk plant. It describes the goals of energy audits as minimizing costs for energy, operations, repairs, and increasing environmental quality. The document outlines the methodology for preliminary and detailed energy audits, including data collection, measurements, analysis, and post-audit presentations. It also provides a case study of an energy audit conducted at a milk plant, identifying areas for savings through improvements to boilers, air compressors, and illumination systems.

Energy Audit
ENERGY AUDIT (EA)
 pool of activities (systematic procedure) focused on
analysis of current energy need and consumption
going out of valid technical standards,
 analysis of problems (weaknesses and deficiencies),
 EA identifies and in detail quantifies effective
possibilities of energy savings tailored to the object
being analyzed,

TYPE OF ENERGY AUDIT
 The type of Energy Audit to be performed depends on:
- Function and type of industry
- Depth to which final audit is needed, and
- Potential and magnitude of cost reduction desired
 Thus Energy Audit can be classified into the following two
types.
i) Preliminary Audit
ii) Detailed Audit

6. 6 of 26
Energy Audit
PRELIMINARY ENERGY AUDIT METHODOLOGY
 Establish energy consumption in the organization
 Estimate the scope for saving
 Identify the most likely (and the easiest areas for attention
 Identify immediate (especially no-/low-cost) improvements/
savings
 Set a ‘reference point’
 Identify areas for more detailed study/measurement
 Preliminary energy audit uses existing, or easily obtained
data

Energy Audit
DETAILED ENERGY AUDIT METHODOLOGY
 It is offers most accurate estimate of energy savings and cost
 This is based on an inventory of energy using systems,
assumptions of current operating conditions and calculations
of energy use.
 Detailed energy auditing is carried out in three phases: Phase
I, II and III.
Phase I - Pre Audit Phase
Phase II - Audit Phase
Phase III - Post Audit Phase

AREAS OF ENERGY AUDIT
Subject of energy consumption analysis are energy resources
consumed in the industrial area, i.e.
 Electricity
 Natural gas
 Steam
 Coal
 Wood, wood chips/pellets
 Fuels (petrol, oil, propane-butane).....

Energy Audit
AREAS OF ENERGY AUDIT
• thermal-technical protection of buildings,
• heating systems
• hot water preparation,
• ventilation systems and air-conditioning (buildings and technology)
• electric appliances (administrative and technological incl. electrical
connection, transformation, distribution network, el. switchboards, el.
compensation)
• gas or other energy resources consuming appliances (furnaces, cleaning
devices,..)
• Indoor/outdoor lighting,
• measurement and regulation.

Conclusion
The gaps may exist in design & actual operations for large complexes due
to integration of :
 Steam thermal systems.
 Electrical systems
 Process systems (Motive/ Thermal loads) due to variation in
efficiencies/ actual requirements
 Continuous monitoring and analysis of integrated systems is essential
for improvements.
 Energy Audits will identify such gaps.
 Implementation of recommendations will result into considerable
energy savings.
