Benefits of ENERGY AUDIT
- Why do we need to an Energy Audit?
An Energy Audit establishes the baseline for any improvements in an organization’s energy use. It provides a comprehensive and systematic method for targeting cost effective efficiency gains. There are many examples where clients have been able to make savings without requiring any significant capital investment.
An Auditor should work with their clients to ensure those savings are achieved and sustained in the long term. The objective is to have all identified improvement projects “payout” within two to four years, equivalent to a return on investment of between 25 – 50%. Anybody receiving an accredited Energy Audit should expect to receive recommendations for savings between 5 – 15% as a typical starting point.
