Energy Auditing and Recommendations

As per the Energy Conservation Act, 2001, Energy Audit is defined as the verification,
monitoring and analysis of use of energy including submission of technical report containing
recommendations for improving energy efficiency with cost benefit analysis and an action
plan to reduce energy consumption. Implementation of recommended measures can help
consumers to achieve significant reduction in their energy consumption levels. Energy audit
involves a systematic study undertaken on major energy consuming sections and equipments
including construction of heat and mass balance with a view to identify the flow of energy,
utilization efficiency of energy in each of the steps and pin point wasteful energy used. A
well conducted energy audit would reveal the areas of wastage of energy and it would be
possible to suggest saving of energy.

The Energy Conservation Act requires the energy audit report to contain recommendations
for improving energy efficiency with cost benefit analysis and an action plan to reduce
energy consumption [Clause 14(i)]. The conduction of energy audit and implementation of its
recommendations on cost benefit basis through accredited energy auditors are expected to
help the designated energy consumers to achieve significant reduction in their energy
consumption levels.
