Energy today has become a key factor in deciding the product cost at the micro level as well as in dictating the inflation. Energy cost is a significant factor in economic activity as par with factors of production like capital, land, and labour. The imperatives of an energy shortage situation call for energy conservation measure, which essentially means using less energy for the same level of activity.

Energy Audit attempts to balance the total energy inputs with its use and serves to identify all the energy streams in the systems and quantifies energy usages according to its discrete function. Energy Audit helps in energy cost optimization, pollution control, safety aspects and suggests the methods to improve the operating & maintenance practices of the system

Three Stages of an Energy Audit

  Preparation: Before the auditor’s visit, gather information of your client : List of load connected, Quantity of each type of load area wise, year of construction, energy bills, type of HVAC system with details, etc

  Audit: First of all, the information that you have gathered about your home is analysed. After this, when conducting afull audit, the auditor checks. The quality of the insulation of the outside walls. The proper functioning of the heating installation, the hot water system, and the ventilation system. The proper use of your various pieces of equipment.

  Report: All the data collected during the audit are encoded into a specialized software program. This application is usedto attribute a label from A to E to all the elements analysed. The auditor then makes recommendations and draws up aprojection of the way your home would be if you were to follow these recommendations. In the last stage, the auditor draws up a final report and adds any observations he may have.

Power Quality determines the fitness of electrical power to consumer devices.This will further help you address reliability and stability concerns before they actually impact onyour facilities performance and more important on the bottom line of the organization.Without proper power, an electrical device may fail, malfunction or not operate at all.

The Poor Power Quality can Affect You?

  Higher energy consumption & High Current Load or fluctuation.

  Production Quality & Quantity losses.

  Financial Losses due to the stoppage.

  Increase in Reactive power consumption.

  The reduced life cycle of Equipment/damage.

  Energy wastage.

  Short Circuit

  Increased Maintenance and Service cost.

  Degradation of electrical system

  And many more issues

Why POWER QUALITY audit is important?

You may not be aware of issues facing in your “ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS”due to poor power quality. Diagnosis of power quality is important to

  Protect electrical equipment safety.

  Trace the area which is creating problems.

  To avoid any electrical system hazards.

  Improve Power Factor & system efficiency.

  Avoid Break-downs & Voltage/frequency fluctuations Interruptions

  Save on-going excess Energy consumption

  Remove Harmonics, Surges & Transients from electrical Network.

  Avoid Transformer overheat, Capacitor burst, Trip Etc

  Savings in Energy Bills due to reduced Losses & KVA demands

  Accurate Measurements by Installed Meter.

  Better Production Rate and Quality due to reduced interruption.

  The enhanced Life cycle of Electrical distribution system network & component.

  Maximize Plant distribution Capacity

The building energy audit seeks to analyse the energy consumption produced by a building with the aim of proposing measures to reduce them, as well as the related emissions and the economic cost of the energy used.

Green building and sustainable building both refer to the design and construction of buildings that have a minimal impact on the environment and using processes that are environmentally responsible, resource-efficient throughout a building's life-cycle from site visit to design, construction, operation, maintenance, renovation,and deconstruction. A green building: Makes efficient use of land, materials, energy,and water. Generates minimal or no waste. Provides a healthy indoor environment for its occupants.
