Energy Conservation Audits!
How to conduct an effective energy audit is something that requires knowledge of the amount of energy usage distribution in a particular establishment. The areas with large energy consumption, are usually the areas where a large potential for conservation is present. It is important therefore to identify these areas, and to understand the processes in the system. Familiarity with the processes is another key. Knowing, what the critical aspects are of a particular process is important, as this provides a better understanding of what the constraining factors for an energy conservation opportunity are in existence. Then a general knowledge of alternative systems available in the industry is necessary, so that more efficient ways of attaining the same objective is introduced in a given process. The investment on equipment and new technology will usually be a part of the availing of the energy saving opportunities. Normally, however, one would not see this necessary without going into the examination of the practices and methods that are currently in use.
