Energy Audit - Energy Inspection of Buildings

At the moment, our country has taken a course to reduce the use of natural gas and coal for various purposes - from heating, electricity production to individual technological processes. This entire course can be attributed to the field of energy efficiency and energy saving, which is based on various laws on alternative energy, energy efficiency and energy saving.
The common goal of these laws is to form:
- legal;
- economic;
- organizational prerequisites for stimulating the reduction of consumption of all energy resources.
In world practice, there are several approaches, stages to achieving energy efficiency. But most experts say it is an energy survey, or energy audit, as a priority tool to achieve the economic effect of the implementation of energy conservation measures. According to them, it is the energy audit that defines the fine line between the energy saving potential / pre-investment preparation / implementation of projects.

Tasks, goals and general concepts of energy inspection

So:
An energy audit (energy audit) is directly collecting and analyzing all information about the consumption / use of energy resources, evaluating energy efficiency indicators, identifying savings potential in money and percentage terms, and reflecting the actual situation in the energy passport.
Energy audits of enterprises, houses, apartments, offices and so on can be carried out in relation to:
- only walling (walls, windows, roofing ....)
- engineering systems;
- energy metering systems;
- in relation to various manufactured products;
- technological processes;
- a legal entity or an individual entrepreneur;
The main concepts include:
- energy resource - simply put, the source of energy (thermal, electric, atomic or other energy)
- energy saving is the implementation of all possible measures (technical, legal, legal and others) aimed at reducing energy consumption, without harming the microclimate of the house (internal temperature, humidity) and reducing production volumes for enterprises.
- energy efficiency is nothing more than a relationship of the beneficial effect of the resources spent on achieving this effect.
The main goals include:
- obtaining data on energy consumption, their analysis, compiling balances:
- quantitative determination of the potential for saving resources (gas, fuel, electricity);
- determination of quality indicators of energy efficiency;
- development of solutions to reduce energy consumption with a mandatory economic justification.
As a result, it should be noted that before starting work on energy audit, one must clearly understand the technical task: what does the enterprise, home, or corny apartment need?
Therefore, at the first contacts with the auditor, it is necessary to determine exactly how the survey will be conducted, what stages it will consist of in order to get the maximum result.
