Process of Undertaking a Successful Energy Audit Description

Energy audits can play a crucial role in ensuring that investments to improve the efficiency of existing facilities are effective. Around the world, governments encourage, support, and mandate the undertaking of energy audits.

Unfortunately, many audits are not undertaken successfully. In fact, an evaluation of several hundred energy audits of commercial and industrial facilities undertaken in recent years in Victoria, Australia, found that roughly only 50% of the audits were successful.

In this Commercial Energy Audit Process Course, you’ll learn a comprehensive process for successfully undertaking an energy audit. You can apply this process to deliver an Investment Grade Audit (IGA) or Detailed Feasibility Study (DFS).

Why and How This Course Has Been Developed

We developed this Commercial Energy Audit Process Course because far too many energy audits have low implementation rates, fail to thoroughly investigate all savings opportunities, and costs and savings are sometimes poorly estimated.

Your instructor is an energy auditor with more than two decades of experience and has undertaken energy audits, including IGAs/DFSs of hundreds of facilities:

Offices
Schools
Hotels
Hospitals
Restaurants
Municipal buildings
Factories
Food manufacturers
Chemical manufacturers
Primary producers

He has assisted energy users achieve measured reductions in their energy use of up to 80%.
