The energy audit is useful for reducing energy consumption and costs, and increasing profitability. After an audit, savings of 15-25% of required energy can be achieved in buildings, 20-50% in lighting and 5-20% in industry.
As an illustration, the results of a heating system audit of a school of 2500m2 are set out below:
The problem: The heating system was over centralized and was totally inefficient.
Proposal: Install an automatic control system that works individually on thermal demands.
Results Achieved:
- Cost savings of fuel consumed (21% of gas oil consumption).
- Avoid emission of 23 Tn / Year of CO2 and 66 Kg / year SOx atmosphere.
- Improve thermal comfort of building occupants.
