An energy audit is a systematic examination process that analyzes energy consumption habits in industrial facilities to reveal savings opportunities. With continuously rising energy costs in Turkey and EU Green Deal compliance requirements, energy audits have become a strategic necessity for manufacturing facilities of all sizes.
What Is an Energy Audit and Why Is It Necessary?
An energy audit is the process of examining a facility’s consumption profile of electricity, natural gas, steam, compressed air, and other energy sources in detail. Energy audits conducted in accordance with the EN 16247 standard enable facilities to identify energy losses and set concrete savings targets. Under Turkey’s Energy Efficiency Law, energy audits are a legal requirement for facilities consuming more than 1,000 TOE annually.
Key Steps of the Energy Audit Process
A successful energy audit must be conducted with a structured methodology. The key steps are:
- Preliminary assessment: Collection of billing analysis, consumption data, and facility information
- Field measurements: Real-time data collection with energy analyzers, flow meters, and thermal cameras
- Data analysis: Extraction of energy consumption profiles and identification of loss points
- Reporting: Calculation of savings potential, investment payback periods, and prioritization
- Implementation follow-up: Execution of recommended improvements and verification measurements
