Energy Audit Methodology

Every energy audit begins with a clear definition of objectives, system boundaries, and compliance requirements.

This stage includes:

• Understanding plant operations and production patterns

• Identifying major energy-consuming systems

• Defining audit scope (electrical, thermal, utilities, processes)

• Aligning with statutory and internal reporting needs

Outcome:
A clearly documented audit scope with defined deliverables and success criteria.

System performance is benchmarked against:

• Industry best practices

• Design intent and rated efficiencies

• Applicable standards and norms

Benchmarking covers:

• Specific energy consumption (SEC)

• Equipment efficiency and loading

• Distribution and conversion losses

Outcome:
Quantified performance gaps with prioritisation based on impact and feasibility.

We deliver clear, regulator-ready, and management-friendly reports.

Deliverables typically include:

• Detailed technical audit report

• Executive summary for leadership

• Energy balance diagrams and calculations

• Implementation roadmap with prioritisation

AI-assisted reporting tools are used only to improve clarity, consistency, and turnaround time, while all reports are engineer-reviewed and approved.

Outcome:
Reports that support approvals, funding decisions, and execution.

Our consultants conduct detailed on-site inspections and measurements to capture actual operating conditions rather than relying only on design data.

Activities include:

• Equipment inspection (motors, boilers, compressors, chillers, pumps, utilities)

• Load profiling and operating-hour assessment

• Measurement of electrical, thermal, and process parameters

• Review of operating practices and control systems

Outcome:
Accurate, ground-truth energy consumption data.

Based on analysis, we identify Energy Conservation Measures (ECMs) that are technically feasible and operationally practical.

ECMs may include:

• Operational improvements and control optimisation

• Equipment efficiency upgrades

• Heat recovery and waste energy utilisation

• Process optimisation and system redesign

Each ECM is evaluated for:

• Energy savings potential

• CAPEX and OPEX implications

• Implementation complexity and risk

Outcome:
A structured list of actionable energy-saving opportunities.

Where required, we provide implementation and validation support.

This may include:

• Technical clarifications during execution

• Vendor and contractor coordination support

• Post-implementation performance verification

• Fine-tuning of operating parameters

Outcome:
Sustained energy savings and operational improvement.

Collected data is validated and structured into system-wise and plant-level energy balances.

This stage includes:

• Normalisation of data against production and operating conditions

• Development of electrical and thermal energy balances

• Identification of losses, inefficiencies, and deviation from benchmarks

AI-assisted analytical tools may be used at this stage to:

• Identify patterns across large datasets

• Detect anomalies and outliers

• Compare multiple operating scenarios efficiently

Outcome:
Clear visibility into where and how energy is consumed and lost.

All recommended measures undergo detailed techno-economic evaluation.

This includes:

• Energy and cost savings estimation

• Payback period and ROI analysis

• Sensitivity analysis for load and tariff variation

• Implementation prerequisites and constraints

AI-assisted scenario modelling may be used to assess alternate configurations; however, final recommendations are validated by experienced engineers.

Outcome:
Decision-ready recommendations aligned with client priorities.
