SARK ENGINEERS & CONSULTANTS
A PAT Scheme Energy Audit is a mandatory, compliance-oriented energy audit conducted for Designated Consumers (DCs) under the Perform, Achieve & Trade (PAT) mechanism of the Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE), Government of India.
At SARK Engineers & Consultants, we conduct measurement-based, regulation-aligned PAT energy audits that not only ensure statutory compliance but also help industries reduce SEC, avoid penalties, and achieve sustainable energy performance improvements.
What Is a PAT Scheme Energy Audit?
A PAT Scheme Energy Audit is a detailed and structured energy assessment mandated for notified Designated Consumers to establish baseline energy performance, identify Specific Energy Consumption (SEC) reduction opportunities, and support compliance reporting under the PAT cycle.
The audit is aligned with:
-
BEE PAT guidelines
-
Sector-specific SEC norms
-
Monitoring & Verification (M&V) protocols
PAT audits go beyond conventional audits by focusing on baseline accuracy, verifiable savings, and regulatory documentation.

Frequently Asked Questions – PAT Scheme Energy Audit
1. Is a PAT Scheme Energy Audit mandatory?
Yes. All Designated Consumers notified by BEE are required to conduct PAT-aligned energy audits as per the applicable PAT cycle guidelines.
2. How is a PAT energy audit different from a normal energy audit?
PAT energy audits focus on SEC reduction, baseline validation, and compliance documentation, while general energy audits focus mainly on cost savings.
3. Who can conduct a PAT Scheme Energy Audit?
PAT energy audits must be conducted by qualified and experienced energy auditors familiar with BEE guidelines and sector-specific PAT requirements.
4. What happens if PAT targets are not achieved?
Failure to meet PAT targets can result in penalties or the need to purchase ECerts, increasing compliance costs.
5. Does a PAT audit help in ECerts trading?
Yes. A robust PAT energy audit helps identify surplus savings that can potentially be converted into ECerts.
6. How often is a PAT energy audit required?
Energy audits are typically conducted at the beginning of a PAT cycle and updated as required during verification or performance review stages.
7. Can PAT audits identify cost-saving opportunities beyond compliance?
Absolutely. Many PAT measures deliver significant operational cost savings in addition to regulatory compliance.
