An Energy Audit

• In general
• gives adequate knowledge of the existing energy
  consumption profile
• identifies factors affecting the energy
  consumption
• brings up cost-effective energy saving
  opportunities
• The Core Audit
• makes an evaluation of the present consumption
• identifies and quantifies the feasible energy
  saving possibilities
• produces a report
• Targets
• Total picture of the use of energy, its
  distribution and costs
• Energy saving potential and the possibilities to
  use renewable energy sources
• Listing of all economically feasible proposals
  for energy saving measures (single pay-back time
  lt 10 a)
