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 OF ENERGY AUDITING

• 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)

Agreements and energy audits

• Voluntary energy conservation agreement
• significant carrier for energy audits in all
  sectors except the transport sector
• partners to the agreements are obliged to carry
  out energy audits and to reach a set coverage
  within a certain time

Energy Audits Results

• Savings potential
• service sector (appr. 1200 buildings)
• Heat 15
• Electricity 6
• Water 7
• small and medium sized industry (appr. 190
  buildings)
• Heat and fuels 25
• Electricity 8
• Water 11
• the saving potentials in the energy intensive
  industry and power and heat sector are
  considerably smaller

17
Rules for Energy Audits subsidised by the
Ministry of Trade and Industry (MTI)

• Standard contents
• Proper scheme to be applied for the case in
  question
• Criteria to be met by the applicant of the
  subsidy
• Authorised auditors for HVAC and electrical
  installations
• Cost limits
• Forms of application and payment of the subsidy
• Reporting procedure
• Subsidy level

18
Direct government support

• The government finances the costs of the
  operating agent (Motiva) of the Finnish energy
  audit program and gives 4050 support for the
  energy auditing project expenses
• 1520 subsidies for conventional energy saving
  investments for companies who have joined the
  voluntary Energy Conservation Agreements with the
  Government.
• Higher subsidies (20..25 ) has been granted for
  ESCO investment projects at least until the end
  of the year 2004 by the government

Profitability of the proposed energy saving
measures of 1 265 buildings

Regional Energy Audits

• meant for
• mapping the existing use of fuels and the
  potential for increasing
• the use of RES in the production of heat and
  power in a munici-
• pality or other region
• supporting the working out of the plan for RES
  in implementing
• the voluntary energy conservation agreement
• done by
• working out a regional energy balance
• estimating the available sources of renewable
  energy
• identifying facilities where the available
  sources of renewable
• energy could feasibly replace the use of
  non-renewable energy
• sources
