Proposal Energy Audit: An energy audit is an inspection, survey and analysis of energy, flows for energy conservation in a building, process or system to reduce the amount of energy input into the system without negatively affecting the output(s). Energy audit identifies opportunities for financial savings by elimination of wasteful use of electricity, coal and fuel oil, without affecting the process or quality of product. Need for Energy Audit: It has been established that Energy savings of the order of 5 to 20% are possible by optimizing use of Energy with better house keeping, low cost retrofitting measures and use of Energy efficient equipment at the time of replacement, renovation or up gradation.

It is this first phase where you, the facility manager, can watch the work of the energy auditor to make sure he does not miss any equipment and allocates the equipment to their right meters. Phase-II: Data Analysis The second phase expected of an energy audit is an analysis of the data obtained at the facility. Here the auditor leaves the facility and returns to his place of business to use his skills and computer programs to analyze the data collected. When he/she has analyzed your existing equipment’s operation, it should match the demand and energy consumption on the electric bills. The analysis should show a breakdown of the percent of demand and energy used by various types of equipment such as air conditioning, heating, lighting, motors, etc. It should bench mark the facility’s energy use index to similar facilities. Phase-III: Recommend Energy Conservation with Cost Effective The third phase of an energy audit is to recommend energy conservation measures in equipment and operations. This would include replacing inefficient with high efficiency lighting, air conditioning, and motors, adding window tint to south and west facing windows, installing motion sensors, and purchasing there energy saving devices. Each item would have a cost and an annual savings associated with it so as to calculate a payback period and rate of return percent. They should be graphed to show individual as well as
They could also use this information to help the customers realise how they can save money by capitalising on their usage of energy. For example they could state that to save energy and money they could do the following:
The commercial Sector which had concluded that the electrical energy used in service-providing the facilities and equipment of businesses; federal, state, and local governments; and other private and public organisations this information were gathered by this source which was as it states in Brackets.
With the support of my peers and mentors, I have decided to pursue my dream of doing research in energy efficiency of utilities. I believe that with my passion and curiosity about the field, I would indeed take up much
Energy is a main source used in mining sites. For example the use to grind ore and refine copper, coal and aluminium. By reducing the usage of electricity in mine sites it will conclude with the reducement of green house gas emissions. This being done will increase the living of fossil fuel reserves. Adding onto that it will reduce the cost of
An in-home energy audit in the Seattle area typically costs around $600, but through Alternative Energy, homeowners in the
Site waste management would be in place, site waste will be at an absolute minimum due to offsite manufacturing of the building system.
Everyone uses a lot of power for lighting, heating, machines, movements, and so much more. All of that energy has to come from an energy supply. Some energy resources are renewable, while others are non-renewable. Energy has various forms and is a very essential part of our everyday lives.
The EROEI means Energy Resource Over Energy Investment; it gives you the number you have multiply the input by to get the output, or the percentage of the input you get as an output. This is important because it allows quantifying of energy usage.
Energy efficiency helps with a lot of things. Energy efficiency helps climate change, it helps the environment by decreasing power plant outflow so our environment has a decrease of gasses , crude oils , burned coal and fossil fuels.
You are a board member of your Home Owner’s Association. At your next meeting, your goal is to educate other homeowners about energy conservation.
Army recognized the most cost-effective process was to address energy efficiency first, and then enhance with on-site renewable energy generation. Lighting and building envelope projects were some of the initial efficiency improvements made on the base. These improvements alone made 42% of the projected total energy savings.
6: Increases in energy efficiency do not necessarily lead to decreases in energy use or CO2 emissions.
Changing the way energy in buildings is monitored, controlled and consumed can bring down CO2 emissions and reduce costs (Faucheux & Nicolaï, 2011) .
According to the case study written by Jurek, Bras, Guldberg, D’Arcy, Oh, and Biller, energy costs were steadily rising and were predicted to continue this trend going into the future. At the same time, utility companies were beginning to implement Smart Grid technologies to increase the efficiency of energy distribution. One resulting program to emerge from
By taking the position as Raj Bhatt, Business Development manager of GE Canada, I am comfortable and confident that energy efficiency is an attractive industry and business opportunity. What makes Raj Bhatt believe that the Energy Efficiency projects will be successful in Canada is that the project helps not only the ESCo, which conducts the performance-based contracting, but also the customers, who are more aware of the benefits of Energy Efficiency project. The Energy Efficiency project will optimize the energy usage, including conservation, use of efficient equipment and off peak usage. Even though the project has required intensive initial capital investment and long payback period, it will
