Energy Audit
An Energy Audit is a systematic procedure to obtain adequate knowledge of the existing energy consumption profile in a building, industrial facility, public or private service, identifying and quantifying profitable opportunities for energy savings and emission reduction.

BENEFITS OF ENERGY SAVINGS
Improve efficiency, achieving the energy savings target proposed by ACEEE – American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy.
A growing number of US states are setting mandatory energy-saving targets. Experience to date indicates that most states are on track to meet the targets that have been set, and that establishing such targets is driving significant and cost-effective energy-efficiency. However, targets need to be developed with care and the many issues considered in setting targets. Among the issues that need to be considered are:
- Legal authority for setting targets
- Who the targets apply to (utilities, a state agency or some other organization)
- State-wide versus utility-specific targets
- Target levels including what savings are included, how savings are to be evaluated, and specific metrics and
- Baselines to use
- How much flexibility to allow and whether to include cost caps.
Ease some of the obligations of obligated parties regarding final energy efficiency goals.
Promote energy conservation.
Valorize energy savings targets for end consumers.
The International Savings Measurement and Verification Protocol, developed by the American non-profit organization EVO, has become a de facto standard in the market. This protocol, along with the tools that complement it, allows you to manage the benefits and risks associated with actions to improve energy efficiency, renewable energy, and efficient use of ressources.
Measurement and verification plans developed based on this type of standard protocol are useful in applications such as:
- Energy supply contracts with pay-for-performance justification.
- Reducing management costs in energy service contracts.
- Public credibility for energy savings reports.
- Justification of requirements in sustainability certification.
APPLICATION OF ENERGY SAVINGS CERTIFICATION
Such certification of energy savings allow companies to fulfill part of their obligations at the lowest possible cost, directly promoting actions and showing, internally and externally, the commitment to the rational use of resources, reflecting achieved goals in consumption reduction, recognized as a result of responsible investments in sustainability:
- Development of the Savings Measurement and Verification Plan.
- Commissioning of Monitoring Systems.
- Periodic reports demonstrating energy-savings.
- Periodic review of indicators associated with measure and verification plans.
