Why An Energy Audit?

• Identify where energy is going


• Identify savings opportunities
• See how you compare

Types of Energy Audits
• ASHRAE
• Level 1 – Walk Through Assessment
• Level 2 - Energy Survey and Analysis
• Level 3 – Detailed Analysis of Capital
Intensive Modifications
• Natural Resources Canada
Federal Buildings Initiative (FBI)
• Yardstick Audit
• Screening Audit
• Walkthrough Audit
• Engineering Audit
Planning Questions
• What are the desired outcomes (needs
analysis)?
• What data and support is available?
• What level of funding is required?
• Is the focus on “Buildings” or
“Processes”?
• What energy types/ fuels should be
included?
• What is the available budget?
The Energy Audit
Process
• Data Gathering
• Utility Analysis
• Inventory and Review of Equipment
Performance
• Measurements and Monitoring
• Identify Potential Energy
Conservation Measures
• Analysis of Saving Potential
• Financial Analysis
• Reporting
Seven Steps to Energy
and Cost Reduction
1. Understand the Cost of Energy
2. Compare Yourself
3. Understand When Energy is
Used
4. Understand Where Energy is
Used
5. Eliminate Waste
6. Maximize Efficiency
7. Optimize Energy Supply
1. Understand the Cost
of Energy
• Electricity
• Demand ($/kW)
• Energy ($/kWh)
• Power Factor
• Time of Use Rates
• Natural Gas or Fuel
• Cost per GJ, m3 or litre
• Cost per equivalent kWh
• Fixed vs. Variable Costs
Understand Demand
Charges
Cost to Operate:
• “Off Peak”
Time
50 kW approx $8
heater for • “On Peak”
5 hours Time
approx $330
2. Compare Yourself

• Internally Result
Measure
• historical comparison
• temporary metering & Data
analysis Take Action
• permanent metering
• Externally Analyze
Information
• versus industry figures
• other facilities in your area
• other industry organizations
Monitoring and
Targeting
• Measuring energy
consumption over time
• Relating energy consumption
to drivers
• Setting targets for reduced
consumption
Metering Leads to
Opportunities
• Excess overnight and weekend use
identified
• Confirm on / off schedules of systems
• Identify peak demand control potential
• Scheduling – reduce start-up peaks
• Investigate off-production usage
• Avoid infrequent demand peaks
• Equipment loading – consider sequencing
Example: Office Building
Peak at 7am
4. Understand Where
You Use Energy

5. Eliminate Energy
Waste
• “Turn it off”
• Lights, fans, pumps
• Leaks (air, water)
• Freezer/cooler air leakage
• “Turn it down”
• Temperature, water & air flow
• Compressed air pressure & flow
• “Control it”
• Exhaust / make-up air balance
6. Maximize Efficiency
• Maintenance / Low Cost
• Filters and lubrication
• Clean heat exchangers
• Motor conditions
• Improve combustion efficiencies
• Technology
• Lighting Upgrades (LED, CFL, Fluorescent)
• High efficiency equipment (boilers,
motors, chillers)
Overall Approach: Match
& Maximize
Match the Need

Reduce Losses
7. Optimize Energy
Supply

• Consider heat recovery


• After minimizing consumption
• Consider renewable energy
• Solar water/air heating
• Daylighting
• Wind
Examples of Energy
