Energy Audit

To make CO2 a manageable subject a number of requirements exists. The first and mandatory step is the performance of an Energy Audit, which means setting up a reliable energy data base. How to do this along best practice experience will be explained in theory and exercised in seminars:

- Why an Energy Audit is unrenounceable for managing energy and CO2? (A reliable database about the energy use in the company is needed to calculate related CO2 emissions - A breakdown of energy use is needed to itemize energy use per internal consumers to identify weak points and energy saving potentials - Clever indicators are needed to set into relation energy consumption and costs and to use controlling and benchmarking instruments - Typical failures of insufficient energy management in industry, which have to be avoided)- Planning an Energy Audit - Collecting and documentation of energy data - How to interpret energy data? - Energy Audit exercises in the class room (Interpretation of energy curves and what they can tell us - Training on computer aided data collection tools)- Energy Audit exercises in the reality of a company (perform your first Energy Audit)
