Handbook of energy audits
As a result of changes in the energy marketplace, the role of energy audits has greatly expanded. There is an increasing need in business and industry to more effectively manage energy use. Reducing utility costs is still one of the most effective and achievable strategies for lowering the operating costs.
Today, many large energy consumers are contracting with energy service providers to implement energy projects. This arrangement necessitates the establishing of baseline energy usage as well as quantification
of savings resulting from project implementation. Accurate and complete energy audits are essential as a means to assess and verify a project’s success at meeting contracted goals. This book is designed to provide
you with the fundamental knowledge you need to evaluate how energy is used in commercial facilities, establish accurate baseline information, and identify where energy consumption can be reduced.
The Energy Auditing Handbook will also provide you with all the information you need to establish an energy audit program for your facility. Energy accounting procedures, electrical, mechanical, building and process systems analysis, life cycle costing, and maintenance management are all covered in detail.
This book is a first level energy audit reference for energy engineers as well as non-engineers and others new to the field of energy management. It will guide the reader through the audit process system by system to help them identify and prioritize conservation potential as well as identify several low-cost and no-cost operational and maintenance opportunities. The book provides practical example calculations to help readers understand and apply basic energy calculations to their projects.
