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 man age 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 quantifi cation
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 fi rst level energy audit reference for energy engineers
as well as non-engineers and others new to the fi eld 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.
