An Energy Audit is a systematic examination of how energy is used in a facility, with the intention to identify areas of energy waste and suggest cost-effective improvements to reduce consumption and operating costs
Wechitra Enterprises conducts an energy audit, which is a comprehensive analysis of a building or facility's energy consumption, including its use of electricity, natural gas, and other energy sources. An energy audit conducted by Wechitra Enterprises typically involves a team of experienced energy engineers and analysts who will review the facility's energy consumption data and conduct a detailed inspection at site, and prepare a details energy audit report with analysis, recommendations.
The audit may include the following steps:
1. Collection of energy consumption data: Our energy audit team will collect data on the facility's energy consumption, including utility bills, meter readings, and other relevant information, log-book data, etc.
2. Site inspection: The team will conduct a visual inspection of the facility's energy systems and equipment, including lighting, HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning) systems, motors, and other energy-consuming devices.
3. Tests and Measurements:- Measure parameters using tools at site, tools and measurements like
A) Liquid flow test- The Pump's water flow in the input and output sites of the pump is being tested at the site.
B) Air flow testing:- To check the air flow of AHUs, the air flow of the AHUs, cooling tower etc. is being tested using meters like the Annemo meter.
C) Dry wet bulb temperature test. ( psychrometric meter) :- To measure the efficiency of AHUs, cooling tower, and chiller plant, dry temperature, humidity are important.
D) Thermal Imaging:- Thermal imaging to check the electrical energy losses in the electrical panels, cables, switchgear connections etc.
E) Power Quality Analysis (PQA):- To check the power parameters like current, voltage, active power, reactive power, apparent power, voltage unbalance, current unbalance Total Harmonic Distortion (THDI, THDV) are analyzed using a power analyzer.
F) Motors Current, Voltage:- Motor's current and voltage are being measured to calculate the efficiency of Motors, pumps used in the factory industry buildings, etc.
4. Calculate the efficiency:- The measured data will be used to measure the current efficiency of the equipment used in the customer's site, and the efficiency will be compared with the design parameters.
5. Analysis of data: The energy audit team will analyze the collected data and evaluate the facility's energy usage patterns, identify inefficiencies and potential energy-saving opportunities, and determine the most cost-effective solutions.
6. Recommendations: Based on their analysis, the Wepower team will develop a detailed report that includes recommendations for energy-saving measures, including upgrades to equipment, changes in operational practices, and other measures that can reduce energy consumption and costs.
7. Implementation: The energy audit firm can also provide assistance in implementation services to help the facility implement the recommended energy-saving measures, including procurement and installation of new equipment and systems, training, and ongoing monitoring and maintenance.
