Energy savings of up to 30% are possible!

While conducting energy audits, it is aimed to:

• Reveal the possibilities for increasing energy efficiency in businesses,
• Evaluate the recovery potential of waste energy and reveal the energy production potential based on renewable resources,
• Reduce the burden of energy costs on businesses.

To determine the savings potential to reveal the opportunities that will provide efficiency, calculations are made based on the information collected through inspections and measurements in the businesses, and the issues related to the measures/investments that will increase the efficiency are evaluated with their technical and financial dimensions and reported.

Within the scope of the activities, the following audit profiles are handled on an annual basis.

• Input Profile
• Waste Profile
• Loss and Leakage Profile
• Inefficiency Profile
• Wastage Profile
• Emission Profile
• Energy Management Profile

Energy audits are powerful tools to uncover operational and equipment improvements that will lead to energy savings, lowering energy costs, and higher performance.

* Liable facilities must also appoint an Energy Manager and have ISO 50001 Certificate.

An energy manager is a person who has received energy management training and has an energy management certificate. Within the scope of the “Energy Management” service, the following tasks are undertaken by assigning a “Certified Energy Manager” to the name of the facility.

• Making suggestions for the effective and efficient use of energy,
• Establishing an energy policy that defines goals and priorities for energy management; defining the position, duties, authorities, and responsibilities of the energy manager or energy management unit in the hierarchical structure; informing all employees and persons related to energy management activities by publishing them as written rules,
• Determining and promoting the measures and procedures to be taken to improve consumption habits, prevent unnecessary and unconscious use, organize training programs to increase the level of knowledge and awareness of employees,
• Identifying and implementing modifications to energy-consuming systems, processes, or equipment,
• Conducting studies, following up, preparing, and implementing projects,
• Monitoring the efficiency of energy-consuming equipment, and ensuring timely maintenance and calibration,
• Evaluation of new machinery and equipment to be purchased in terms of energy efficiency,
• Preparation of energy needs and efficiency-enhancing practices, plans, budget needs, benefit, and cost analyses to be submitted to the management,
• Monitoring and evaluating energy consumption and costs and generating periodic reports,
• Procuring, installing, and calibrating the meters and measuring devices needed to monitor energy consumption on time,
• Monitoring the specific energy consumption, the relationship between the production of goods or services and energy consumption, energy costs, the energy intensity of the business, and preparing suggestions for improvement,
• Researching the possibilities of changing the energy composition and using alternative fuels, preparing and implementing measures to protect the environment, reduce harmful emissions to the environment, and not exceed the limit values,
• Preparation of alternative plans to reduce the use of petroleum products and natural gas to be implemented in case of energy supply interruption,
• Sending annual information on energy use and studies on energy management to the General Directorate by the end of March every year,
• Determination of carbon dioxide emissions in total and per unit product or benefit and the number of emissions that can be reduced by energy efficiency measures.
