Cables

An energy audit is recommended to determine the energy consumption associated with a facility and the Cogeneration

potential savings associated with that energy consumption.

Diesel Gensets

From a general point of view, an energy audit provides enormous benefits in different areas: ESCOs and EPC

It helps reduce energy costs in your facility. Energy management

With a reduction in production costs, the competitiveness of your company will be improved. Energy policy

It helps reduce the dependence on foreign energy sources.

Heat pumps
It helps reduce environmental damage and pollution.
Motors
It can increase the security of your energy supply.
Power Quality
It can reduce the consumption of natural resources.
Transformers
It can reduce damage to the environment associated with the exploitation of resources.

It helps reduce the impact of greenhouse gas emissions.

At a particular level, among the major benefits of doing an energy audit are:

It helps you to lower energy bills.

It enables you to increase the comfort of those in the facility.

It helps you to increase the life span of the equipment in your facility.

It discovers any unaccounted consumption that may exist at the facility.

In summary, an energy audit can identify energy consumption and energy costs of the facility and it can

evolve over time to develop measures to eliminate waste, maximize efficiency and optimize supply energy.

The energy audit affects three key factors:

profitability through optimization of energy expenditure

productivity through optimization of equipment and processes

performance, thanks to the rationalization of energy use.
