Energy Auditing and Performance Benchmarking Course

Training Outlines

Introduction

Energy auditing turns utility and operating data into actionable performance improvements. This course combines systematic investigation, technical analysis, benchmarking and financial evaluation to help facilities teams reduce consumption while maintaining operational requirements.

Objectives

• Define energy-audit objectives, scope and governance requirements.
• Build accurate energy baselines from utility and operating data.
• Plan surveys, measurements and system-level investigations.
• Benchmark performance using normalised and comparable indicators.
• Identify and quantify practical energy-conservation measures.
• Evaluate costs, savings, payback and implementation risks.
• Design measurement and verification plans for approved measures.
• Produce evidence-based audit reports and improvement roadmaps.
