The Role of Energy Audits in Energy Management Studies Towards Decarbonisation

Abstract

Energy management constitutes a comprehensive framework meticulously crafted to oversee the judicious utilisation and management of energy resources. It encompasses a multi-faceted approach aimed at optimising energy usage, integrating renewable energy sources, and meticulously monitoring energy efficiency. As the imperative of decarbonisation gains prominence, facilities are increasingly engaged in formulating strategic imperatives to chart a course towards carbon neutrality. In this context, discussions on energy audits within facilities assume paramount significance. Through a systematic analysis of energy audit outcomes, deliberations continue regarding their implications on the overarching goal of decarbonisation. This study entails the identification of energy efficiency projects utilising the facility’s existing knowledge base and their evaluation across various parameters from the business point of view.
