SYNOPSIS   

Session 1 : Planning and Execute Industrial Energy Audit Project

Increasingly in the last several decades, industrial energy audits have exploded as the demand to lower increasingly expensive energy costs and move towards a sustainable future have made energy audits greatly important. Their importance is magnified since energy spending is a major expense to industrial companies (energy spending accounts for around 10% of the average manufacturer's expenses). This growing trend should only continue as energy costs continue to rise. While the overall concept is like a home or residential energy audit, industrial energy audits require a different skillset. Weatherproofing and insulating a house are the focus of residential energy audits. For industrial applications, it is the HVAC, lighting, and production equipment that use the most energy, and hence are the primary focus of energy audits.


Session 2 : Managing Low Carbon Program Under Energy Efficiency in ESG and SDG Sector”

Up to 80 per cent of our time is spent in buildings i.e. either in the office or at home. Energy used in buildings (residential and commercial) accounts for a significant percentage of a country’s total energy consumption. This percentage depends greatly on the degree of electrification, the level of urbanization, the amount of building area per capita, the prevailing climate, as well as national and local policies to promote efficiency.

Investments in energy efficiency in a building can be compared with the cost of capital investments necessary on the supply side of the energy system to produce a similar amount of peak capacity or annual energy production. Usually, the capital costs of efficiency are lower than comparable investments in increased supply and there are no additional operating costs of efficiency compared to substantial operating costs for supply-side options. In addition, energy efficiency investments generally have much shorter lead times than energy supply investments, a particularly important consideration in countries where the demand for energy services is growing rapidly. By setting energy efficiency targets for buildings, governments and industries share the burden and cost of ensuring the security of energy supply with end-users.

In more developing and industrialized countries, policy, incentives, climate change targets and corporate image drive more efficient approaches to energy use in buildings. Codes and practice on energy regulations for buildings in developed countries include obligations for energy audits, requirements for building certification with ratings based on energy efficiency, carbon reduction targets for buildings, levies on energy consumption - charged per unit consumed to discourage high consumption, incentives such as exemption from building tax for good energy efficiency ratings, access to interest free/ low-interest loans and grants for undertaking energy efficiency measures in buildings and, as part of their corporate social responsibility, some companies would like to be seen as a green company that promotes energy efficiency.
