ENERGY MANAGEMENT OVERVIEW
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Energy Management begins with an Energy Vectors energy audit…
Effective management of energy-consuming systems can lead to significant cost and energy savings as well as increased comfort, lower maintenance costs, and extended equipment life. A successful energy management program begins with a thorough energy audit.
The energy audit evaluates the efficiency of all building and process systems that use energy. The energy vector, energy auditor, starts:
With utility meters, locating all energy sources coming into a facility.
The auditor then identifies energy streams for each fuel, quantifies those energy streams into discrete functions, evaluates the efficiency of each of those functions, and identifies energy and cost savings opportunities.
The energy streams lead to the end-use areas, products, processes and work stations.
Audit activities, in general order, include:
Analyze commissioning report studies (if taken)
Identify all energy systems
Benchmark buildings in audit against building standards
Evaluate the condition of the systems
Analyze the impact of improvements to those systems
Build an energy audit report
Build an energy portfolio for all buildings in group
The report documents:
The use and occupancy of the building.
The condition of the building and building systems equipment.
The report also recommends ways to improve efficiency through improvements in operation and maintenance items (O&M), and through installation of energy conservation measures (ECM).
It also give you a benchmark to base your buildings' portfolio against national averages.
Types of Audits:
THE WALK-THROUGH AUDIT. The walk-through audit is a tour of the facility to visually inspect each system. The walk-through includes an evaluation of energy consumption data to analyze energy use quantities and patterns, as well as to provide comparisons with industry averages, or benchmarks, for similar facilities. This is the least costly audit, but a level 1 audit can yield a preliminary estimate of savings potential and a list of low-cost savings opportunities through improvements in operational and maintenance practices, control system sequences, energy data recording and retro-commissioning tasks. The walk through audit information may be used for a more detailed audit later if the preliminary savings potential appears to warrant further auditing activity.
STANDARD AUDIT. The standard audit quantifies energy use and losses through a more detailed review and analysis of equipment, systems, operational characteristics, and on-site measurements and testing. Standard energy engineering calculations are used to analyze efficiencies and calculate energy and cost savings based on improvements and changes to each system. The standard audit will also include an financial evaluator to determine which ECM's warrant immediate attention.
COMPUTER SIMULATION. The computer audit is the most expensive level of energy audit and is most often warranted for complex facilities or systems. The audit includes more detailed energy use by function and a more comprehensive evaluation of energy use patterns. Computer simulation software is used to predict building system performance and accounts for changes in weather and other conditions. The goal is to build a base for comparison that is consistent with the actual energy use of the facility. The auditor will then make changes to improve the efficiency of various systems and measure the effects compared to the baseline. This method also accounts for interactions between systems to help prevent overestimation of savings.
