9. Energy Audit Energy Audit involves a systematic study undertaken on major energy consuming sections and equipment including construction of heat and mass balance with a view to identify the flow of energy, utilization efficiency of energy in each of the steps and pinpoint energy wastages .
10. Purpose A well conducted energy audit would reveal the areas of wastage of energy and it would be possible to suggest countermeasures for saving of energy. The Energy Conservation Act requires that energy audit report to contain recommendations for improving energy efficiency with cost – benefit analysis and an action plan to reduce energy consumption.
