The purpose of an energy audit is to identify, measure, and evaluate energy usage within a facility or system in order to uncover potential savings and enhance energy efficiency. The primary function of an energy audit is to provide clear information about energy consumption patterns and to identify areas where energy savings can be achieved without compromising productivity or comfort.

 

The methods used in an energy audit typically include collecting data on energy consumption, conducting field surveys to inspect equipment and processes, and analyzing the data to identify opportunities for energy savings. These techniques help in developing specific and practical recommendations, which often involve the use of energy-efficient technologies, regular equipment maintenance, and optimized operational settings. By implementing these measures, facilities can reduce energy waste and improve overall sustainability. 

 

UNY has completed an Energy Audit Report, which is accessible  [here]. This report provides comprehensive insights into energy usage, efficiency evaluations, and recommendations for energy-saving measures across the university’s facilities. The findings support UNY’s commitment to sustainable energy management and continuous improvement in reducing its carbon footprint.
