Energy Audit Services for
BEE energy audit services in India for designated consumers and energy-intensive facilities. An instrumented survey, an energy balance from supply to end use, ranked conservation measures and a compliant report by accredited energy auditors. One accountable engagement from Mumbai that turns an Energy Conservation Act 2001 obligation into measured, lower energy cost.
From a statutory audit to measured energy savings
For designated consumers, energy-intensive facilities and the boards that govern their energy performance.
Energy is wasted wherever it is not measured. An energy audit turns a facility energy bill into evidence, finding where electricity and heat are lost and what it costs to recover them.
What the audit is
Section 2(i) of the Energy Conservation Act, 2001, amended in 2022 and in force since 1 January 2023, defines an energy audit as the verification, monitoring and analysis of the use of energy, carried into a technical report with recommendations, a cost-benefit analysis and an action plan to reduce energy consumption.
Who must have one
The obligation falls on designated consumers in the energy-intensive sectors notified under the Schedule, who can be directed to get the audit conducted by an accredited energy auditor. A certified energy auditor qualification alone is not sufficient for the statutory audit.
How GreenSutra runs it
Energy Audit Services carry a facility through the whole sequence, scoped to the type of audit it needs: an instrumented survey metered at the panel, an energy balance from supply to end use, conservation measures ranked by payback, and an audit report filed for compliance.
Where the data reaches
A credible emission intensity baseline from the audit serves the domestic Carbon Credit Trading Scheme, the ECSBC 2024 building code and the EU-facing CBAM reporting energy-intensive exporters now face, from one data set. GreenSutra runs the work end to end from Mumbai across India.
How an energy audit engagement runs
Five stages from the obligation check to a filed report and an implemented action plan.
Confirm the obligation and scope
Designated-consumer status under the Schedule, building-code applicability and any CCTS obligation confirmed, and the type of audit and its interval scoped against the amended Act before work begins.
Instrumented survey and metering
The facility surveyed with a panel meter and a clamp meter at each measurement point, so supply and demand are read on instruments rather than estimated.
Energy balance from supply to end use
The metered readings close into an energy balance that maps the facility supply across process, thermal and loss end uses, the baseline every conservation measure is judged against.
Conservation measures ranked by payback
Measures ranked by payback into no-cost, low-cost and capital actions, each with the savings identified and a cost-benefit case a board can act on.
Audit report and compliance
An audit report by an accredited energy auditor carries the recommendations, the cost-benefit analysis and the action plan, with the action-taken and annual status data prepared for the designated agency.
How an energy audit flows from facility to filed report
A metered survey closes into an energy balance, conservation measures are ranked by payback, and the audit report is filed for compliance.
An energy-intensive facility, a designated consumer under the Schedule to the Energy Conservation Act, draws its supply through a metered panel.
An accredited energy auditor instruments the survey with a panel meter and a clamp meter at each measurement point, metering supply and demand at the panel.
The readings close into an energy balance that maps the facility supply to its end uses across process, utility and loss.
Measures are ranked by payback into no-cost, low-cost and capital actions, and the savings against the baseline are identified.
The audit report, with its recommendations, cost-benefit analysis and action plan, is filed for Bureau of Energy Efficiency compliance.
A designated facility is surveyed on instruments at the panel, the readings close into an energy balance, conservation measures are ranked by payback, and an accredited energy auditor files the report for Bureau of Energy Efficiency compliance.
Types of energy audits
Three audit depths, matched to what a facility needs and the obligation it carries.
Basic audit
Works from existing and documented data to size energy consumption and the obvious savings, a quick first study that frames the work that follows.
Targeted audit
Directs instruments at a specific system or end use, where one load drives the bill, to curate the conservation measures for that target.
Detailed audit
Evaluates all consumption and patterns: a full instrumented survey, an energy balance and ranked measures with cost-benefit analysis. The detailed audit is the form the statutory audit takes, and can be carried to ISO 50002 or investment-grade depth.
Benefits of an energy audit
What a surveyed, balanced and reported audit earns an energy-intensive facility.
Compliance assured
A statutory audit by an accredited energy auditor with the reports the designated agency requires, so the obligation is met and the penalty exposure under Section 26 of the Act is avoided.
Lower energy cost
Conservation measures ranked by payback turn metered waste into no-cost, low-cost and capital actions, so the energy bill falls on evidence rather than guesswork.
Emissions baseline
A credible energy and emission intensity baseline that serves CCTS targets and the embedded-emissions data EU-facing CBAM reporting draws on.
Cleaner operations
Efficiency and the non-fossil share the amended Act anticipates, advanced together, so each measure lightens both the cost and the carbon of the facility.
Why GreenSutra leads energy audit consulting
The reasons behind the reputation.
Accredited auditing
Statutory audits conducted by BEE accredited energy auditors, the standard the Energy Conservation Act requires for the mandatory audit.
Instrumented method
A survey metered at the panel and an energy balance from supply to end use, so findings rest on logged readings rather than estimates.
Payback discipline
Conservation measures ranked into no-cost, low-cost and capital actions, each with a cost-benefit case a board can act on.
End to end delivery
Obligation check, survey, energy balance, measures, report and compliance filing handled as one accountable engagement.
Mumbai based, pan India
Energy audits delivered for facilities across India from a Mumbai base.
Built for every facility under the obligation
The same survey and reporting discipline, tuned to where a facility stands under the Energy Conservation Act.
Designated consumers
Energy-intensive plants in the notified Schedule sectors carried through the mandatory audit at the prescribed intervals.
Commercial and office buildings
Buildings at a connected load of 100 kW or a contract demand of 120 kVA and above audited and aligned to the ECSBC 2024 baseline.
CCTS obligated entities
Entities in the notified carbon-market sectors supported with the energy and emission intensity data their GEI targets rest on.
Hotels and large facilities
Hospitality and mixed-use sites surveyed for the conservation measures and the non-fossil share that lower running cost.
