WHAT IS AN ENERGY AUDIT?
Energy audits “periodic and mandatory” constitutes a
strategic element to help companies REDUCE ENERGY
COSTS and MANAGE ENERGY CONSUMPTION to the extent
that it will allow to examine THE STATE OF ENERGY-USING
EQUIPMENT and take necessary MEASURES to replace any
other repair or improvement and reduce energy losses.

CRA2E (LCECP)
Conservation ProjectEtude, Contrôle et Pilotage
OBJECTIVE OF ENERGY AUDIT?
The primary objective of Energy Audit is to determine ways to
lower operating costs or to reduce energy consumption:
- per unit of product output (industry)
- ft² or person (commercial/building)
Energy Audit provides a " bench-marking“ (Reference point) for
managing energy in the organization and also provides the basis
for planning a more effective use of energy.

WHAT IS THE ENERGY MANAGEMENT?
- "The judicious and effective use of energy to maximize
profits (minimize costs) and enhance competitive positions“
- "The strategy of adjusting and optimizing energy, using
systems and procedures so as to reduce energy requirements
per unit of output while holding constant or reducing total
costs of producing the output from these systems"

OBJECTIVE OF ENERGY MANAGEMENT?
The objective of Energy Management is to achieve and
maintain optimum energy procurement and utilization,
throughout the organization and:
• to optimize specific energy consumption
•To minimize energy costs
• To minimise environnemental effects.

Energy Audit is the key to a systematic approach for decision
making in the area of energy management.
It attempts to balance the total energy inputs with its use, and
serves to identify all the energy streams in a facility.
It quantifies energy usage according to its discrete functions.

We note that the maximum power drawn does not exceed 7000 kW for every time
slot, while the power is reduced out of 8000 kW. It is recommended to revise the
STEG contract for the decline of the reduced power to 6700 kW divided as follows:
Subscribed power Value kW
Daytime peak 6700
Evening peak 6700
Winter peak 6700
Summer peak 6700
Subscribed reduced power 6700
This decline of reduced power generate immediately a gain of 54 400
TND per year without penalty calculated as follows:
Gain = 3,5 X (actual reduced power – projected reduced power) x
month per year = 3,5 x(8000 – 6700) x 12 = 54 400 TND

RESULTS OF PRELEMINARY VISIT
IN COOLING MODE :
After the preliminary visit, we noted following points:
• The regulation of the shutters (volets) of recycled air and the new air is
inefficient implying either an excess of new air (to cool) or an excess of
air recycled (partially polluted).
• During audited period, the outside climatic conditions were rather
favorable for a march in 100 % of new air.
• The AHU N°2,3,7,8,11 et 15 were inable to satisfy the conditions of confort
required.
• The networks of connection and distribution of Chillers are inefficient

The water consumption of supplement of condenser is excessive (Needs

IN HEATING MODE :
• The regulation of the shutters of new and recycle air is inefficient
implying either an excess of new air (for heating) OR an absence of new
air (affected confort and sanitary conditions).
• The march of the ventilators of resumption(reprise) and blowing
(soufflage) in mode 50 % and 100 % implies a rate of air renewal far

§ The capability of the energy auditor and the scope of an audit could be
extended by the use of in place instrumentation and temporary
monitoring equipment.
§ In-place instrumentation refers to existing utility metering, air-

(EMS).
§ These instruments must be portable, durable, easy to operate and
relatively inexpensive.

These are instruments for measuring major
electrical parameters such as kVA, kW, PF,
Hertz, kVAr, Amps and Volts.
In addition some of these instruments also
measure harmonics.
These instruments are applied on-line on
running motors without any need to stop the
motor. Instant measurements can be taken
with hand-held meters, while more advanced
ones facilitates cumulative readings with
print outs at specified intervals.

Combustion Analyzer:
This instrument has in-built chemical cells which
measure various gases such as O2, CO, NOX and
SOX.
Fuel Efficiency Monitor:
This measures oxygen and temperature of the flue
gas. Calorific values of common fuels are fed into
the microprocessor which calculates the
combustion efficiency.
Fyrit:
A hand bellow pump draws the flue gas sample into
the solution inside the fyrite. A chemical reaction
changes the liquid volume revealing the amount of
gas. A separate fyrite can be used for O2 and CO2
measurement.

Existing information
• Existing instrumentation such as utility meter readings, and energy
billings could be used to establish energy consumption patterns for the
building.
• The regularity of consumption pattern is an indicator that no significant
change in consumption occurred prior to the audit.
• This can also be used to check the validity of projections based on
extrapolated short-term monitored data.

By Measurements it’s possible to:
- Quantify energy uses and losses through a more detailed review
and analysis of equipment, systems, and operational
characteristics.
- Measurement and testing to quantify energy use and efficiency
of various systems.
- Standard energy engineering calculations are used to analyze
efficiencies and calculate energy and costs savings based on
improvements and changes to each system.

Computer Simulation
• Detail use of energy by function and a more comprehensive evaluation of
energy use patterns.
• Develop a computer simulation of building systems that will account for
weather and other variables and predict year-round energy use.
• Build a base for comparison that is consistent with the actual energy
consumption of the facility.
• Make changes to improve efficiency of various systems and measure the
effects compared to the baseline.
Because of the time involved in collecting detailed equipment information,
operational data, and setting up an accurate computer model, this is the most
expensive level of energy audit but may be warranted if the facility or systems
are more complex in nature.

summer and early fall, the outside air is at a temperature of days of
the order of 22 ° C and 55% HR

- The total absence of the provision of fresh air for 18 CTA yet its

Recommendation
The regulation of aspects of entry of fresh air must be improved.
We recommend that:
• Implementation of probes % CO2 sensors in each service area, such
information come into the logic circuit controlling the phase of fresh air.
• Levels for opening strands (volets) of fresh air and recirculated air will
depend on the respective rates of CO2, the temperature of fresh air and the
temperature and humidity of air recycled.
• Setting vouchers of fresh air by ensuring a minimum flow of air regardless
of the occupation and season through mechanical stops which closed for a
minimum of air (10 to 15% ).
