Q1: Why energy audits?

• EU 2020-target: increase energy efficiency 20 pct. in EU.

Energy Efficiency Directive article 8: Energy Audit in companies

4

• Purpose: Identification of energy saving potentials



Q2: What is an energy audit in terms of the Energy Efficiency Directive?

The directive defines an energy audit as:

“a systematic procedure with the purpose of obtaining adequateknowledge of the existing energyconsumption profile of a building or group of buildings, an industrial or commercial operation or installation or a private or public service, identifyingand quantifying cost-effective energysavings opportunities, and reportingthe findings“

5



Q2: What is an energy audit in terms of the Energy Efficiency Directive?

• Examination of companies energy consumption to identify

energy saving potentials

Entails the energy consumption of which the company is in

charge of:

Buildings

Processes

Transport

• The energy audit should be carried out no later than 5 December 2015, and the report should be sent to the Danish Energy Agency no later than 1 Marts 2016 (at [email protected]).

6



Q3: When is an energy audit required?

7

More than 250 employees globally

A turnover of more than 50 mill. euro OR a total asset of more than 43 mill.

euro

The company consumes more than 100.000 kWh/year in

Denmark

No energy management for

the entire company

(ISO50001)

No environmentalmanagement

where energy is included

(ISO14001)

The company is required to have an energy audit

Gray = EU and Green = Danmark.



Q4: Energy audit, energy management and

environment management?

• The requirements of the energy audit are lower than the

requirements of both energy management and environmentalmanagement.

8



Q5: When is the obligation already met?

9

Companies with an energy audit carried out between 4 December 2012 and 1 July 2014

The transportation obligation is met if the transport company has and Green certification from the Transport Authority.

Q6: Exemptions (in Denmark)? ?

10

Vessels less than 5000 gross register ton

Construction sitesFully Exempted



Q6: Exemptions (in Denmark)? (continued)

Partial exemptions:

Up to 10 pct. of the total energy consumption in the company in Denmark can

be excepted

Elements of the companies comprised by the BAT-conclusions, that are

related to energy efficiency.

The building part may be exempted, if it has a valid label of operation based

on a examination of the building.

11



Q7: What should an energy audit be based on?

Energy audits must be based on:

Updated, measured and traceable operational data on energy consumption

A loading profile for electricity

Lifecycle-cost-analyses when possible

12



Q7: What should an energy audit be based on?

(Continued)

In addition it must be:

A proportionate, sufficiently representative and credible picture of the entire energy use and energy savings potential

Data must be storable for historical analysis and tracking performance

Approved standards for energy audit (DS/EN 16247 1-4):

13



Q8: Who can carry out energy audits?

People including in-house experts, who perform energy audits should have:

Qualifications for energy consultants (DS/EN 16247-5) or should have obtain approval from the Danish Energy Agency ([email protected]).

In-depth knowledge of buildings, industrial processes, industrial plants or transport.

External experts should either be:

Employed in a company that is accredited by DANAK or a corresponding accreditation-organ.

Employed in a certified energy label company in trade and serviceand Educated energy label consultants.

14



Q9: Which options of support are there in connection to an energy audit in Denmark?

• The Danish version of the energy efficiency obligation schemes

Counselling or subsidy for the implementation of energy

savings from the energy companies.

• ”Renewable energy for processing industry”

In connection to the replacement of fossil energy in

production and for energy savings an investment subsidy is

given.
