An Energy Audit (or Survey) evaluates and determine where and how energy is being lost, what systems are operating inefficiently and what cost-effective improvements can be implemented to reduce energy consumption and save money.
An Energy Audit provides a good opportunity to look at a ship energy use and see where savings can be made.
Tecnoveritas has devised a methodical energy audit that presents the customers with hard, compelling facts about the energy they can save.
An energy audit carried out by Tecnoveritas aims to achieve the following benefits:
- Reduction of energy usage
- Cost savings
- Energy efficiency
Tecnoveritas, has been involved in research and development programmes on ship energy optimisation making available techniques to access Key Performance Indicators that are used to optimise your fleet in terms of energy consumption.
Tecnoveritas surveyors work during a first phase (on board energy audit) in close cooperation with the ship crew during the, and with the ship management team during the second phase (implementation of energy saving measures).
In this way Tecnoveritas offer a range of ship energy services that can be customised accordingly to your needs.
Techniques used during the Energy Audit include:
- Phase 1: Holistic investigation encompassing technical and non technical aspects of ships operation, involving data acquisition and analysis combined with shipboard audit.
- Phase 2: Identification of energy savings opportunities. The identification of these opportunities is accompanied by technical and economical calculations, to access the investment return of each energy saving measure.
- Phase 3: Production of a report with the found energy saving opportunities their investment and rate of return.
Once the energy saving measures proposed are approved by the management, an Energy Rationalisation Plan is produced. This plan will work as a reference document for the implementation of the accepted energy saving measures, as well as to monitor the energy savings achieved on a time basis.
