Energy Audit Fundamentals

Energy costs are one of the few operating expenses where a competent afternoon of investigation regularly finds double-digit savings, and yet most facilities have never been audited properly. This day teaches the method: what to measure, where the load actually goes, which opportunities repay quickly and which have long been oversold, and how to write the finding up so that a finance director funds it rather than files it.

Programme Agenda

Audit Levels and Scoping

Walk-through, detailed and investment-grade audits, and matching the level to the decision being made. Scoping an audit so it finishes rather than sprawling across the whole site.

Reading the Bill and the Tariff

Malaysian commercial and industrial tariff structures, maximum demand charges, power factor penalties, and off-peak arrangements. Savings available from tariff optimisation before touching a single piece of equipment.

Data Collection and Metering

Portable and permanent metering, logging intervals, and what a month of half-hourly data reveals that a monthly bill hides. Working out a load profile and identifying base load that should not exist.

Where the Energy Goes

Building an energy balance across HVAC, lighting, compressed air, motors, process heat and IT load. Estimation methods where metering is not available, and how much error that introduces.

HVAC and Building Envelope

Chiller efficiency, set points, scheduling, ventilation rates, and the envelope issues that make the plant work harder. The controls changes that cost nothing and the retrofits that do not.

Compressed Air, Motors and Lighting

Leak surveys and what a leak actually costs per year, pressure set points, motor sizing and variable speed drives, and lighting retrofits with the payback maths done honestly.

Ranking by Payback and Building the Case

Simple payback, life cycle cost and internal rate of return, and which one your finance function actually uses. Ranking measures, bundling short and long payback items, and handling the measurement and verification question.

The Audit Report

Structure, the executive summary that gets read, presenting assumptions and uncertainty honestly, and the recommendation format that leads to a funded project rather than a shelved document.

Frequently Asked Questions

Facility and maintenance managers, plant engineers, energy managers, sustainability staff, and finance managers who assess energy investment proposals. Building owners and property managers also attend.

It helps but is not required. The calculations are arithmetic and are worked through step by step. Facility and finance participants without engineering training follow the material comfortably.

It is referenced as the management system that turns a one-off audit into an ongoing programme, and is covered properly in the ISO 50001 Energy Management programme. Organisations frequently take the audit day first.

For in-house delivery, a supervised walk-through of your own site is normally included, and it usually produces two or three findings worth acting on. A full audit is a separate engagement.

Yes, this programme is HRD Corp SBL-KHAS claimable. Our team can assist your HR department with the documentation required for the grant application.

Yes. Any programme can be booked as a team day. Everyone works the same brief together, so your people come away having built something and knowing each other better.

If you are claiming under HRD Corp, the session has to fall at least 14 days after your HRD Corp approval. If you are not claiming, the date is flexible and we work around your calendar.

Put them on the self-paced e-learning instead. Your team works through the modules on our LMS in their own time, sits the assessment, and earns the same certificate, so nobody has to clear a full day together.
