Description
Summary:The paper presents results of the energy audit for seven public organizations. Audits were performed in 2013 by the staff of the Institute of Power Engineering of the ASM. The staff is authorized in the field of electricity and thermal energy. Four energy audits were for energy efficiency in buildings; two energy audits were for efficient public lighting system and one for efficient lighting system within the organization. For each organization were highlighted major problems which lead to increased energy consumption and proposed several measures that help reduce energy consumption and reduce CO2 emissions. Also describes methods for the measurements and the equipment used. It presents characteristic problems typified by object class and how to overcome them. Energy consumption is determined for both - baseline energy consumption and after implementing the proposed measures. Also, the necessary investments, the results obtained after investments and the payback periods for each proposed measures as well as a whole are presented.
