Energy audit
Why carry out an energy audit?
An energy audit is an effective way to optimise energy consumption and reduce operating costs. Thanks to a detailed analysis, it is possible to identify areas where energy losses occur and then implement solutions to increase efficiency. This is not only a financial benefit, but also a real opportunity to improve the comfort of the building and reduce its impact on the environment.
By opting for an audit, opportunities for upgrading heating, ventilation and lighting systems can be uncovered, allowing for better use of available resources. Many companies and institutions use the audit as a key element of their savings strategy, as the results enable effective planning of investments in energy-efficient technologies. In addition, audits are sometimes required when applying for subsidies for thermomodernisation or renewable energy sources.
Carrying out an energy audit is not only a way to reduce costs, but also a step towards sustainability. Reducing energy consumption means lower carbon emissions, which has a positive impact on the environment. In addition, upgrading installations can improve the safety of building occupants and provide better control over operating conditions. It is worth remembering that in some cases, an audit is also a legal requirement, especially for large companies that have to meet certain energy efficiency standards.
First step towards reducing the energy intensity of a building
An energy audit is the first step to improving the energy efficiency of your home. It identifies energy losses and shows you specific ways to reduce them. Find out why it is worth carrying out one!
Identification of areas of heat loss
We use modern technology to analyse and detect where uncontrolled heat loss is occurring, helping to improve the energy efficiency of buildings.
Optimisation of energy consumption
With intelligent solutions, we adapt energy consumption to actual needs, reducing costs and increasing efficiency.
Long-term savings
Our measures lead to a sustainable reduction in operating costs, providing savings in both the short and long term.
Steps in conducting an energy audit
Consultation and definition of the purpose of the audit
We start by talking to the client to find out their needs and expectations of the audit. We determine the scope of the analysis, whether it should cover the entire building, heating systems, ventilation, lighting or other installations.
Site visit and measurements
During the site visit, a detailed inspection of the building and installations is carried out to assess their actual condition and identify sources of energy loss. The insulation of walls, roof, foundations and the tightness of windows and doors are checked, as well as the efficiency of heating, ventilation and lighting systems. Specialised tools are used, such as thermal imaging cameras to detect thermal bridges, energy consumption meters and devices to assess the efficiency of ventilation systems. Analysis of the measurements makes it possible to identify areas in need of upgrading and identify the most effective ways to improve energy efficiency. Based on the data collected, a preliminary report is produced with initial recommendations to help plan further action. This stage is key to developing effective solutions that will make real savings and improve the comfort of the building.
Analysis of the technical documentation of the facility
Analysis of the technical documentation of the building - a detailed study of the building plans, installation diagrams and energy consumption data, which allows a preliminary assessment of the building's energy efficiency. A review of the energy bills, the technical characteristics of the building materials and the performance of the heating, ventilation and electrical systems allows potential areas of loss and inefficiency to be identified.
Identification of problems and areas of energy loss
Identifying problems and areas of energy loss involves a detailed analysis of data collected during site visits and measurements to determine where the greatest energy inefficiencies are. Thermal bridges, leaks in insulation, excessive energy consumption by heating, ventilation and lighting systems and potential losses due to sub-optimal building operation are investigated. Based on this information, retrofit recommendations are made to increase energy efficiency and reduce operating costs.
Preparation of the audit report
The audit report includes a detailed summary of the results of the energy analysis of the building, together with identification of the main areas of energy loss. It includes an assessment of the efficiency of individual systems such as heating, ventilation, lighting and thermal insulation, as well as proposals for upgrades tailored to the specifics of the building. The report also includes savings calculations for implementing the recommended measures, as well as estimated implementation costs and possible payback time. This document is a key tool for making decisions on energy efficiency improvements and can be the basis for applying for funding for planned upgrades.
Recommendations and support in implementing changes
Finally, we make recommendations to the client and suggest the most cost-effective solutions. We can also assist in obtaining funding for thermomodernisation and in the selection of suitable contractors for modernisation work.
Why carry out an energy audit?
Carrying out an energy audit allows a thorough analysis of a building's energy consumption and the identification of areas of heat loss and inefficient use of resources. Thanks to the audit, it is possible to obtain specific recommendations for modernisation that will contribute to lowering energy bills, improving thermal comfort and increasing the efficiency of heating, ventilation and lighting systems. In addition, the implementation of the indicated solutions can facilitate obtaining funding for thermomodernisation and contribute to reducing the negative impact of the building on the environment. This is an investment that not only generates savings, but also increases the value of the property and ensures greater energy independence.
Thermo-modernisation of a building - what does it consist of?
Poor insulation of the building envelope, leaky windows and a faulty heating system result in excessive heat loss, which generates high utility costs. To reduce heating costs, it is worth investing in thermo-modernisation.
Carrying out thermo-modernisation aims to reduce electricity and heat consumption. Thermo-modernisation of a house is a series of measures which include:
- insulating the house - applying a layer with high insulation properties to the external walls and roof,
- replacing windows/doorways with more airtight and energy-efficient ones,
- using renewable energy sources to meet their own energy needs,
- Upgrading the internal electrical installation and lighting system to improve energy efficiency,
- modernisation of the internal central heating and hot water installation,
- the construction of own micro-installations for energy production, such as photovoltaic panels, heat pumps and solar collectors, enabling greater energy independence.
