An energy audit is a crucial step towards optimising your energy consumption whilst reducing costs. By analysing and assessing your current energy consumption, it is possible to identify areas of inefficiency that are currently leading to excessive costs. With a thorough energy audit of your production facilities, you can take steps to reduce your energy consumption sustainably, improve energy efficiency and thereby achieve long-term savings.
Surface treatment plants, such as electroplating plants, anodising plants, cleaning plants, passivation plants, as well as paint shops and powder coating plants, KTL systems and the associated fresh water and waste water systems are, for the most part, highly energy-intensive installations, for which an energy audit is an ideal means of identifying potential savings.
An energy audit involves a number of steps designed to provide a comprehensive overview of your system’s energy consumption:
01
The first step involves collecting and analysing your energy consumption data. This includes data on electricity, gas and water consumption, as well as other relevant parameters such as room temperature, lighting and ventilation. Analysing this data enables patterns and consumption peaks to be identified.
02
To ensure an accurate assessment, our experts carry out an on-site inspection. This involves checking all relevant energy-consuming equipment, such as plant engineering and its peripheral devices, as well as ancillary systems such as process heating and cooling systems, exhaust air systems and lighting. This helps to identify opportunities to reduce your energy consumption.
03
Following data collection and an on-site inspection, the information gathered is analysed and areas for improvement are identified. These may include, for example, inefficient units or plant components, but may also relate to operating modes and parameters of the plant technology. The analysis is carried out on the basis of the state of the art and industry-specific benchmarks.
04
Based on the results of the assessment, a bespoke action plan is drawn up. This contains specific recommendations for optimising your energy consumption, such as replacing outdated equipment, introducing sensor technology to control electrical loads, or implementing control system measures. The action plan outlines the areas for improvement, taking into account the potential savings for your system, the necessary investment and the feasibility of implementation.
05
Once the action plan has been drawn up, the recommended measures can be implemented. This can be done independently or with the support of our project engineers. It is important to monitor energy consumption before and after implementation in order to assess the effectiveness of the measures and make further adjustments where necessary.

A regular energy audit offers numerous benefits for your business and your energy-intensive plant and equipment, such as electroplating plants, anodising plants, cleaning plants, passivation plants, as well as paint shops, powder coating plants, KTL plants and the associated fresh water and waste water systems:
By identifying and eliminating unnecessarily high energy consumption in your business and in your facilities, you can achieve significant cost savings. Efficient systems and the conscious use of energy lead to a reduction in energy costs and long-term savings.
Efficient energy use also has a positive impact on the environment. Reducing energy consumption helps to cut greenhouse gas emissions and other environmentally harmful emissions. An energy audit enables you to reduce your carbon footprint and helps you on your journey towards carbon neutrality.
In some sectors and countries, certain energy efficiency standards are required by law. A regular energy audit ensures that your system complies with the legal requirements and helps you avoid potential fines or penalties.
An energy audit therefore not only enables you to make cost savings, but also strengthens your company’s image as an environmentally conscious and responsible organisation. By contributing to the global environmental agenda, you are doing your bit to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and promote a more sustainable future.
