ENERGY AUDIT
An energy audit is an inspection survey an analysis of energy flows, for energy conservation in a building, process or system to reduce the amount
of energy input into the system without negatively affecting the output(s). In residential, commercial and industrial real estate, an energy audit is
the first step in identifying opportunities to reduce energy expense and carbon footprints.
Deliverables
• Recommended changes to existing operations and procedures to save
energy and costs.
• Capital investments that will improve efficiency – together with the
estimated time to generate a return.
• Available incentives or rebates that offset investment costs.
• Longer-term opportunities for improvements through renovations or
upgrades.
• The Premises current energy performance rating and potential steps to
improve it.
• Review and analysis of provision of renewable energy in the system
• Energy Consumption per equipment – Calculation of efficiency

Electrostatic Audit
Scope
• Electrostatic discharge (ESD) is the sudden flow of electricity between two electrically charged objects caused by contact,
an electrical short, or dielectric breakdown. A buildup of static electricity can be caused by tribo charging or by electrostatic
induction. The ESD occurs when differently-charged objects are brought close together or when the dielectric between
them breaks down, often creating a visible spark.
• ESD can create spectacular electric sparks (lightning, with the accompanying sound of thunder, is a large-scale ESD event),
but also less dramatic forms which may be neither seen nor heard, yet still be large enough to cause damage to sensitive
electronic devices. Electric sparks require a field strength above approximately 40 kV/cm in air, as notably occurs in
lightning strikes. Other forms of ESD include corona discharge from sharp electrodes and brush discharge from blunt
electrodes.
• ESD can cause a range of harmful effects of importance in industry, including gas, fuel vapour and coal dust explosions, as
well as failure of solid state electronics components such as integrated circuits. These can suffer permanent damage when
subjected to high voltages. Places with high Electronics use therefore establish electrostatic protective areas free of static,
using measures to prevent charging, such as avoiding highly charging materials and measures to remove static such as
grounding human workers, providing antistatic devices, and controlling humidity.
Audit Process
• Through Study and inspection of the effected place
• ESD test to measure static voltages on objects & surfaces
i. Magnitude ((Kilovolts)
ii. Polarity
• Analysis of the ESD
• Finding the exact solution
