Energy Audit for buildings in Dubai

Energy audit is a way of checking how the energy is used and identify areas where wastage can be minimized if not totally eradicated. Energy audit consists of tasks which can be carried out depending on the type of audit and the function of audited facility. It starts with review the historical data of energy consumption taken from the electricity bills. The energy data is important in order to understand the patterns of energy used and their trend. Once obtaining the information on energy consumption, the next step is to set up an energy audit program. GE3S is a well-known energy auditor in Dubai and has conducted several energy audits in the region.  GE3S also runs an academy which provides training on LEED Green Associate Exam Preparation.

The energy audit shall start with site survey in order to obtain information on present energy use. The major energy utilization such as running hours of air-conditioning, lighting levels, locations of unnecessary air-conditioning and lighting due to unoccupied areas, temperature and humidity, chillers/pump scheduling and setting, efficiencies of equipment’s and machine and the areas of high energy consumption and the possibility to reduce consumption shall be recorded for further analysis. Our professionals who have passed leed green associate exam are experts in conducting energy audits.

The preliminary audit is called a simple audit, screening audit or walk-through audit is the simplest and quickest type of audit.Preliminary audit consists of a walk-through inspection of a facility to identify maintenance, equipment issues and to identify areas that need further evaluation. GE3S Energy Auditors and leed green associate exam candidates identify opportunities to reduce the energy use of a building or industries.

Detailed energy is also called comprehensive audit or investment grader audit. It expands on the general energy audit. Detailed Energy Audit covers the estimation of energy input for different processes, collection of past data on production levels and specific energy consumption. Detailed Audit identifies energy use and losses through a more detailed review and analysis of equipment, systems, operational conditions, and equipment measurements and testing. A detailed financial analysis performed for each measure based on investment cost estimates and operating cost savings. As a leading Energy Auditor, GE3S has helped several clients in reducing Energy Costs. Our candidates who have been successful in leed green associate exam are recruited further to conduct energy audit of buildings.

This analysis focuses on the potential capital-intensive projects identified in the Level 2 analysis and involves more detailed field data gathering. It provides detailed project cost and savings calculations required for major capital investment decisions.  The general audit alternatively called a mini-audit; site energy audit or complete site energy audit expands on the preliminary audit described above by collecting more detailed information about facility operation and performing a more detailed evaluation of energy measures identified.  As part of preparation for leed green associate exam and for better understanding of buildings, we help our candidates in getting hands-on experience on energy audit for buildings.
