Energy efficiency is the need of the hour to tackle climate change

Energy loss in any industrial process or building is inevitable; it is a foregone conclusion. However, its economic and environmental impacts are not to be taken lightly, thus explaining the growing need for energy efficiency. Put simply, the level of energy efficiency a plant or building can achieve is inversely proportionate to the energy loss that occurs; the higher the loss, the lower the efficiency. GE3S Energy Auditors identify opportunities to reduce the energy use of a building or industries. LEED GA and LEED AP professionals are well versed with energy optimization strategies in buildings.

Energy Audit is a regular examination of an energy system to ensure that energy is being used as efficient as possible. Depending on the level of detail on the collected information, energy audits might be distinguished into two types, the walkthrough, and the extended audits.  GE3S is a trusted name in the Middle East for providing Energy Auditor Services. We are pioneering Energy Auditor Services Company in the Middle East and Asia, and also provide LEED GA and LEED AP training services.

The energy shall start with site survey in order to obtain information on present energy used. 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 energy hot spots and the chances of reduce consumption shall be listed down for further analysis. The LEED GA and LEED AP professionals trained by us are provided with the basic understanding of Energy audits.

Walk-through energy audits assess site energy consumption and relevant costs based on energy bills-invoices and a short on-site autopsy. Minimum capital investment or no investment energy saving options of immediate energy cost savings are determined and a list of other energy saving opportunities involving considerable capital are proposed on a cost benefit basis.  As a leading Energy Auditor, GE3S have helped several clients in reducing their Energy Costs. Walk through energy audit is one of the basic requirements of LEED Existing building certification and as a LEED AP and LEED GA our team is aware of all the requirements related to energy audits.

Detailed diagnostic energy audits require a more detailed recording and analysis of energy and other site data. The energy consumption is disaggregated in different end-uses (e.g. heating, cooling, different processes, lighting, etc.) and the different factors that affect that end-use are presented and analyzed. The overall cost and benefits for the energy-saving opportunities that meet the criteria and requirements of the end-energy use are determined. A potential list of energy investments having greater costs requires more detailed data acquisition and processing.  GE3S Energy Auditors identify opportunities to reduce the energy use of a building or industries. Our LEED GA and LEED AP professionals have undertaken several energy audits in the region.
