Module 11 of the EET Skills Programme is dedicated to providing learners with a comprehensive understanding of energy audits. This knowledge module equips participants with the essential skills to conduct energy audits effectively and ensures alignment with internationally recognized standards, such as ISO 50002 and ASHRAE Standard.

What You Will Learn

• Define what an energy audit is and explain its purpose.
• Explore what an energy audit entails in various contexts.
• Learn the systematic approach to conducting energy audits.
• Break down each phase of the audit process, from preliminary steps to detailed analysis.
• Discuss the three levels of energy audits based on ASHRAE Standard 211.
• Examine how the ISO 50002 standard parallels ASHRAE’s methodology while offering a practical, less statutory approach suitable for regulatory adoption.
• Explore the structure and elements of ISO 50002.
• Understand how it aligns with international best practices and facilitates adoption into regulatory codes.
