Contents of Energy Audits

The energy audits developed in the EURONET 50/50 project have some specific characteristics that make them different from a standard energy audit. Some of them are as follows:

• They have to be technically rigorous but easily understandable for the energy team (pupils and educational staff).
• It has to include a description of the building in a way that the energy team could understand it and work with it. It can be the reference to develop the energy tours.
• It has to give special attention to the management and the operation of the centre, without forgetting the building description and the consumption points.
• It has to be useful to calculate the reference year for the economic transfer of the 50% of the savings achieved to the school (partners can make these calculation).
• It should allow later on to undertake the energy follow-up of the school, showing the consumption data in a comprehensible way. 
• The energy audit will name the biggest problems concerning the state of the building but it has to focus also on actions with a low investment and mostly those related with the implementation of good practices (it should be a guide or an inspiration for the energy team).
