Abstract(s)

The energy audit comes from a European law obligation but never as now it has become an instrument that transforms itself into capital saving opportunities for company and thus becomes directly a competitive advantage when considered with farsightedness and wisdom. The problem that afflicts most of the companies and common sense, is that there is no real sensibility to improving energy performance to preserve the environment. The only point where most companies (and people) focus on, is money, and not the safeguard of their environment, thinking that the two things are disconnected or at least too far apart. In reality, however, is the opposite, and not only the market is rewarding virtuous companies from the point of view of energy performance as they spend less than others on the energy side but they can avoid costs related to emissions and have the opportunity to sell their emission-quote, achieving double benefits. There has been a review of what and how an energy audit should be carried out and there is a very interesting example of an audit for a leading industry in its manufacturing sector: Petratex.
