Context and Overview

A detailed energy audit of the building must be performed to determine the true potential of savings and ensure sustainable results. An energy audit is defined by the European Efficiency Directive as a systematic procedure with the aim of obtaining sufficient information on the current state of energy consumption of a building or a group of buildings to identify and quantify cost-effective energy saving options, including a report on the relevant equipment. It includes an inspection of the building, analysis and evaluation of the existing condition of the building and the proposal of various measures, the implementation of which would reduce energy consumption and improve the internal climate of the building. It presents an important tool in current efforts to significantly reduce the energy consumption of existing buildings. The aim of the MC is to clarify the differences between energy certification and energy auditing of buildings and to provide information on who can perform it, how to do it and when an energy audit is mandatory.


Learning Objectives

On the completion of the micro-credential, participants will be able to:

  • Understand the purpose and importance of energy audits in identifying potential energy savings and achieving sustainable results in buildings.
  • Gain knowledge of the European Efficiency Directive’s definition and requirements for conducting systematic energy audits.
  • Learn the key steps involved in performing an energy audit, including building inspection, condition analysis, and evaluation of energy consumption.
  • Develop skills in identifying and quantifying cost-effective energy-saving options for both individual buildings and groups of buildings.
  • Develop proposals for implementing energy-saving measures to reduce overall energy consumption and improve indoor environmental quality.
