China Energy Audits
By John Herbert | Director
Kelcroft headquartered in Hong Kong, China conducts energy audits
that lowering your operating costs without sacrificing occupational
comfort. Audits undertaken range from the smallest energy assessments
to major projects in commercial, and industrial and healthcare sectors.
Surveys indicate that seventy five percent (75%) of buildings are
operating incorrectly, have inappropriate operating and maintenance
contracts, or are wasting money through inefficient energy usage.
Energy costs are rising every year, tariff increases threatened, and oil prices
are soaring, all effecting your bottom line - Kelcroft helps reduce your energy
bills, lowering costs, and that helps improving your competitiveness in the
marketplace.
China Energy Audit
A Kelcroft energy audit begins with the collection and analysis of all information that impacts the energy consumption of the building.
We analyze the data and performance of your existing systems, the installation, the existing management
techniques and utility bills.
We compare your facilities energy performance with published standards
for your premises and activities of a similar nature and provide proposals.

Reporting
A Kelcroft energy audit report contains our findings, and is sub-divided into three energy management sections, namely:
Within these three sections, we explain energy saving options and opportunities for your managers to implement, as follows:
Housekeeping
Housekeeping measures are improvements involving virtually no cost, and involve relatively simple steps to start achieving energy savings. For example training courses to increase energy consumption awareness amongst your staff, or as part of a staff induction programme.
Operation measures
These improvements necessitate some change within your existing regime or
maintenance strategy.
For example lighting modifications, improved the switching arrangement or
implementing a new lamp replacement strategy to benefit from the efficacy of
the latest technology.
In the majority of cases, the working environment for your customers and
employees is improved.
Capital works
Capital works are major improvements to your premises that will require
significant expenditure.
Examining your installation, analyzing your operating and maintenance costs, and
evaluating possible options for energy conservation. Viable proposals that will
benefit you financially are offered for appraisal. For example,
switching to water
cooled air conditioning (cooling towers) under the pilot programme.
The energy analysis would comprise a practical and economic evaluation of energy
saving options. This evaluation would include an investigation of all the
various elements that contribute to your owning and operating costs.
Typically these would comprise:
- Initial expenditure - capital required to purchase the plant or equipment
- Cost in use - the calculated running costs for the installation based on the data retrieved during the survey
- Investment analysis - payback and net present value calculations, which are tools to establish if a proposal would recoup your investment during a specific period).
An economic analysis examines alternatives, gauging the overall viability of a particular energy-saving strategy.
