INTRODUCTION
Since April 2023, the DDADUE law has introduced new regulatory thresholds for the obligation to audit your site.
The energy audit formulates a set of recommendations based on issues identified through measurements taken at your site. It should be repeated every four years in order to assess changes in your company's energy consumption and encourage you to take steps to improve your energy performance.
The advantages of this practice are as follows:
identifying the most energy-intensive positions in the company;
changes in customs and practices within the company;
substantial energy savings;
improving energy efficiency;
reducing greenhouse gas emissions;
proud to be among socially responsible companies.
This practical guide will enable you to carry out the following actions in chronological order:
collection of data on the buildings and facilities at your site;
visit to the physical perimeter to be assessed;
recommendations for improvements;
work plan and financing.
