Finland - a pioneering country in the field of energy audits and analyses
Thru measures based on energy analyses in the industry, can energy consumption be reduced by 4 TWh annually. The figure corresponds to the annual energy consumption of approx. 200,000 single-family houses.
The aim of energy audits and analyses is to investigate the present situation and saving potentials in energy consumption. They are tools for real estate maintenance, energy efficiency-improvement and the environmental management system in the industrial and service sectors. The energy audit models developed for objects of different types guide the clients to purchase energy in a sensible manner and to economize on its use. The measures proposed in the audit report, together with the cost and savings calculations, create a good basis for permanent savings and continued activities.
It has been estimated that the measures based on the industrial energy analyses supported by the Ministry of Trade and Industry reduce energy consumption by 4 TWh annually. The figure corresponds to the annual energy consumption of approx. 200,000 single-family houses. Finland is one of the leading countries in the world in the development and productification of audit methods and in the monitoring of their effects. As an indication of this, an international energy audit conference, Audit 06, will be arranged in Finland in autumn 2006 – during the next Finnish presidency of the EU.
