What is an audit?
An energy audit is usually one of the first steps in an energy management programme. It shows how efficiently energy is being used and highlights opportunities for energy cost savings. It can also show ways to improve productivity. Energy audits take a thorough look at particular facilities, processes or technologies. |

Who should do audits?
Auditors must be accredited by the Energy Management Association of New Zealand (EMANZ) or a similar recognised body. Auditors not yet accredited may be used if they are submitting the audit as a step towards accreditation. The EMA must review the audit to ensure it meets the standard required.
