Company Energy Audits

Obligatory Company Energy Audit (EED) is carried out in accordance with the Energy Efficiency Act according to the methodology contained in the PN- EN 16247 standard. Company Energy Audit provides a detailed overview of the energy consumption of buildings or building complexes, industrial installations and transport, which together account for at least 90% of the company ‘s total energy consumption.

The purpose of the Company’s Energy audit is:

• Fulfillment of the legal obligation to perform an audit every 4 years
  and informing the URE about the results of the audit;
• Obtaining information on the amount of energy consumption and areas of energy use
  in the company;
• Identification of possible energy savings;
• Indication of areas for improving the energy effciency of the organization;

When it concerns:

• Every large entrepreneur within the meaning of the Entrepreneurs Act,
  with the exception of micro, small or medium-sized entrepreneurs – after checking the financial and employment criteria for the last two financial years, every large entrepreneur must conduct an energy audit of the enterprise every 4 years;
• Any new entrepreneur who will meet the criteria described above;
• If your company wants to achieve savings in energy consumption;

Procedure of the EDD Audit:

	Audit planning, data collection and field work.
	Detailed analysis of energy consumption, study of technological processes and auxiliary installations, analysis of buildings and transport in terms of energy savings along with the identification of areas of significant losses.

• There is heavy penalty for not performing the audit. Pursuant to the provisions of the Energy Efficiency Act, the fine may amount to 5% of the turnover achieved by the entrepreneur in the previous tax year.
• When you will be released from the obligation to conduct an energy audit of the company:
  • if you do not want to carry out energy audits of the company every 4 years, we can help you implement an energy management system compliant with ISO 50001 standard
  • or we can help you implement the EMAS environmental management system (Article 2 pt. 13 of Regulation (EC) No. 1221/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 25 November 2009)

In both of th above cases, the condition for compliance with the law is to conduct an energy audit of the company under ISO 50001 or EMAS and to notify the Chairman of the Energy Regulatory Office (ERA) about the results in the field of energy efficiency.
