ANNEX VI Minimum criteria for energy audits including those carried out as part of energy management systems
The energy audits referred to in Article 8 shall be based on the following guidelines:
(a)
be based on up-to-date, measured, traceable operational data on energy consumption and (for electricity) load profiles;
(b)
comprise a detailed review of the energy consumption profile of buildings or groups of buildings, industrial operations or installations, including transportation;
(c)
build, whenever possible, on life-cycle cost analysis (LCCA) instead of Simple Payback Periods (SPP) in order to take account of long-term savings, residual values of long-term investments and discount rates;
(d)
be proportionate, and sufficiently representative to permit the drawing of a reliable picture of overall energy performance and the reliable identification of the most significant opportunities for improvement.
Energy audits shall allow detailed and validated calculations for the proposed measures so as to provide clear information on potential savings.
The data used in energy audits shall be storable for historical analysis and tracking performance.
