Abstract
While conducting the energy audit, a systematic approach is required. In this approach steps like preliminary survey,
preparatory work, main audit/assessment, on-site and machine measurements, data collection, data validation, energy saving calculations and report preparation are the requirements. To do this an auditor must have a knowledge of textile engineering as well as processing. The past data analysis, energy balance, in-depth equipment inspection and heat utilization factor estimations are the key areas to be seen during the energy audit.
