Energy auditor

Vets | EnE is tasked to organize Energy auditor training courses by the Ministry of Industry and Trade (Vietnam) under Law No. 50/2010/QH12 – Law on Energy Efficiency and Conservation Use of Energy.

9 September, 2021

Based on the Law on Economical and Efficient Use of Energy, Circular No. 39/2011/TT-BCT and Decision No. 11860/QD-BCĐ, the Energy Saving Office – Ministry of Industry and Trade, in coordination with Vietnam Technology Solutions Joint Stock Company (VETS), organizes training courses for Energy Auditors for businesses and energy saving consulting units.

Who are energy auditors?

In a context where optimizing operating costs and improving energy efficiency have become priorities for many businesses, energy audits play a crucial role in identifying waste, assessing the current situation, and seeking opportunities for energy savings.

Energy auditors are professionals who  conduct surveys, measurements, analyses, and assessments of energy usage at production facilities, construction sites, or buildings. Based on the collected data, auditors identify areas of high energy consumption, evaluate equipment efficiency, and propose appropriate improvement solutions.

Auditing activities help analyze and evaluate consumption levels, propose measures for efficient and economical use, and aim to optimize energy utilization.

To perform this work effectively, auditors need to have a thorough understanding of legal regulations, audit procedures, energy-saving technologies, and methods for evaluating the technical and financial effectiveness of solutions.

The role of energy auditors in businesses.

Energy auditors play a crucial role in assessing the current state of energy use, identifying opportunities for savings, and proposing solutions to improve operational efficiency within businesses. Particularly for industrial production facilities, this team contributes to controlling energy costs, optimizing equipment performance, and supporting the achievement of sustainable development goals. Specifically:

  • Assessing the current state of energy use: Surveying, measuring, and quantifying the energy consumption of systems such as lighting, boilers, air conditioning, motors, and production lines.
  • Identify potential savings: Discover energy losses and waste points in operations and production processes.
  • Proposing technical and financial solutions: Providing energy optimization measures along with economic efficiency analysis (such as NPV and IRR indices) to facilitate investment by businesses.
  • Legal compliance support: Assisting key energy-consuming facilities in complying with State regulations on periodic energy audits (every 3 years according to Decree 21/2011/ND-CP) and completing reports for submission to management agencies.
  • Promoting sustainable development: Contributing to reducing production costs for businesses, decreasing greenhouse gas emissions, and building the image of a “Green Business”.

Energy auditors assess the current state of energy use, identify opportunities for savings, and propose solutions to improve operational efficiency within a business.
