3 1) Introduction Telemax Environmental and Energy Management Limited

4 What Are Energy Audits? An energy audit is a survey and analysis of energy consumptions for processes/systems, so that to reduce the amount of energy input into the processes/systems without negatively affecting the output(s). There are many types of energy audits that can be performed ranging from general 'walk-through audits' to more comprehensive 'process audits.

5 Inputs a) Energy: Electrical, Water, Town gas, Natural gas, LPG, other energy sources. b) Operation: Operation procedures, schedule equipment settings, control sequence.

6 Outputs (Indoor Environmental Qualities) a) Acoustics: sound level b) IAQ: CO 2, CO, radon, formaldehyde, etc c) Lighting output: Lux level, Glare d) Thermal Comfort: Temperature, RH, air movement

7 Objectives Assess the energy efficiency performance Assess the equipment conditions and system operation performance Review the indoor environmental quality Both the input side and output side should be considered Energy management measures BSE542 Energy Efficient Buildings

8 2) History of HK Energy Audit Telemax Environmental and Energy Management Limited

9 Enhancement of Energy Efficiency in Buildings Energy Consumption by Sectors in 2009 Hong Kong Energy End-use Data 2011 Total annual electricity consumption of HK in 2009: about 41.5 billion kwh (equivalent to the consumption by 9 millions of families annually) About 90% of the electricity consumed by buildings Enhancement of buildings energy efficiency will be an effective means to reduce energy consumption

10 The Hong Kong Energy Efficiency Registration Scheme for Buildings (HKEERSB) Launched since 1998 to promote the voluntary compliance with BEC to enhance building energy efficiency Up to Dec 2011, around 1,300 buildings have been registered Registered buildings included commercial, industrial and residential buildings Participation rate of the private sector is very low (only around 30% of the registered buildings)

11 Mandatory Implementation of Building Energy Code (BEC) As voluntary compliance with a higher energy efficiency standard appears not to be forthcoming in Hong Kong and amidst the growing environmental concerns, Government consider it an opportune time to pursue mandatory implantation of the BECs to accompany market In order to combat climate change, mandatory implementation of minimum energy efficiency standard in buildings by legislation has been widely adopted by overseas and Mainland China driven changes The mandatory BEC is formulated with the existing voluntary BEC 2007 Edition as the blueprint

12 Milestone of the Buildings Energy Efficiency Ordinance (BEEO) 21/03/2011 Registration of Registered Energy Assessors (REA) came into operation 11/ / / / / / / / / / / / / /12/2010 BEEO was gazetted 21/09/2012 BEEO will come into full operation

13 Structure of Legislative Framework Buildings Energy Efficiency Ordinance (BEEO) Buildings Energy Efficiency (Fees) Regulation Buildings Energy Efficiency (Registered Energy Assessors) Regulation Energy Audit Code (EAC) Building Energy Code (BEC) Code of Practice

14 Control Regimes 1) Newly constructed buildings will be required to comply with the minimum energy efficiency standards and requirements as specified in BEC under BEEO 2) Existing buildings will be required to comply with BEC only when major retrofitting works are carried out 3) Commercial buildings and commercial portions of composite buildings will be required to carry out energy audits in accordance with the technical requirements as specified in EAC under BEEO

15 Control Regimes (cont d) Different regulatory mechanisms for newly constructed building after the commencement of the legislation and existing building before the commencement of the legislation Newly constructed building after the commencement of the legislation Buildings having obtained the consent to the commencement of building works for superstructure construction from Building Authority after the legislation comes into full operation (i.e. 21 Sep 2012) Existing building before the commencement of the legislation Buildings that have obtained the consent on or before the legislation comes into full operation (i.e. 21 Sep 2012) *Remarks: The abov e two terms are for publicity purpose only and do not appear in BEEO.

16 Energy Audit Only applicable to central BS installations of commercial buildings and commercial portions of composite buildings The owner of a building is required to engage a REA to conduct Energy Audit every 10 years The owner is required to obtain an Energy Audit Form and an energy audit report from the REA The REA is required to submit a copy of Energy Audit Form and the energy audit report to EMSD for record The owner is required to exhibit the valid Energy Audit Form in a conspicuous position at the main entrance of the building

17 3) Energy Audit in Other Contraries Telemax Environmental and Energy Management Limited

18 Energy Audit in US The American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) refers to benchmarking as a preliminary energy use analysis; this process involves collecting facility energy data, reviewing energy bills, and comparing the facility's energy consumption with similarly-sized facilities using similar processes. EPA s Energy Star's Portfolio Manager is a free, on-line benchmarking tool. EPA recommends all facilities use Portfolio Manager or another benchmarking tool prior to completing a walk-through or detailed process audit.

19 Energy Audit in US ASHRAE Level 1 (Walk-through audits) - provide a first cut assessment of energy savings; - valuable to small utilities with simple production and distribution systems, and facilities that have never received an energy audit. - reliably include relatively simple and immediately affordable recommendations e.g. changes in operation timing and upgrades to lighting, heating, ventilating and air conditioning (HVAC), and pumping equipment. - a number of entitles have provided Do It Yourself guidance to assist facilities in conducting their own walk-through audits.

20 Energy Audit in US ASHRAE Level 2 (Detailed process audits ) - require a more in-depth conversation by professional auditors - experienced in water and wastewater systems - for mid-size and large facilities that lack in-house time to investigate energy efficiency opportunities, and that have not recently received an energy audit - involve equipment field tests, equipment energy performance data, creating energy profiles for equipment and systems, discussing potential O&M changes, and evaluating potential energy efficiency and renewable energy projects. - provide comprehensive information on the pay-back periods associated with the recommended measures.

21 3) Energy Audit Code (EAC) Code of Practice for Building Energy Audit Telemax Environmental and Energy Management Limited
