Energy Audit Services in India – Reduce Energy Costs by 10–30%
Our BEE Certified Energy Auditor (EA-1192) conducts detailed motor audits, pump audits, SEC calculations, and PAT Scheme assessments as part of every comprehensive audit — covering compressed air leak detection, thermal systems, and power quality to uncover every unit of avoidable waste.
Is an Energy Audit Mandatory for Your Facility?
Under the Energy Conservation Act 2001, energy audits are not optional for many Indian industries. Understanding your legal obligations can help you avoid penalties and plan proactively.
📜 EC Act 2001 – Designated Consumers
Industries in sectors such as cement, steel, aluminium, textile, fertilisers, paper, and chlor-alkali are classified as Designated Consumers (DCs) and must conduct mandatory energy audits through BEE-certified auditors.
🏭 PAT Scheme – SEC Reduction Targets
Under the Perform, Achieve and Trade (PAT) Scheme, designated consumers must reduce their Specific Energy Consumption (SEC) by prescribed targets each cycle — with trading of Energy Saving Certificates (ESCerts) for over-achievers.
🏗️ ECBC – Commercial Buildings
The Energy Conservation Building Code (ECBC) mandates energy performance standards for commercial buildings above a defined connected load. Compliance audits are required during design, construction, and operation stages.
⚠️ Penalties for Non-Compliance
Failure to comply with BEE energy audit requirements and SEC targets under the EC Act can attract significant financial penalties. A timely, certified audit protects you from regulatory risk.
✅ BEE Certified Auditor Requirement
Reports submitted to BEE and regulatory authorities must be signed by a BEE Certified Energy Auditor. Elion's lead auditor holds EA-1192 — verifiable directly with BEE — ensuring your report has full legal validity.
🌿 ESG & ISO 50001 Obligations
Beyond statutory compliance, investors, lenders, and global supply chains increasingly require ISO 50001 certification and credible ESG energy disclosures — both of which are supported by our audit reports.
Two recent audits demonstrate the breadth of our expertise — from energy-intensive process industries to pharma GMP environments with strict operational constraints.
Surat Textile Mill: A comprehensive audit covering motors, compressors, HVAC, and steam systems identified 23% avoidable energy consumption. After implementation, the facility achieved ₹14.2L annual savings with full PAT Scheme compliance and improved SEC.
