Energy resources constitute a significant portion of operating expenses for any enterprise—from small production facilities to large industrial complexes. Meanwhile, most companies don’t even realize how much energy they lose due to inefficient equipment, outdated technologies, or improperly organized processes.
Energy audit (energy survey) is a professional analysis of energy resource usage efficiency that allows you to identify hidden losses, find reserves for savings, and develop specific measures to reduce costs. According to energy audit results, enterprises typically reduce expenses for electricity, heating, and water by 20-35% in the first year alone.
Deka Group has been conducting comprehensive energy audits of enterprises since 2010. We have surveyed more than 150 facilities in Kyrgyzstan and CIS countries, helping our clients save millions of soms annually.
What is an Energy Audit and Why Do You Need It?
Energy audit (energy survey) is a systematic analysis of energy resource consumption at an enterprise with the aim of:
- Determining the actual volume and structure of energy consumption
- Identifying losses and inefficient energy use
- Developing economically substantiated energy-saving measures
- Preparing an enterprise energy passport
- Creating a technical report with recommendations
An energy audit is necessary if you want to:
- Reduce costs for electricity, heating, and hot water supply
- Increase competitiveness by reducing product costs
- Comply with legislative requirements (for certain categories of enterprises)
- Modernize production with the implementation of energy-efficient technologies
- Obtain accurate data for management decision-making
Which Enterprises Need an Energy Audit?
Energy auditing is useful for organizations of any scale and sector:
🏭 Industrial Enterprises
Factories, plants, production workshops with high energy consumption. Here, the savings potential can reach 30-40%.
🏢 Trade and Office Centers
Business centers, shopping complexes, supermarkets with air conditioning and lighting systems.
Healthcare Facilities
Hospitals, clinics, diagnostic centers with round-the-clock energy consumption.
🏨 Hotels and Restaurants
Facilities with constant consumption of hot water, heating, and air conditioning.
🏫 Educational Institutions
Schools, universities, kindergartens with large areas and seasonal heating.
🏘️ Residential Apartment Buildings
Homeowners associations for optimizing common energy expenses.
How Does Energy Audit Work at Deka Group?
We conduct comprehensive energy auditing in several stages:
📋 Stage 1: Preliminary Analysis
We study the enterprise structure, analyze energy bills for the last 12-24 months, and identify main energy consumers. At this stage, we already see general trends and “bottlenecks.”
🔍 Stage 2: Instrumental Survey
Our specialists visit the site with professional equipment:
- Thermal imagers to detect heat losses
- Power quality analyzers
- Flow meters and counters
- Lux meters for measuring illumination
- Instruments for measuring microclimate parameters
We take real-time measurements, record equipment readings, and assess the condition of engineering systems.
📊 Stage 3: Data Analysis and Calculations
We process the obtained data, compare actual consumption with normative indicators, identify deviations and losses. We use specialized software for modeling.
💡 Stage 4: Development of Measures
We prepare a list of specific energy efficiency improvement measures. For each measure, we indicate:
- Technical description and justification
- Implementation cost
- Expected savings in natural and monetary terms
- Payback period
- Implementation priority
Stage 5: Preparation of Reporting Documents
We compile a complete package of documents:
- Enterprise Energy Passport — an official document approved by KR legislation
- Technical Report on energy auditing with detailed analysis
- Recommendations for reducing energy resource costs
- Energy Saving Program for 3-5 years
What Energy Losses Do We Most Often Identify?
Over the years, we have analyzed hundreds of enterprises and identified typical problems:
1. Outdated Equipment
Soviet-era electric motors with 70-75% efficiency instead of modern 90-95%. Replacing one 50 kW motor can save up to 87,000 kW·h per year.
2. Inefficient Lighting
Incandescent and fluorescent lamps instead of LED. Switching to LED lighting reduces lighting costs by 60-80%.
3. Heat Loss Through Building Envelopes
Uninsulated walls, windows with wooden frames, lack of roof insulation. Heat losses can reach 40-50% of total heat consumption.
4. Suboptimal Operation of Ventilation and Air Conditioning Systems
Lack of heat recovery, improper settings, idle operation. Savings from optimization — 25-35%.
5. Leaks in Water Supply and Heating Systems
Invisible hot water and coolant leaks that can cost the enterprise tens of thousands of soms per month.
6. Unmetered Loads and “Sleeping” Consumption
Equipment consuming energy in standby mode, improperly configured meters, unauthorized connections.
7. Inefficient Work Schedule
Operation of energy-intensive equipment during peak tariff hours instead of night zones with reduced rates.
Real Energy Audit Results
Case 1: Manufacturing Enterprise (Bishkek)
Problem: Monthly electricity bills amounted to 450,000 soms.
Identified: 12 outdated electric motors, inefficient workshop lighting, lack of metering on individual lines.
Recommendations: Motor replacement, LED lighting installation, additional meter installation.
Result: Savings of 142,000 soms per month (31%). Payback period — 14 months.
Case 2: Shopping Center (Osh)
Problem: High costs for air conditioning and heating (890,000 soms/year).
Identified: Heat losses through uninsulated facade, inefficient ventilation system without heat recovery.
Recommendations: Facade insulation, heat recuperator installation, HVAC optimization.
Result: Savings of 312,000 soms per year (35%). Payback period — 2.5 years.
Case 3: Hotel (Issyk-Kul)
Problem: High hot water and heating consumption during off-season.
Identified: Lack of automatic temperature control, leaks in hot water supply system.
Recommendations: Thermostat installation, pipeline repair, solar collector installation.
Result: Savings of 186,000 soms per year (28%).
Energy Audit Cost
The price of energy auditing depends on several factors:
- Area and number of objects — the larger the area, the higher the cost
- Type of enterprise — industrial facilities are more complex than residential or office ones
- Number of engineering systems — electricity, heating, ventilation, water
- Necessity of instrumental measurements — thermal imaging survey, power quality analysis
- Urgency of completion — standard timeframe 2-4 weeks, express audit in 1 week
We offer flexible pricing and are ready to prepare an individual commercial proposal for your facility.
Important: The cost of energy audit usually pays for itself through the first identified savings. Our clients start saving from the first month after implementing recommendations.
