DOST Energy Audit and

SETUP Program for MSMEs

Presented by: JULIUS CAESAR V. SICAT, Ph.D.

Dept. of Science and Technology (Philippines)

Energy Audit

- critical examination of a facility to

improve energy efficiency and

productivity (identify areas of energy

loss/ waste; recommend energy saving

strategies/opportunities)

- verification, monitoring and analysis of

energy use (including technical report

with cost benefit analysis and action

plan to reduce energy consumption)

Why do we need Energy Audit?

To set energy efficiency & conservation

goals.

To identify areas where energy wastes

can occur.

Relate energy consumption to

production.

Improve process / equipment

efficiencies.

Identify and recommend energy saving

opportunities.

Energy Audits Conducted by DOST-ITDI Energy Audit Team

Some Common Recommendations Made:

Lighting System

Regular cleaning of lamps and lighting fixtures

Replacement/Retrofits of 40W FL with 36W FL

or 28W FL with electronic ballast

Replacement of 25W CFL with 8.8W LED

lamps

Replacement of 210W Metal Halide lamps with

120W HFED lamps

Maximize daylighting, e.g. solar bulbs

Task lighting

Some Common Recommendations Made:

Refrigeration and Air-conditioning System

Regular cleaning/maintenance of evaporators, condensers and

filters

Recharging/replacement with environment friendly refrigerant

Insulation of refrigerant suction line

Replacement of old/dilapidated units with high efficient units with

high EER, e.g. inverter type ACU’s

Reduce heat loads, e.g. sun screens & shields, etc.

Regular checking of piping insulation for cracks or damage and

repair promptly as needed, to prevent heat lost.

Some Common Recommendations Made:

Refrigeration and Air-conditioning System

Implementation of proper door management by reducing the duration

of door openings.

Improvement of the defrosting schedule of the reefer vans as

opposed to timed schedules.

Immediate replacement of the damaged door sealants to prevent air

leakages.

Provision of cover/shading for the condenser unit exposed to direct

sunlight and regular cleaning of the condensers, evaporators and

filters of the STACUs and reefer vans.

Regular cleaning of condensers of reefer van and chilling tanks.

Some Common Recommendations Made:

Oven

Check gas leak.

Calibrate oven temperature gauge.

Minimize opening the oven during baking operation.

Regular monitoring of the LPG & diesel consumption of the

equipment.

Use of more efficient oven more frequently oven more frequently &

optimization of the load of all ovens.

Regular preventive maintenance of the oven & its burner system,

optimization of air to fuel ration of the diesel burner & use of waste

heat to heat combustion air.

Energy Audit in MSMEs

A food manufacturing company in Laguna

realized:

savings of about $11,230.00 within six

months (Dec 2010-May 2011) with

improvements in their boilers and steam

system.

savings of around 32 barrels of oil

equivalent (boe).

reduction of greenhouse gas emission

equivalent to 37 metric tons(MT) of CO2.

Energy Audit in MSMEs

A meat processing company in Pampanga

realized:

savings of about $40,750.00 within six

months (Sept. 2007-March 2008) with

improvements in their refrigeration and

air conditioning system.

saving of around 155 barrels of oil

equivalent (boe).

reduction of greenhouse gas emission

equivalent to 132 metric tons (MT) of

CO2.
