Energy Audit for Business

Comprehensive energy efficiency audits are the tool your company needs to analyse how energy is used across its facilities and quantify their efficiency, in line with current legislation.

In Grupo Trébol Energía we are an energy consulting and an energy auditor companies referent in the area of consulting and energy management, performing energy audits to customers in the facilities of the companies. We perform energy audits following the provisions of Royal Decree 56/2016 and the European Directive 2012/27/EU, mandatory for companies.

An audit allows you to know not only the levels of consumption made, but also what are the best energy management practices to enhance savings within the company.

Mandatory energy audits are technical assessments of an organisation’s energy consumption. They show how energy is used, identify inefficiencies and propose improvements. In certain cases, beyond being a tool for saving and optimisation, they are a legal obligation for some companies under current regulation.

Its purpose is not merely to review consumption, but to analyse facilities, processes and energy patterns in order to identify genuine efficiency opportunities and meet the applicable regulatory requirements.

According to RD 56/2016 an energy audit is any systematic procedure intended to obtain adequate knowledge regarding the own consumption profile of a building, group of buildings, commercial, industrial or public or private service facility. Also, it allows to determine and quantify the possibilities of energy savings and generate reports in this regard.

Royal Decree 56 of 2016 establishes the cases in which energy efficiency audits are mandatory. These are:

However, it is also possible to register audits on a voluntary basis, whenever companies or buildings are interested in knowing the current state of their energy consumption and, above all, in projecting changes to it.

Royal Decree 56/2016 establishes the following requirements, of mandatory nature, for any energy audit.

A mandatory energy audit must provide a technical, structured view of the company's energy behaviour. It is not just a matter of collecting invoices: it must analyse the main energy uses in sufficient depth and identify areas for improvement.

A business energy audit typically reviews:

A well-executed comprehensive energy efficiency audit does more than meet the standard: it pinpoints concrete actions to cut costs and improve energy performance.

The question of when to start an energy audit is a common one.

Following established regulations, energy audits must be carried out at least every four years. This interval ensures regular and up-to-date monitoring of energy consumption, allowing companies to keep abreast of trends and changes in their energy profiles. Grupo Trébol Energía undertakes these periodic audits, ensuring that organizations comply with legal requirements and maintain a continuous focus on energy efficiency.
