Tools for Energy Auditors Description

Most energy users wanting to hire an energy auditor expect him to have available various tools to aid in identifying and quantifying energy savings opportunities. But there is little guidance on what tools are needed and how to assess a tool for its suitability.

Without this knowledge, you may end up buying tools that are rarely, if ever, used, or perhaps you end up with regularly used tools that are cumbersome and hard to use.

This energy audit tools course provides guidance on the characteristics you should be looking for in a tool. It discusses each category of measurement tool that auditors commonly use:

• Electrical measurement tools for measuring voltage, amps, true RMS power, power factor
• Water flow measurement tools focussing on ultrasonic flow meters
• Temperature sensors and loggers
• Infrared thermometers and infrared cameras / thermal cameras
• Airflow measurement, including turbine anemometers and hot wire anemometers
• Air pressure measurement
• A range of other measurement tools

Our Tools for Energy Auditors course then looks at data collection tools, software tools, and tools that aid in communication and engagement.

Following this energy audit tools course, you should have a good idea of the tools you need and how you can best use them to aid your energy audits.
