Energy Audit Services for Industrial Units and Commercial Buildings
A detailed energy audit by BEE-certified energy managers and auditors. We measure how your facility actually uses power, find where it is wasted, and hand you a costed plan to bring the bill down. Independent from day one: the audit is never tied to an equipment sale.

- Independent and vendor-neutral
Overview
What a detailed energy audit covers
Energy is one of the largest cost lines in an industrial facility. Heavy machinery, HVAC and compressor systems draw power around the clock, and small inefficiencies quietly add up on the bill. In most facilities, nobody is measuring where that power actually goes.
An energy audit is the step-by-step method that fixes this. As per BEE guidelines, certified energy auditors compare the rated consumption of your major equipment against what it actually draws. They map how electricity, fuel, steam and compressed air move through the site, and find where energy is wasted. Every finding goes into a report with a cost-benefit analysis and a simple payback period, so management can pick the projects worth doing first.
PowerTech is an energy audit company based in Pune, with a presence in Mumbai. Since 2014 we have completed 600+ energy audits across India and abroad, and implemented 200+ energy-saving projects. We stay independent throughout: the findings are never shaped by an equipment sale.
Below are the checks at the core of every audit:
- Load profiling across motors, pumps, HVAC, compressed air and lighting.
- Tariff, contract demand and consumption benchmarking against your recent bills.
- A prioritised list of energy conservation measures, each with cost, saving and payback.
What's included
The systems we check on site
The scope is fixed before we start, so you know exactly what the team checks on site. Below are the systems a detailed industrial energy audit typically covers:
-
Energy bill and tariff analysis
We review your recent bills, tariff slabs, contract demand and penalties to see what you actually pay for, and where the billing itself can be optimised.
-
Electrical systems and load study
Load profiling, demand analysis and power factor checks, with a full power quality study where the site needs one.
-
Motor and pump efficiency
Energy performance assessment of pumps and motors, checking whether each drive is sized right for the load it carries.
-
HVAC and chiller assessment
Chiller performance, AHU efficiency, duct leakage and flow measurements across your cooling systems.
-
Compressed air system audit
Compressor efficiency, ultrasonic air leak detection, pressure optimisation and a study of the piping network.
-
Steam and boiler assessment
Boiler efficiency and steam system assessment, tracing heat losses across the distribution network.
-
Lighting review
Lighting load and lux levels measured area by area, matched against what each space needs.
-
Renewable energy opportunities
Where solar or other renewable options genuinely fit your site, they enter the plan with the same payback scrutiny.
Why it matters
What you walk away with
Every audit ends with the same four deliverables:
-
A full energy balance
A breakdown of where every unit of energy goes, measured across utilities and production rather than assumed.
-
A ranked savings plan
Energy conservation measures listed with cost, likely saving and simple payback, so you can pick where to start.
-
A report authorities accept
The report follows BEE guidelines and is accepted by state and central government bodies.
-
Support beyond the report
We can implement the measures turnkey or as consultants, then monitor and verify the savings achieved.
Methodology
The energy audit methodology, in five steps
The same BEE-aligned process runs on every site, scaled to its size:
-
Pre-audit data collection
We collect utility bills, consumption data and the connected load list, then set priorities for the most energy-intensive equipment.
-
On-site measurement
Auditors measure with calibrated instruments such as power quality meters, thermal imagers, ultrasonic leak detectors and lux meters. We measure, we do not guess.
-
Analysis and report
The data becomes an energy balance and a list of energy conservation measures, each with a cost-benefit analysis and a simple payback period.
-
Implementation
Act on the report yourself, or have us handle vendor finalisation, procurement and commissioning, turnkey or as consultants.
-
Monitoring and verification
Realised savings are benchmarked and verified against the plan, so you know the project delivered.

Compliance
Is an energy audit mandatory in India?
For designated consumers, yes. Below is how the mandate works:
-
Designated consumers: mandatory
Cross a consumption threshold set under the Energy Conservation Act, 2001, and your facility is a designated consumer. An energy audit by BEE-certified energy auditors is then mandatory.
-
Some DISCOMs and agencies: mandatory
Several state DISCOMs and government agencies have also made energy audits mandatory.
-
Everyone else: voluntary
No mandate applies. The case for an audit here is the savings, not a certificate.

Energy audit services: FAQs
Straight answers to what facility teams usually ask:
What is an energy audit service?
An energy audit service is a professional assessment of how your facility uses energy, done to find saving opportunities across the utilities and processes. As per BEE guidelines it includes a techno-financial analysis, so every recommended measure comes with its cost and expected payback.
What does an energy auditor do?
An energy auditor works out your facility's energy consumption breakdown, measures the operational efficiency of major equipment, and identifies energy conservation measures. The auditor also provides the first techno-financial analysis for each measure, supports implementation, and verifies the savings once measures go live.
What are the types of energy audit?
Three types cover most needs. A walkthrough audit is a half-day to one-day visual review without rigorous measurement. A detailed energy audit runs typically 2 to 5 days on site with a team of auditors and calibrated instruments. A targeted audit studies one system in depth, such as compressed air or HVAC.
Is an energy audit mandatory in India?
For designated consumers, yes. Facilities whose consumption crosses thresholds defined under the Energy Conservation Act, 2001 must get energy audits done by BEE-certified energy auditors. Several state DISCOMs and government agencies mandate audits for further categories. For other facilities it is voluntary.
What is the cost of an energy audit in India?
Audit cost depends on the type of facility, the connected load and the scope of work. PowerTech provides a customised scope and commercial terms once we have your facility details, with no obligation on your side.
How long does an energy audit take?
On-site work typically takes 2 to 5 days. End to end, a detailed energy audit of a large facility can take up to 15 days, depending on the size of the site and the audit team.
What do we receive at the end of the audit?
A detailed report with your energy balance, consumption patterns and the identified energy conservation measures, each with the best available solution, a cost-benefit analysis and a simple payback period. The report follows BEE guidelines and is accepted by state and central government bodies.
What is the return on investment from an energy audit?
It varies by site, so we never promise a figure upfront. Across implemented projects, payback typically lands between 6 and 18 months, depending on the size of the facility and the saving opportunities available. The report shows the expected payback per measure before you spend anything.
Why choose PowerTech as your energy audit company?
We have an in-house team of BEE-certified energy managers and auditors, 600+ energy audits completed and 200+ energy-saving projects implemented since 2014. The focus stays on measured data and practical implementation. And we are independent. No equipment sale sits behind the findings.
Which areas do you cover?
PowerTech is headquartered in Pune, with a presence in Mumbai. We have delivered energy audits in all Indian states and abroad, and the audit team travels to your site wherever it is.
Do you also implement the recommended measures?
Yes. Implementation can be a turnkey project or a consulting engagement, as per your comfort: vendor finalisation, procurement, commissioning, then monitoring and verification of the realised savings. For suitable projects we also offer a savings-linked BOT model, where our cost is recovered from the savings achieved.
