TLDR
In this paper, the authors present the results of an energy audit conducted within a company operating in the agri-food sector in the eastern region of Morocco, which has contributed significantly to the development of a systematic approach to decision-making and consequently to the improvement of the energy efficiency.Abstract:
This study aims to highlight a methodology for implementing an energy audit plan within industries. Today, international competitiveness involves optimizing companies’ production costs. This necessarily requires the implementation of rigorous energy saving policies. These savings are measures taken to limit energy consumption or to avoid energy losses. The energy audit is a methodical review and analysis of the use and consumption of energy; which attempts to identify energy flows and information on all the company’s energy consumption patterns. According to the information obtained in audit potential improvements in energy efficiency are carried out. In this paper, we present the results of an energy audit conducted within a company operating in the agri-food sector in the eastern region of Morocco. It has been shown that, in this case, the database resulting from the energy audit has contributed significantly to the development of a systematic approach to decision-making and consequently to the improvement of the energy efficiency.read more
