In 2027, large enterprises will once again be required to carry out their mandatory energy audit, which must be conducted every four years. An audit represents a comprehensive energy assessment, the results of which provide detailed information to management about energy-saving and optimization opportunities. An energy audit also lays the foundation for development projects and the implementation of the ISO 50001 Energy Management System.
During the energy assessment (audit), we analyze energy consumption and related costs associated with buildings, technological processes, and transport activities in accordance with the methodology set out in the MSZ EN 16247-1-4 standard. We prepare specific energy performance indicators and make recommendations for energy-saving opportunities, supported by payback calculations.
It is no longer sufficient to simply “tick the box” and complete the energy audit; the findings and recommendations must now be meaningfully addressed. The legislation has introduced the concept of an implementation plan, which must include technically and economically feasible steps and measures developed on the basis of the audit results and recommendations.
The plan must be submitted to the managing director or executive officer of the company; it does not need to be submitted to the authorities.
Another new requirement is public disclosure: an annual report must be prepared on the implementation plans and the rate of implementation of the recommendations. This report must be published on the company’s website by March 31 of the year following the reporting year.
For many company executives, the mandatory audit is merely an administrative burden to be checked off. We see it as a business advantage:
The audit is not a burden — let it become your competitive advantage!
During an on-site visit we assess the production processes, equipments, tools, energy supply system, metering and sub-metering points.
In cooperation with our client, we collect and analyse data, documents and conduct in-depth interviews with the experts responsible for the operation and technological processes of the company or property.
We prepare an audit report and an executive summary, which will be presented to the management and colleagues responsible for the area, thinking together about the most cost-effective improvement options, helping to formulate a short as well as a longer-term strategy.
The following areas will be investigated:
Since 2016, as an energy auditor organization registered
with the Hungarian Energy and Public Utility Regulatory Authority (MEKH) and
holding an official energy audit license, we have been supporting large
enterprises in this field since the introduction of Act LVII of 2015 on Energy
Efficiency.
Our team of experts prepares the assessment together with
experienced auditors specialized in the relevant areas and develops the
corresponding improvement plans. By analyzing payback periods and complementing
them with financial sensitivity analyses, we support reliable financial
planning.
During our comprehensive advisory services, we always
examine available tax allowances, grant opportunities, financing options, and,
upon request, the possibilities offered by the Energy Efficiency Obligation
Scheme (EKR).
The energy audit provides detailed information to management on energy-saving and optimization opportunities and supports the preparation of development projects and the implementation of the ISO 50001 system. During the assessment, we analyze energy consumption and costs related to buildings, technological processes, and transport activities, determine specific energy performance indicators, and identify potential energy cost savings.
Based on our experience, in cases where there is no dedicated energy specialist within the company, or where no energy review has been conducted in recent years, we are able to identify significant immediate savings opportunities. In such cases, the audit fee typically pays for itself almost immediately.
The assessment generally takes 20–30 working days, depending on the availability and quality of the provided data.
Our company has been an energy auditing organization
accredited by the Hungarian Energy and Public Utility Regulatory Authority
since 2015.
We hold professional liability insurance covering energy audits.
Many believe that loss-exploration audits are only relevant for large enterprises and companies obligated under the 10 TJ threshold. However, it can be stated that growing SMEs can also benefit significantly from such an assessment.
A thorough voluntary audit:
