Energiankatsaukset

Energiankatsaukset is a Finnish term that translates to "energy reviews" or "energy audits." It refers to a systematic process of assessing and analyzing energy consumption and efficiency within a building, facility, or industrial process. The primary goal of an energiankatsaus is to identify opportunities for energy savings and to recommend measures for improving energy performance.

These reviews typically involve collecting data on past and present energy usage, examining building insulation, HVAC systems, lighting, and other energy-consuming equipment. An energiankatsaus can also include an analysis of operational practices and occupant behavior. The findings are usually presented in a report that outlines current energy performance, highlights areas of inefficiency, and proposes cost-effective solutions. These solutions might include simple behavioral changes, upgrades to more efficient technologies, or more extensive building retrofits.

Energiankatsaukset are often a prerequisite for accessing government grants or subsidies aimed at improving energy efficiency. They are a valuable tool for property owners, businesses, and industrial facilities looking to reduce operating costs, decrease their environmental impact, and enhance the overall sustainability of their operations. The depth and scope of an energiankatsaus can vary depending on the specific needs and complexity of the facility being assessed.
