DIN EN 16247-3:2012-10

This part of the energy audit standard specifies the requirements, methodology and deliverables of an energy audit on an industrial site. It should be read in conjunction with prEN 16247-1, Energy Audits - Part 1: General Requirements.This part of the standard applies to sites where the energy consumption is due to processes, utilities in relation with it and necessary conditions of operation means in direct line with process. An industrial site can include one or more production lines, offices, laboratories, research centres, packaging and warehouse sections with specific operational conditions (cool storage facilities, security), a part of logistics (vehicle access, loading bay, etc.). An energy audit could include the whole industrial site or part of an industrial site.The site to audit can include buildings where there are no industrial processes (offices, research centres etc.). In this case, the energy auditor may choose to apply the prEN 16247-2, Energy Audits - Part 2: Buildings.For example, the audit of a building mainly analyses the comfort conditions of the users. In some cases, specific conditions in relation to a service can be added (in a data center, for example).If on-site transport on an industrial site is included in the scope of the energy audit, the energy auditor may choose to apply prEN 16247-4, Energy Audits - Part 4: Transport.The choice to apply parts 2 and 4 could be made during the preliminary contact.
