Investigation of the Energy Audit Annual Consumption of 1.000 TOE

Our country provides 70% of its energy use from foreign countries. Our current account deficit is increasing due to energy imports. Therefore, efficient use of energy is of great importance for our country. The energy efficiency potential in the residential and industrial sectors is quite high for our country. In the literature, tons of equivalent petroleum is used as energy units and conversion between energy units is provided. In our country, for industrial enterprises with an annual energy consumption of 1000 tons of equivalent oil, the mandatory duration of energy audit work is four years. In this study, the three-year energy cost and energy consumption of an industrial enterprise with an annual energy consumption of more than one thousand tons of oil equivalent were examined, and suggestions were made to increase energy efficiency and reduce energy costs. The study company operates in the food industry. As a result of the study, it has been determined that 128 tons of equivalent petroleum energy savings can be achieved on a yearly basis, thanks to the proposal to the industrial enterprise.
