2. Standard on Energy Audits
• Developed under Mandate M/479
• Multi-part standard:
• EN 16247-1 Energy audits- General requirements
already published
• Parts 2 (buildings), 3 (processes), 4 (transport) and 5
(qualification of auditors) under development
• First read EN 16247-1 Energy audits- General
requirements
• Part 4 on transport expected to be published by July
2014

3. Standard on Energy Audits
• Transport is very diverse. An audit standard helps us:
• Meet customer expectations
• Innovate & promote adoption of new solutions
• Transport EN16247-4 to date
• Relatively little input from the industry
• Part 4 (transport) under development
• Seeking your input today

4. SEAI - www.seai.ie
Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland
• National Energy Authority for Ireland
– Includes all energy used by Transport
• 3,000+ energy assessments 2007-2013
– 100+ transport fleet energy assessments
– Included all major public sector fleets
– Average 10% saving within 3 months
• Obligated parties (fuel suppliers) engaged
via REIL www.reil.ie since mid-2012

5. Transport Energy Management (TEM)
Benefits of TEM to a fleet, from audit to ISO50001
• 2007 Energy Assessment 35L/100km
• 2008 EnergyMAP training 33L/100km
• 2010 Energy Award 30L/100km
• 2011 OBD telematics 29L/100km
• 2012 Energy Award ECOdrive 26L/100km
• 2013 ISO50001 - EnPI @ 20gCO2e/pax/Km

6. Transport Energy Audit
General Energy audit but: Vehicles move
• Road vehicles move 1-22 hours per day
• Ships put into port for limited periods
• Passenger (bus/train/tram) go back to
depot each night
• Refuelling at multiple locations
• When vehicle leaves base it is invisible
• Drivers will leave early to avoid you!

7. Operation
Each vehicle & its operator are different
• Captain of ship
• Train driver
• Delivery driver
• Passenger driver
• Service Engineer driver
• Most vehicles are significant energy
users - analyse energy use by vehicle
• By individual driver across
vehicles

8. Audit - analysis
Meter = refuelling pump
• Forecourt fuel pumps regularly checked
– On-site pumps need to be checked for
accuracy, look for label 
• EV chargers not always metered
• Ships may need a flow meter
• e.g. fishing vessels
• Trains may need a fuel/electricity meter
• Go out with stopwatch & clip board

9. Independent variables
Many variables are not controllable
• Weather e.g. rain, snow
• Wind direction & strength
• Sea state, wave heights
• Leaves on tracks
• Traffic congestion
• Passenger numbers
• Customer action / inaction
• Customer load weight

10. Summary
Used effectively, Transport Energy Audits:
• Reduce costs
• Reduce emissions
• Increase profit
• Improve competitiveness
• Securing jobs
