Our energy efficiency experts conduct energy audits for both industrial and public sector customers. The goal of an energy audit is to analyse the customer's total energy use and to identify potential energy savings and the measures required to achieve savings. We also analyse the viability of renewable energy use and sources of CO₂ emissions.

Elomatic’s expert auditors conduct energy audits according to the Motiva model for industry, communes and real estates. The audits are conducted by Motiva trained and qualified auditors that have diverse experience of energy projects. Elomatic implements the audit phases from measurements to reports according to the customer’s needs. The close cooperation continues throughout the entire life cycle of realization projects. In implementation projects we are able to draw on the diverse design know-how found across the different Elomatic business areas..

Deep domain knowledge in:

• Industrial energy audits and analyses
• Communal energy audits
• Subsidy application preparation (Finland)
• Heat recovery systems
• Heat pump applications

Elomatic NetInfo is an internet-based service for the effective and easy management of district heating network information. The service collects district heating network information in one place; all documents are centralized in the NetInfo system and are easily accessible. Several users can benefit from the system simultaneously and licenses are acquired as needed. This enables information transfer and interaction between partners.

NetInfo brings quality and cost efficiency improvements

Energy audits aim to lower energy and water consumption, related costs and CO₂ emissions. By means of energy audits a target facility’s whole energy consumption, energy potential and derived profitability are clarified. The Finnish Ministry of Employment and the Economy subsidizes energy audits that have been conducted according to the Motiva model. The subsidy covers a maximum of 40-60% of the energy audit costs.

Elomatic’s expert auditors conduct energy audits according to the Motiva model for industry, communes and real estates.

• Changing operation times of air ventilation and lighting
• Correcting compressed air network leaks
• Replacing oil with renewable energy

An operational carbon footprint survey reveals the amount of green house gases released into the atmosphere as a direct result of business operations. The data produced in determining the carbon footprint can be used as initial data in efforts to improve the environmental friendliness of services and production.

The primary goal in defining the operational carbon footprint of an organization is data production. The data informs the organization about its own environmental impact and aids in determining which actions are required to reduce this impact. Operations that are environmentally sustainable are naturally a plus to any company's image. Environmentally friendly thinking in organizations also more often than not leads to changes that produce concrete savings.

Carbon footprint survey phases

• Definition of actions used in calculation
• Selection of calculation methods
• Operational data collection
• Calculation of carbon footprint
• Reporting and suggested measures and if required organization of continuous monitoring
