It should be read in conjunction with and is supplementary to prEN 16247-1, Energy audits - Part 1: General requirements. This part of EN 16247 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. On an industrial site, an energy audit is an important tool to facilitate an organisation to manage its energy. It can be part of a site wide energy management system. An industrial site can include one or more production lines, offices, laboratories, research centres, packaging and warehouse sections with specific operational conditions, site transportation. An energy audit could include the whole industrial site or part of an industrial site. If buildings with no industrial processes are included in the scope of the energy audit, the energy auditor may choose to apply prEN 16247-2 Energy Audits - Part 2: Buildings. 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 decision to apply parts 2 and 4 could be made during the preliminary contact.
