Energy Audit According to DIN 16247-1

According to the Energy Services Act (EDL-G), medium-sized and large companies based in the Federal Republic of Germany are obliged to provide evidence of regular energy audit activities. One possibility is an energy audit according to DIN 16247-1.

Experience Value:

An implementation period of 6 months is realistic.

Since 2015, our energy auditors Hendrikje Schubert and Felix Berlin have audited 40 companies from the following sectors:

An energy audit in accordance with DIN 16247-1 is a functional instrument for identifying measures to increase energy efficiency and reduce energy costs without tying up capacities over a long period of time. The systematic and structured determination of the areas in which your company consumes how much energy makes it possible to identify where there is potential for savings. DIN 16247-1 formulates the requirements for the audit process to ensure a high-quality energy audit.

From §§ 8-8d EDL-G, 05.12.2015 was the compliance date for the first energy audit for medium and large enterprises. The third commitment period and the associated repeat audits are already in full swing. At least every four years after completion of the initial audit, an energy audit must be carried out using auditors with the appropriate qualifications and accreditation to ensure that they are acting in accordance with the legal requirements and standards.

The BAFA (Federal Office of Economics and Export Control) is charged with the random inspection of energy audits and the provision of a public list of persons authorized to perform energy audits (energy auditor list). These persons must have the required qualification according to § 8b EDL-G.
