Masterclass: Energy auditing to AS3598
Workshops and group exercises are used in a hands-on practical approach to lead participants through the process of delivering an Australian Standard compliant energy audit relating to:
- 3598.1 Energy Audits - Commercial buildings; and
- 3598.2 Energy Audits - Industrial and related activities.
About the standard
In 2014, Standards Australia released the standard for energy auditing: AS/NZS 3598:2014, which sets out minimum requirements for commissioning and conducting three prescribed types of audits that identify opportunities for cost effective investments to improve energy performance.
Unlike the previous standard, this standard is a series of standards focused on particular economic sectors:
- 3598.1 Energy audits – Commercial buildings
- 3598.2 Energy audits – Industrial and related activities
- 3598.3 Energy audits – Transport related activities
This series of standards are a significant revision to the previous standard, AS/NZS 3598:2000. They are more rigorous, are outcomes-based and are focused on providing audit customers with actionable energy conservation measures.
To support the implementation of the standard across the industry, the EEC worked with the NSW government to develop a quick reference guide focused on commercial and industrial audits.
- 3598.1 Energy audits – Commercial buildings
- 3598.2 Energy audits – Industrial and related activities
- 3598.3 Energy audits – Transport related activities
