Industrial Energy Audit Services for Ontario Facilities

Introduction: Enhancing Operational Efficiency Through Industrial Energy Audits

Industrial operations across Ontario face increasing energy costs, carbon compliance requirements, and competitive production pressures. Energy-intensive systems such as compressed air, process heating, large motor loads, and mechanical equipment significantly impact operational budgets.

A professionally executed Industrial Energy Audit provides facility managers and plant owners with a data-driven framework to reduce energy intensity while improving system reliability and production performance.

EnerSolution Inc. conducts comprehensive industrial energy audits tailored to manufacturing plants, food processing facilities, distribution centers, and heavy industrial operations. Our methodology focuses on measurable efficiency improvements, rebate optimization, and long-term capital planning.

Understanding the Industrial Energy Audit Process

An Industrial Energy Audit differs from commercial assessments due to the complexity of production systems and process loads. Our structured evaluation includes both facility infrastructure and process-specific energy consumption.

Core Industrial Audit Components:

• Detailed utility consumption and demand analysis

• Load profiling for production equipment

• Compressed air system leakage and pressure optimization testing

• Boiler and steam distribution efficiency assessment

• Process heating and cooling system evaluation

• Large motor and pump performance analysis

• Electrical distribution and power factor review

• Waste heat recovery opportunity assessment

Our engineering-based approach identifies both operational improvements and capital retrofit opportunities.

The EnerSolution Industrial Audit Framework

We follow a structured technical methodology to ensure accuracy and financial clarity.

Step 1: Facility & Process Assessment

Our certified energy advisors conduct a comprehensive on-site evaluation including:

• Inventory of production equipment and rated capacities

• Review of operating schedules and production throughput

• Measurement of airflow, steam pressure, and thermal losses

• Motor load testing and VFD opportunity analysis

• Inspection of HVAC and building envelope systems supporting production areas

This stage establishes a performance baseline aligned with actual production demand.

Step 2: Engineering Analysis & Performance Modeling

Following site assessment, EnerSolution prepares a detailed Industrial Energy Audit report containing:

• Energy intensity benchmarking (kWh per unit of production)

• Identification of Energy Conservation Measures (ECMs)

• Capital cost estimates and simple payback calculations

• Lifecycle cost analysis for major system upgrades

• Demand reduction and peak shaving strategies

• Greenhouse gas emission reduction projections

Recommendations are prioritized based on operational impact, ROI, and implementation feasibility.

Step 3: Incentive & Funding Optimization

Industrial facilities may qualify for significant financial support through:

• IESO Save on Energy industrial programs

• Enbridge gas efficiency incentives

• Federal clean technology funding initiatives

• Carbon reduction and decarbonization grants

EnerSolution ensures all technical documentation aligns with program criteria to maximize incentive approval and financial return.
