Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
An energy audit evaluates how a business uses energy. This is an important part of any decarbonisation pathway.
During an energy audit, your sustainability auditor will take inventory of your energy use, equipment and practises. They will identify energy use hotspots and patterns that may suggest energy waste or inefficient practises. They will then recommend ways to improve your energy usage, for example, by swapping out equipment for energy-efficient alternatives, shifting energy loading times and transitioning to a cleaner energy source.
ERF audits are conducted in line with Australia’s Carbon Credits (Carbon Farming Initiative) Act 2011, under the Clean Energy Regulator’s (CER) Emissions Reduction Fund (ERF). Audits are crucial for CER to verify issuing of Australian carbon credit units (ACCUs).
The auditing process is complex and rigorous to ensure the reported abatement truly reflects the actual net reduction in emissions for a specific project during the designated reporting period.
We are one of the most active and skilled firms in this space and have audited hundreds of ERF projects – both land-based and industrial. For more than five years we’ve been a member of the Clean Energy Regulator’s Audit Panel.
