SUPPORT IN OBTAINING WHITE CERTIFICATES – ENERGY EFFICIENCY CERTIFICATE AUDITS
White Certificates, or energy efficiency certificates, formally confirm a company’s actions to improve energy efficiency. Our support in this area includes conducting comprehensive energy efficiency audits aimed at obtaining White Certificates, in line with the Energy Efficiency Act of May 20, 2016. These certificates not only confirm energy savings but also provide additional financial benefits for companies.
1. Assessment of Project Potential for White Certificate Eligibility
Our team of specialists analyzes potential energy efficiency actions that may qualify for White Certificates. We evaluate projects such as modernization of heating, cooling, lighting systems, and optimization of technological processes for their energy savings potential and compliance with formal requirements.
2. Conducting Energy Efficiency Audits
We carry out energy efficiency audits required to apply for White Certificates. The audit includes:
- A detailed analysis of energy consumption before and after the implementation of modernization measures to determine energy savings,
- Calculations of the energy savings achieved by the project and their value concerning White Certificates,
- Technical documentation and economic analysis of the project, essential to demonstrate that the planned actions will result in real energy consumption reduction.
3. Preparing Documentation for the White Certificate Application
Our support includes preparing the comprehensive application documentation required for the White Certificate submission. This documentation includes:
- An energy efficiency audit report with a complete description of the project and savings calculations,
- Identification of technologies and methods applied to achieve energy savings,
- Economic and technical justification showing that the project will lead to lasting improvements in energy efficiency.
4. Ensuring Compliance with Legislative Requirements
We verify that projects comply with the legal requirements outlined in the Energy Efficiency Act and regulatory guidelines. We ensure each project meets the criteria defined in the regulations, including minimum energy savings and the sustainability of the modernization’s effects.
5. Financial Benefits Calculation from White Certificates
White Certificates have market value and can be sold on the Energy Commodity Exchange, providing additional revenue for the company. We offer support in calculating the financial benefits achievable through certificate sales. We also analyze the investment payback period, considering income from certificates to aid the company in precise budget planning.
6. Monitoring and Verification of Energy Savings
After obtaining White Certificates, we monitor the project’s energy savings to confirm the achieved results. Regular monitoring and data analysis help maintain compliance with certificate conditions and demonstrate real reductions in energy consumption.
7. Support in Regulatory Control Audits
If the regulator requests a control audit of the project, we assist the company in preparing for the review by providing full documentation and energy savings monitoring results. Our team collaborates with external auditors, ensuring compliance with all legal requirements and standards.
8. Planning Future Projects and Optimization
After completing a project, we assist the company in planning further modernization activities that may qualify for additional White Certificates. Based on identified areas for improvement, we help select projects that can bring further energy and financial benefits.
