    The 10-step energy audit procedure document outlines the process for conducting an energy audit at an industrial facility. Step 1 involves planning and organizing the audit with a walk-through and interviews. Step 2 is conducting briefings to collect initial data. Step 3 develops process and utility diagrams and collects historic energy usage data. Step 4 involves detailed surveys of motors, insulation, lighting and equipment. Step 5 does detailed monitoring of major energy users. Step 6 analyzes the energy use data. Step 7 identifies potential energy conservation opportunities and measures. Step 8 performs cost-benefit analyses of the options. Step 9 reports findings and recommendations to management. Step 10 is implementing recommendations and conducting follow-ups.
