On-Site Inspection Plan for Energy Efficiency at Hayat Diagnostic Centre

1. Building Walkthrough

Objective:

To assess the energy performance of the building by identifying areas of energy waste and
inefficiency across all systems and equipment.
Tasks:
 Energy Auditors:
o Visual Inspection: Walk through the building to observe the current HVAC
systems, lighting, electrical systems, and any other energy-consuming equipment.
o System Evaluation: Inspect the condition and operation of HVAC systems,
including any ductwork, air handling units, thermostats, and VAV systems.
o Lighting Review: Review the installation of LED lights and evaluate whether the
placement and types of lighting are optimized for energy efficiency.
o Building Envelope Inspection: Evaluate the insulation, windows, and doors to
ensure they are energy-efficient and contributing to optimal temperature
regulation.
o Power Distribution System Check: Inspect electrical panels and wiring for
inefficiencies or unnecessary loads.
o Equipment Efficiency Check: Review medical and office equipment (e.g.,
diagnostic machines, computers) for energy consumption.
 Facility Manager:
o Assist in guiding the auditors to key areas that may require special attention (e.g.,
areas of high energy consumption, legacy equipment).
o Provide any historical data on energy consumption patterns, if available.
Tools Needed:
 Thermal camera (for checking insulation, heat loss areas)

 Digital thermometer (for temperature measurements)
 Airflow meter (for checking HVAC system efficiency)
 Flashlight (for inspecting hard-to-reach areas)
 Notepad/tablet (for documentation)
 Multimeter (for electrical system evaluation)
Activities Under the Building Walkthrough Phase:

 Step 1: Schedule a walkthrough of the facility with the energy auditors, ensuring all
critical systems are covered, including HVAC, lighting, and electrical infrastructure.
 Step 2: Auditors will document and assess potential inefficiencies, paying special
attention to the HVAC and lighting systems, which may offer the most significant
energy-saving opportunities.
 Step 3: Collect initial data on equipment age, condition, and operational hours, to help in
understanding inefficiencies or excessive energy consumption.
Time Frame:
 Duration: 1-2 days (depending on the size and complexity of the facility)
2. Data Logging
Objective:
To gather detailed energy usage data over a specific period to assess equipment performance and
identify trends in energy consumption.
Tasks:
 Energy Auditors:
o Installation of Data Loggers: In areas where energy consumption is difficult to
analyze visually, energy auditors will install data loggers on critical equipment
(e.g., HVAC, solar inverters, lighting, medical diagnostic equipment).
o Monitoring of Equipment Usage: Data loggers will record the performance of
the equipment and systems continuously or at set intervals (e.g., hourly, daily) to
gather detailed data on electricity consumption, operating hours, and efficiency.
o Data Analysis: After the data logging period, auditors will analyze the collected
data to identify patterns of excessive energy use and times when the systems may
be underperforming or overusing energy.
 Facility Manager:
o Coordination: Assist with the placement of data loggers in areas of concern and
make sure staff are aware of equipment being monitored.
o Record Equipment Usage: Ensure staff follow standard operating procedures so
that equipment operates in a typical manner during the monitoring period.
Tools Needed:
 Energy data loggers (to monitor energy consumption of specific equipment or systems)
 Data analytics software (for analyzing energy usage patterns and producing reports)
 Wireless sensors (if applicable, for remote monitoring of specific equipment or areas)
 Power meters (for measuring energy consumption at various points)
 Mobile devices/tablets (for real-time data analysis, if needed)
Activities Under the Data Logging Phase:
 Step 1: Select equipment or areas of concern to install the data loggers (e.g., HVAC
units, lighting circuits, critical diagnostic equipment).
 Step 2: Install the data loggers and set them to monitor energy consumption continuously
or at periodic intervals for a period of 2-4 weeks.
 Step 3: Begin data logging process and track any unusual energy consumption patterns,
especially during operational and non-operational hours.
 Step 4: After the monitoring period, collect the data from the loggers for analysis.
Time Frame:
 Duration: 2-4 weeks (based on the type of equipment and data needed)
Expected Outcomes:
1. Identification of Inefficiencies:
o Pinpoint areas where energy consumption is excessive or where equipment is
operating inefficiently (e.g., HVAC systems running outside of optimal
temperature ranges, lights left on unnecessarily).
2. Data for Benchmarking:
o The data collected will provide a baseline for future energy performance and
allow Hayat Diagnostic Centre to track the effectiveness of any energy-saving
measures implemented.
3. Actionable Recommendations:
o The energy audit, coupled with data logging, will provide actionable
recommendations on system upgrades, operational changes, or equipment
replacement to reduce energy costs and improve efficiency.
Execution Time Summary:
 Building Walkthrough: 1-2 days

 Data Logging: 2-4 weeks (depending on equipment and usage patterns)
This on-site inspection phase serves as a crucial step in the process of improving energy
efficiency at Hayat Diagnostic Centre. By identifying areas of inefficiency and gathering
comprehensive data on energy usage, the organization will be better positioned to make informed
decisions on energy-saving measures.
