Energy Auditing.

Several hundreds of conducted Energy Audits.

BMB has been accredited under Australian Enterprise Energy Audit Program, and most of the completed projects have been conducted under Australian Standard 3598.

 

        Summary of Some Energy Auditing Projects in Australia.


BMB has brought Energy Auditing & Management Experience to Australia from his previous work in Europe. In Australia, at first, BMB has established cooperation with BORAL, and a pair of consultancy companies, EW Systems — Canberra and SIMKEY Pty Ltd — Newcastle. From 1994, onwards, Branimir has been accredited for EEAP (Enterprise Energy Audit Program) with the DPIE (Department of Primary Industries & Energy) Canberra AUSTRALIA and IEAust (Institution of Engineers Australia) to conduct ENERGY AUDITS within the Australian Industry: Farms, Roadhouses, Mines, Hotels, Factories, etc. Each project had to be followed by the report, the implementation action, and used to attract 50%-of-the-cost subsidy. Total energy saved after the several years of active project work of Branimir was worth over A$2million.  Enterprize Energy Audit Program (EEAP), Institution of Engineers Australia (IEAust), Department of Primary Industries and Energy (DPIE).
