PROCEDURES FOR ENERGY ACCOUNTING AND FORM FOR ENERGY ACCOUNTING REPORTS
(Attached to Circular No. 25/TT-BCT dated September 29, 2020 of Minister of Industry and Trade)

A. PROCEDURES FOR IMPLEMENTATION OF ENERGY ACCOUNTING

I. SPECIFIC PROCEDURES

Specific procedures for energy accounting are summarized under Schedule 1.

Schedule 1. Specific procedures for energy accounting

Step 1. Determine energy accounting scope

Specify scope of work and resources that can be mobilized for implementation of energy accounting. Resources include personnel, time and expense. Based on level of concern, support and request of heads of enterprises, accounting groups shall identify accounting scope, localize equipment/technology processes to be accounted, level of detail of accounting, prediction of energy saving capacity, opportunities for energy saving to be adopted after accounting, improvement of operation and maintenance affairs on the basis of energy accounting results, training demands after energy accounting or other supporting activities, etc.  On the basis of issues mentioned above, energy accounting plans will henceforth be executed.

Step 2. Form accounting groups

Accounting groups shall be established on the basis of:

Determine number of accounts and specific tasks of each accountant;

Invite architects and technicians of accounted enterprises to the group (to provide information on equipment features, states of operation and maintenance, etc.);

In case number of accountants of enterprises is inadequate, hire additional energy accounting experts externally (from centers for energy saving and universities capable of energy accounting as per the law).

Step 3. Estimate duration and expense

On the basis of resource availability, accounting groups must identify duration and expense required for accounting. Expense on accounting is primarily calculated based on personnel cost (number of hours spent by members of accounting groups from data collection to completion of energy accounting reports). Take into account expense on hiring measuring instrument and necessary equipment in case of unavailability and expense on hiring external experts.

Step 4. Collect available data

Data and information to be collected consist of:

a) Technical properties of equipment and technology processes to be accounted; (in case of buildings, pay attention to storey area, construction structure, orientation, front structure, type and number of equipment using energy, etc.)

b) Equipment operation procedures; technical drawings, plan view of premises; guidelines for equipment repair, experiment instructions and equipment acceptance records;

c) Books and reports regarding operation and maintenance of equipment, records of measurement readings regarding temperature, pressure, electric current, number of hour of operation, etc.

d) Records regarding energy-saving opportunities that have been adopted and to be adopted;

e) Records regarding use of energy, maximum use demands of manufacturing processes and areas in the last 3 years;

f) Energy purchase invoices in the last 3 years;

g) Productivity of each product type in the last 3 years.

In general, assume that enterprises store documents and technicians preserve records of technical properties of equipment, technology processes and operation conditions. Accounting groups must identify appropriate subjects to gather data and discuss in order to get used to equipment and technology processes to be subject of energy accounting and discuss in detail with operators and end energy users (e.g. satisfaction of users regarding microclimate conditions in buildings, etc.). Accounting groups must prepare questionnaires for end users regarding their concerns.

After collecting all or the majority of information on features and conditions of equipment, technology processes, energy use methods, etc., accounting groups may identify subsequent survey requirements. At this point, accountants must comprehend information relating to basic equipment properties namely:

- Flowcharts illustrating energy currents, inputs and outputs of each equipment and technology process; establish energy balance and material balance for subjects of accounting (flowcharts in “black box” fashion); operational properties of equipment using energy;

- Type and characteristics of heat generating boilers and steam generating systems;

- Type and capacity of cooling systems and technical properties (cooling pressure, temperature, water amount for chilling and temperature, pressure, etc.);

- Type of air conditioning systems, system components (pumps, fans, pressurizes, pipes, etc.), operational characteristics (amount, temperature, pressure, etc.)

- Level of participation of equipment and systems;

- Control mechanisms for equipment and systems (controllers, compliant equipment, sensors, etc.);

- Lighting equipment, technical characteristics and controlling scheme;

- Characteristics of electricity distributing systems;

- In case of accounting for buildings, accountants must also acknowledge:

. Characteristics of buildings;

. Operational characteristics of elevators and escalators (separate service areas, types of engines, control systems, etc.);

Accounting groups must compare operational characteristics of current equipment with design figures or with relevant technical documents to detect any discrepancy and areas where energy is wasted. Figures to be compared consist of:

- Efficiency of boilers and losses during burning of fuel;

- Losses along heat supply pipes (Pa/m)

- Efficiency of engines (%);

- Operational efficiency of cooling devices;

- Capacity of fan systems (kW/liter of air provided/second);

- Efficiency of fans (%);

- Efficiency of pumps (%);

- Efficiency of pressurizes (%);

- Lighting density (W/m2);

- Illuminance of lighting systems (Lm/W);

- Losses of lighting control systems (W);

- Etc.

For heating, ventilating and air conditioning (HVAC) system, areas where energy is wasted may be identified based on records for quantitative changes corresponding to changes in temperature and pressure.  For electricity generating systems, areas where energy is wasted may be identified based on records for electric current and voltage. In case records are not available, accounts must do measurement to identify which equipment/system underperforms. Number of measurement spots is determined at request and according practical capacity.

Step 5. Conduct physical examination and surveys

Primary activities consist of:

- Prepare specific survey plans for areas, equipment/equipment groups that need to be surveyed. Assign members of accounting groups;

- Consider dividing into groups to deal with areas, equipment/equipment groups. Namely divide into groups based on number of storey, technology processes, etc. Group division must also take into account availability of measuring instruments;

- Design figure records logically and keep record of all findings;

- Conduct measurements according to plan to complete data or examine collected data.

Step 5.1. Determine strategic spots of measurement

During measurement, sensors must be installed in order to reflect necessity or figures that need to be controlled. E.g. in order to measure illuminance in offices, lux meters must be installed at an approximate height of 0.8 m from the floor, thermometer must be installed at an approximate height of 1.1 m and sensors for measuring pressure and traffic in vents must be positioned in places according to technical documents.

Regarding measurement of traffic, standard holes, pipes and stands for measurement are prepared. In case measurement spots are not prepared, accounting groups must install measuring holes and necessary equipment or utilize sonar measuring instruments. Additional anemometers or measuring vanes are usually not installed on the inside of water pipes. In such cases, accounting groups may utilize available equipment namely measuring pipes located before and after pumps, measure pressure of the flow, calculate flow rate and employ charts highlighting relation between pressure/flow rate of pumps, valves, pipes, etc. and those of other systems with similar size.

Step 5.2. Install measuring instruments

The majority of data and characteristics of equipment/equipment systems can be collected from architects and operational and maintenance technicians. However, accounts must rely on necessary measuring instruments for temperature, pressure, flow, illuminance, electric current, voltage, etc. Common measuring instruments in energy accounting are listed under Schedule 2.

Schedule 2. Common measuring instruments serving energy accounting

Step 6. Analyze gathered data

Accounting groups upon collecting information on:

- Characteristics of equipment/equipment systems via field survey;

- Operational data of equipment/equipment systems via records;

- Operational data of equipment/equipment systems via field measurement;

- Operation conditions of equipment/equipment systems based on design documents and/or other relevant technical documents.

On the basis of collected figures, accounting groups must screen and combine the figures with values, analyze possible deviation trends compared to figures that must be or can be achieved by equipment/equipment systems. That is potential energy-saving opportunities.  Although, cautious analysis of possible deviation in case of changes to operational modes or other activities is required.

Step 6.1. Determine potentials for energy saving

In order to determine implementation solutions for discovered energy-saving potentials, accounting groups must calculate in order to prove each renovation solution proposed for implementation by energy-saving quota.  Energy-saving solutions are commonly separated into 3 groups:

Article 6.2. Determine investment expenditure

When calculating effectiveness of adopting energy-saving opportunities, accounting groups must determine payback period, net present value (NPV) or internal rate of return (IRR). The majority of calculations may employ basic payback period approach by dividing investment expenditure for energy-saving opportunities by value of energy saved and the result shall be basic payback period by year.  Although, in case of significant differences between shifts in energy price and interest or in case investment expenditure for energy-saving opportunities appears unreasonable in different stages compared with energy-saving capacity that can be achieved from time to time, accounting groups must assess life cycle cost to get a better understanding of effectiveness of investment for energy-saving opportunities.

Step 6.3. Standardize data

Measurement readings may not occur on the same day each month on energy procurement invoices. For a more accurate comparison especially when different fuel types are measured over several days to calculate invoices, the data must be normalized similar to data of normal days.

Step 6.4. Ensure normal operation of technology processes

Perform energy accounting to improve energy efficiency. However, an energy-saving opportunity must not worsen operational quality of equipment/equipment systems or lower equipment/equipment systems below design standards.

II. LEVEL OF DETAIL OF ENERGY ACCOUNTING

Level of detail of energy accounting must relate to accounting scope and level of detail of surveys that must be conducted and findings that must be analyzed. Based on allocated resources, size of subjects of energy accounting and purpose of energy accounting sessions, accountants shall choose appropriate energy accounting methods and levels. Accountants may choose any of the 2 levels of survey and assessment for energy accounting:

a) Overall survey and assessment;

b) Specific survey and assessment.

In general, energy accounting consists of simple research on a piece of primary equipment/a group of primary equipments; then comes thorough research on all equipment/groups of equipment in manufacturing processes of enterprises.

2.1. Overall survey and assessment

These activities require minimal resources to examine energy-saving opportunities that may have been previously estimated and potentially available for adoption. Accounting groups shall perform a quick survey. Pay attention to certain primary equipment/groups of equipment using energy namely boilers, heaters, chillers, engines, operational and use methods of lighting systems, etc. when conducting overall surveys.   Consult catalogues of equipment, records on operation and repair manuals for rapid localization of underperforming equipment/groups of equipment.  Perform simple calculations to evaluate energy-saving capability when adopting energy-saving solutions.  The survey shall take only up to 2 days and shall be performed by an accountant or a small group of accountants depending on the size and complexity of technology process and survey scope.   Simple necessary measuring instruments are mercury thermometers, multi-purpose gauges and lux meters.

In this step, accounting groups must identify requirements for specific survey and assessment for groups of equipment/workshops/whole enterprises.

2.2. Specific survey and assessment

Accounting groups shall examine most of the equipment/groups of equipment in great detail in order to detect as many energy-saving opportunities as possible, classify by groups and submit plans proposing implementation to heads of enterprises. Specific survey and assessment usually take 5 to 10 times as long as overall survey and assessment depending on complexity of equipment/equipment systems and size of subjects of accounting sessions.
