BS EN 16247-5:2015EN 16247-5:2015 (E) 4 Introduction An energy au
23、dit is an important step for an organization, whatever its size or type, wanting to improve its energy efficiency, reduce its energy consumption and bring related economic and/or environmental benefits. Confidence in the energy audit process and the ability to achieve its objectives depends on the c
24、ompetence of the energy auditor. This European Standard specifies the competence that the energy auditor needs in order to effectively implement the requirements of EN 16247-1, which may be supplemented by the sector specific parts EN 16247-2, EN 16247-3 or EN 16247-4. This European standard seeks t
25、o harmonize training, skills and experience needed by the energy auditor(s) to bring adequate quality to energy auditing services. Competence applies to an individual but would also apply to a team or group of auditors where a wide range of skills is needed. Where the energy auditor is not an indivi
26、dual, a member of the energy auditing team needs to be nominated as lead energy auditor. The energy auditors skills, experience and attributes are personal. However larger sites, installations and more complex organizations may need the skills of a variety of technical experts working together. If a
27、n energy audit team is appointed, it should be composed of a lead auditor and technical experts, as necessary, to meet the technical competence requirements. The energy audit team approach does not dilute the need for all of the individual attributes noted in the following clauses. The requirements
28、included in this standard should enable the energy auditor to understand the organizations aims, needs and expectations concerning the energy audit.

This European Standard also recognizes that all the
36、competence required can reside in the energy auditor or a team of energy auditors. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable for its application.
