6Energy reviews and audits

UPES reviews where it uses the most energy, so that savings can be targeted where waste is highest.

Impact

Energy audits and a greenhouse gas inventory show where energy use and waste are highest.

  • The inventory tracks diesel generators, LPG, vehicles, refrigerants, grid electricity and air travel.
  • Audit findings feed the energy efficiency plan and building upgrades.

Measuring energy and emissions

An ISO 14064-1 greenhouse gas inventory by Colliers covers June 2023 to May 2025, tracking diesel generators, LPG, vehicles, refrigerants, grid electricity and air travel. Grid electricity use rose from about 45.2 lakh kWh to 51.0 lakh kWh, while refrigerant emissions fell by a third.Source: Energy audit and GHG inventory (PDF)

The audit's roadmap shows that adding 600 kWp of on-site solar would cut direct emissions by more than 15%, and 1,650 kWp would cut total emissions by more than 15% by 2029.

As the Energy, Environment & Sustainability Policy requires, these periodic audits serve as energy reviews. They show where UPES uses the most energy and creates the most emissions: grid electricity first, followed by refrigerants from air-conditioning, LPG in kitchens and diesel generators. That analysis shapes where savings are targeted, through on-site solar, renewable power purchases where rooftop space is limited, and the lighting and HVAC upgrades in the Climate Action Plan.
