How Accurately Energy Audits Estimate the Required Investment in Energy Efficiency Measures?

Energy efficient design is both a design philosophy and a practical technique that has been based on detail energy audit and relevant methodology. Based on the implemented subprojects in Bosnia and Herzegovina, over the last years, increasing effort has been put into the development of energy efficient audit and design. This paper aims to show how accurately have the energy audits predicted the actually realized investment in energy efficiency measures implemented in public buildings. The analysis is performed for different building size, type and location. The need for urgent revision of the current methodology of developing the energy audits has been identified in order to increase the quality of information disclosed.
