It maps energy use, identifies inefficiencies and improvement opportunities, supports regulatory compliance, and can help companies access energy-efficiency incentives. ## Page details - **Source language:** Italian - **Content type:** Page - **Original title:** Diagnosi Energetica Aziendale | Orange Start - **English title:** Corporate Energy Audit | Orange Start - **Source URL:** https://weeg.it/soluzioni-energetiche-per-aziende/consulenza-energetica-aziende/diagnosi-energetica/ - **Summary:** Detailed analysis of company energy consumption, performance indicators, efficiency opportunities, regulatory obligations, incentives, sector applications, and measured case studies. ## What the energy audit does The energy audit provides a detailed study of energy consumption across production phases and departments. It can build an energy model organized by cost centers or individual utilities, derive performance indicators, and identify where interventions are needed to improve process efficiency. The audit is presented as a starting point for an energy-optimization strategy. The page states that it can help reduce energy costs and provide access to public incentives. It is mandatory for entities subject to Article 8 of Legislative Decree 102/2014. ## Orange Start service Orange Start is Whitenergy's energy audit service. It is carried out by Energy Management Experts (EGE) certified under UNI CEI 11339. The service can identify the consumption of production departments or individual utilities, such as thermal plants and compressor rooms, using portable instrumentation and real measurement campaigns. The page states that Orange Start complies with Legislative Decree 102/2014 and can support access to energy-efficiency incentives including TEE, Conto Termico, and regional calls for funding. Key service features described on the page include: - Energy audit certified by EGE experts. - Technical analysis based on real data. - Economic plan with investment scenarios. - Regulatory compliance and access to incentives. ## Sectors addressed Orange Start is presented for several energy-intensive or operationally diverse sectors: - **Industrial materials:** analysis of energy use in production departments, identification of inefficiencies, and proposed interventions to improve overall energy performance. - **Chemical:** identification of losses and waste in thermal and electrical processes, with the aim of improving sustainability and reducing operating costs. - **Textile:** monitoring of energy use in dyeing, drying, and finishing to optimize consumption and support access to incentives. - **Manufacturing:** energy audits for machinery and production lines, with intervention plans based on real data and field measurements. - **Food:** assessment of energy efficiency across production, processing, and storage, with measures to reduce consumption and improve control. - **Agriculture:** analysis of energy use in greenhouses, milking systems, and ventilation systems, with interventions for efficiency and sustainability. - **Healthcare:** audits for hospitals and healthcare facilities, focusing on HVAC systems, lighting, and domestic hot-water production to reduce costs and consumption. - **ICT and digital technologies:** support for data centers and digital infrastructure in obtaining a certified energy audit. ## Case study: Alkeemia SpA Alkeemia SpA is described as a chemical plant in Porto Marghera, Venice, specializing in hydrofluoric acid production. The plant has high electrical and thermal energy demand. Before the intervention, the site recorded approximately **13,000 toe/year of electricity consumption** and **4,400 toe/year of natural-gas consumption**. High cooling requirements and thermal loads left significant room for efficiency improvements. Following the Orange Start energy audit, the page reports targeted actions including: - EGE-certified Orange Start energy audit. - Cogeneration upgrade with cooling production. - Compressed-air efficiency intervention, with a reported saving of **50 toe/year**. - New high-efficiency chiller, with a reported saving of **500 toe/year**. - Reported overall saving of **1,150 toe/year**, approximately **€150,000/year**. ## Case study: Heineken SpA The page describes a Heineken beer-production site in Comun Nuovo, Bergamo, with a particularly energy-intensive profile. Before the intervention, the plant recorded approximately **2,500 toe/year of electricity consumption**. The production process used large machinery, while cooling required the circulation of large volumes of cooling-tower water. Following the Orange Start energy audit, the page reports: - EGE-certified Orange Start energy audit. - Optimization of the wort-evaporation phase, with a reported saving of approximately **160 toe/year**. - Reported overall monetary saving of approximately **€76,500/year**. ## Frequently asked questions ### Who is required to carry out an energy audit? Large enterprises and energy-intensive companies as defined by Legislative Decree 102/2014 are identified as subject to the requirement. The page also presents Orange Start as suitable for companies that are not legally required to perform an audit but want to improve energy efficiency, reduce costs, and manage energy more sustainably. ### What does Orange Start include? The service includes energy audits aimed both at meeting regulatory obligations under Legislative Decree 102/2014 and at identifying the consumption of specific departments or systems through portable instrumentation and representative measurement campaigns. ### Who performs the energy audit? The audit is performed by Energy Management Experts (EGE) certified under UNI CEI 11339 and experienced in industrial and plant engineering. The page describes the analysis as professional, independent, and compliant with applicable regulations. ### What does the final audit report include? The final report includes a detailed analysis of consumption, identification of inefficiencies, proposed technical interventions, estimates of energy and economic savings, and investment scenarios. ## Relevant links - [Request Orange Start](https://weeg.it/contact/) - [Download the Orange Start brochure (PDF)](https://weeg.it/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/WE_Scheda_Orange_WEB-2.pdf) - [Chemical and pharmaceutical sector](https://weeg.it/soluzioni-energetiche-per-settori-aziendali/settore-chimico-farmaceutico/) - [Textile sector](https://weeg.it/soluzioni-energetiche-per-settori-aziendali/settore-tessile/) - [Manufacturing sector](https://weeg.it/soluzioni-energetiche-per-settori-aziendali/settore-manifatturiero/) - [Food sector](https://weeg.it/soluzioni-energetiche-per-settori-aziendali/settore-alimentare/) - [Agricultural sector](https://weeg.it/soluzioni-energetiche-per-settori-aziendali/settore-agricolo/) - [Healthcare sector](https://weeg.it/soluzioni-energetiche-per-settori-aziendali/settore-sanitario/) - [ICT and digital technologies sector](https://weeg.it/soluzioni-energetiche-per-settori-aziendali/settore-ict-e-tecnologie-digitali/)
