Thermal energy efficiency improvement typically offers the biggest scope for energy cost saving in industry. Thermal energy audit involves systematic and detailed analysis of the performance of thermal energy equipment and systems of a facility, and to benchmark against the system’s design performance.
This ITEA course consists of 3-day modules. Participants need to demonstrate the learning outcomes of all modules in order to obtain the certification.
Up to 50% of industrial thermal energy input are finally lost as waste heat in exhaust gases, cooling water, heated surfaces and in products/byproducts (US-DoE). Thermal energy efficiency improvement typically offers among the biggest scope for energy cost saving in industry. By benchmarking process and equipment performances, identifying inefficiencies and implementing targeted measures involving optimization of operating parameters and equipment upgrades, significant cost savings and emission reduction can be achieved. Regular monitoring and maintenance of optimal operations ensure sustained energy cost savings, GHG emission reduction and compliance with regulations.
This course aims to equip participants with practical concepts, principles, tools and systematic techniques to conduct energy audit, benchmark and analyse the thermal energy efficiency of industrial processes and utility systems, and effectively apply the tools and techniques for thermal energy cost saving measures.
1. Improve the energy efficiency of a facility’s thermal energy system.
2. Reduce the facility’s thermal energy costs and GHG emissions.
3. Prepare the organisation for setting up of energy management system.
4. Raise competitiveness through thermal energy management expertise.
1. Apply the insights, principles and the big picture of industrial energy audit.
2. Perform material and energy balances for practical industrial thermal energy analysis.
3. Apply the tools to analyse steam properties.
4. Apply the key criteria for fuel selection and combustion.
5. Determine the energy performance of thermal energy system components
6. Use calculator/spreadsheet to explore improvement opportunities.
7. Apply no cost, low cost and practical strategies to improve performance of thermal energy system.

Prof Ir Ts Dr Zainuddin Abdul Manan is currently the chair of the EECA (Energy Efficiency and Conservation Act) Thermal Energy drafting committee under the Malaysian Ministry of Energy. He founded and spearheaded the UTM Sustainable Energy Management initiative that led UTM to achieve more than USD 6 million energy savings between 2011 and 2019, and to win the ASEAN Energy Award in 2012.
Prof Ir Dr Sharifah Rafidah Wan Alwi specialises in process systems engineering with emphasis on process integration and resource conservation. She is a certified ASEAN Energy Management Scheme (AEMAS) Energy Manager trainer and a Registered Electrical Energy Manager under Malaysia Energy Commission. She is currently the energy advisor for UTM Energy Management System.
Associate Professor Ir Dr Lim Jeng Shiun has been extensively involved in 22 research projects, 11 industrial based projects for various companies and government agencies. The key clients include local industries and multinational companies such as BERNAS, FABER MEDISERVE, SHELL, OLEON in Malaysia and PERTAMINA in Indonesia. He has assisted those companies identify energy saving opportunities worth millions of dollar through the use of process integration and process systems engineering approach.
