Energy Fire Safety Audit
At PurityElec, we provide comprehensive Energy Fire Safety Audits to ensure your facility operates efficiently while meeting the highest fire safety standards.
Our audit combines energy efficiency assessments with fire safety inspections, helping you minimize risks, reduce costs, and comply with regulations.
What is an Energy Fire Safety Audit?
An Energy Fire Safety Audit is a dual-purpose evaluation that:
1. Identifies energy wastage and suggests improvements for efficiency.
2. Assesses fire risks within your electrical and energy systems, recommending measures to prevent hazards.
By integrating energy and fire safety checks, we ensure your facility is safe, compliant, and cost-effective.
Why is it Important?
• Prevent Electrical Fires – Detect overheating, faulty wiring, and overloading issues.
• Improve Energy Efficiency – Reduce power wastage and optimize consumption.
• Comply with Standards – Meet National Building Code, IS standards, and Fire Department guidelines.
• Enhance Equipment Life – Minimize breakdowns caused by unsafe or inefficient power use.
Our Audit Process
1. Site Inspection – Examine electrical panels, wiring, transformers, and load distribution.
2. Thermal Imaging – Identify overheating components and fire-prone hotspots.
3. Load & Energy Analysis – Check load balancing, power factor, and energy losses.
4. Safety Equipment Review – Inspect fire extinguishers, alarms, and suppression systems.
5. Compliance Verification – Ensure adherence to electrical safety and fire codes.
6. Detailed Report & Recommendations – Provide actionable solutions to enhance both safety and efficiency.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Q1. What is an Energy Fire Safety Audit?
-
Q2. Why combine Energy and Fire Safety Audit?Because energy equipment like transformers, motors, boilers, and electrical panels are also major sources of fire hazards. A combined audit ensures efficiency, safety, and compliance in one assessment.
-
Q3. Who requires an Energy Fire Safety Audit?
- • Manufacturing industries (steel, textiles, cement, chemicals)
- • Commercial buildings (malls, IT parks, offices)
- • Hospitals & educational institutions
- • High-rise buildings and housing complexes
-
Q4. How often should the audit be conducted?Ideally every 1–2 years, or as mandated by statutory authorities for high-risk industries.
-
Q5. What does the Energy part of the audit cover?
- • Electrical systems (transformers, motors, power factor correction)
- • Lighting & HVAC systems
- • Boilers, compressors, and thermal utilities
- • Renewable energy integration & energy conservation opportunities
-
Q6. What does the Fire Safety part of the audit cover?
- • Fire detection & alarm systems
- • Hydrants, sprinklers, extinguishers, pumps
- • Electrical safety (wiring, short-circuit protection, earthing)
- • Emergency exits, evacuation plans, signage, and drills
- • Hazardous material handling & storage
-
Q7. What standards are followed?
- • Energy: Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE), ISO 50001
- • Fire Safety: National Building Code (NBC), NFPA, OSHA, Factories Act, and local fire authority guidelines
-
Q8. How is an Energy Fire Safety Audit conducted?
- • Data collection & document review
- • On-site inspection of electrical & fire systems
- • Measurements using energy analyzers, thermal cameras, lux meters, etc.
- • Risk identification (energy wastage & fire hazards)
- • Staff interaction & awareness assessment
- • Final report with recommendations
-
Q9. What deliverables are provided after the audit?A detailed report with:
- • Energy consumption analysis with saving opportunities
- • Fire safety risk assessment and compliance gaps
- • Recommendations with cost-benefit analysiss
- • Action plan for corrective & preventive measures
- • Emergency preparedness improvement suggestions
-
Q10. Who conducts the audit?Certified Energy Auditors (BEE/ISO certified) along with Fire Safety Professionals (approved by fire departments or accredited safety councils).
-
Q11. What are the benefits of an Energy Fire Safety Audit?
- • Reduced energy costs (5–30% savings potential)
- • Improved equipment reliability & life span
- • Reduced risk of electrical and fire accidents
- • Compliance with statutory requirements
- • Enhanced safety, sustainability, and corporate reputation
-
Q12. Is an Energy Fire Safety Audit mandatory?For Designated Consumers (DCs) under the Energy Conservation Act, Energy Audit is mandatory. For fire safety, most state fire authorities mandate annual or periodic audits for high-risk buildings and industries. A combined Energy Fire Safety Audit ensures compliance with both.
