ENERGY AUDITING AND ENERGY SAVING MEASURES IN 'ZASTAVA AUTOMOBILI' FACTORY

Abstract

This paper deals with energy audit procedure implemented on only Serbian car manufacturer "Zastava Automobili". Based on the results of energy auditing and performed technological and economical feasibility studies several energy saving measures were proposed. The measures are related to different energy sources: steam, hot water, compressed air, electricity, and water. Such energy efficiency programs reduce energy costs and increase production profitability of the factory.
