registered energy managers and certified
energy auditors to be widely enforced.
Energy managers can be used to regulate
the system used for reporting energy
consumption data, specific energy indices,
and production and energy demand
forecasts to the relevant authorities.
b. Mandatory energy audits, in the form of
walk-through audits, are essential for
the industrial sector to have a better
understanding of the current status of end-
use energy efficiency. A walk-through audit is
a basic and cost-effective exercise to identify
opportunities for energy cost savings.
c. Fiscal policies to provide incentives may
include: import or sales tax exemption
for energ y- efficient equipment and
energy efficiency services, accelerated
depreciation, grants and the establishment
of investment bank lending criteria to
promote energy efficiency.
For existing incentives, simplified
