In this work, an audit of energy use and the indoor climate in anindustrial property has been carried out and measures taken that canimprove these aspects have been investigated. The property that wasstudied in this project is Munters factory in Tobo. Munters is aninternational company working in AirTech and FoodTech and thefactory in Tobo is the only Swedish Munters factory. The factoryproduces aggregates for dehumidifying air and the material used fordehumidification. The facility has office landscapes, assembly workand production. Today, the factory has an indoor climate that varieswith the seasons, with high temperatures in summer and lowtemperatures in winter. A more constant indoor climate is desired. The audit of energy consumption shows that the energy consumptionfor the year 2019 was approximately 8033 MWh, of which electricityconsumption accounts for 77% and gas consumption for 23%. However,the lack of sub-meters in the plant has made it difficult toidentify exactly how much of the electricity and gas consumptiongoes to heating, ventilation and business processes. Consequently,some estimates and observations have been made to map how energy useis distributed. The indoor climate in the office parts of the plant has during mostof the measurement period had an air temperature within 20-25 °Cand a relative humidity within 20-70%. On extremely cold and hotdays, the temperature and relative humidity may fall outside thespecified ranges. In production, high temperatures were measuredabove 30 °C during summer and temperatures down to 15 °C duringwinter.
