TS EN 16247-4
Energy audits - Part 4: Transport
This document is used in conjunction with and is supplementary to EN 16247-1, Energy audits – Part 1: General requirements. It provides additional requirements to EN 16247-1 and is applied simultaneously. The procedures described here apply to the different modes of transport (road, rail, marine and aviation), as well as the different ranges (local- to long-distance) and what is transported (i.e. goods and people). This document specifies the requirements, methodology and deliverables specific to energy audits in the transport sector, every situation in which a displacement is made, no matter who the operator is (a public or private company or whether the operator is exclusively dedicated to transport or not), is also addressed in this document. This document advises on both the optimization of energy within each mode of transport, as well as selecting the best mode of transport in each situation; the conclusions drawn by the energy audit can influence decisions on infrastructure and investment e.g. in teleconferencing or web meetings. Energy audits of buildings and processes associated with transport can be conducted respectively with the EN 16247-2 Buildings and EN 16247-3 Processes, e.g. pipelines, depots and escalators/travelators. This part of the standard does not include the infrastructure which supplies energy e.g. the electricity generation of energy for railways.

About This Item
TS EN 16247-4 defines the transport-specific layer of energy auditing that is added to EN 16247-1. It addresses energy audits across road, rail, marine and aviation transport, and it is intended for both passenger and freight movements over local and long-distance operations.
How transport energy audits are framed
In general technical terms, transport energy performance depends on vehicle or vessel efficiency, load factor, route planning, operating profile, waiting time, and the logistics behind the service. This part of EN 16247 sets out the extra requirements, methodology and deliverables for audits in the transport sector, so the assessment can cover not only individual vehicles but also the way a transport service is organised and delivered. It also supports decisions on whether energy should be reduced within a mode or whether another mode is the better option in a given case.
What is outside the scope
- It excludes the energy-supply infrastructure itself, such as electricity generation for railways.
- Buildings and industrial-like processes linked to transport are handled under EN 16247-2 and EN 16247-3 respectively.
- The document applies regardless of whether the operator is public or private, or dedicated solely to transport.
- It supplements EN 16247-1 rather than replacing the general audit framework.
