Capstone: Audit a Dairy
A full, staged energy audit of a fictional liquid-milk dairy: scope it, walk the plant through a spring-flush year of data, and rank what you find.

Everything in this course comes together here. Alderbrook Dairy: a 150 million litre/year liquid-milk site with tanker reception, separators, two HTST pasteurisers, a UHT line, an ammonia plant with an ice bank, nightly CIP and chilled despatch, has never had a holistic energy audit. Costs are up, the retailers want a carbon plan, the sector CCA's target period is live, and the cows are about to deliver their spring flush through the middle of your data. You're running the audit, stage by stage, exactly as a real engagement would unfold.
