# Commission Implementing Decision of 28 February 2012 establishing the best available techniques (BAT) conclusions under Directive 2010/75/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council on industrial emissions for iron and steel production (notified under document C(2012) 903) (Text with EEA relevance) (2012/135/EU), Division: Description of BAT I.i

Extent: E+W+S+N.I.

The following items are important for integrated steelworks in order to improve the overall energy efficiency:
optimising energy consumption
online monitoring for the most important energy flows and combustion processes at the site including the monitoring of all gas flares in order to prevent energy losses, enabling instant maintenance and achieving an undisrupted production process
reporting and analysing tools to check the average energy consumption of each process
defining specific energy consumption levels for relevant processes and comparing them on a long-term basis
carrying out energy audits as defined in the Energy Efficiency BREF, e.g. to identify cost-effective energy savings opportunities.
