Abstract
The industrial energy diagnosis presented in this work occurred in a milk product cooperative, from an analysis of energy consumption in the main milk industrialization and a diagnosis of energy end uses of lighting and cooling systems. Almost all stages of milk industrialization are used hot water and steam generated in the boilers. The largest electricity consumption in this sector is by electric motors followed by cooling needed to maintain the quality of milk products. Because energy costs represent a significant portion of the monthly cost of the company, an analysis of the energy costs of the past two years to check the consumption of active and reactive energy and power demand contracted is performed. This paper presents the main results of an energy audit in a milk processing industry in southern Brazil.

Summary
Energy is one of the basic pillars of mankind’s evolution, being as important as water and today as well as information. The economic growth of the vast majority of countries is directly proportional to the increase in energy consumption [1]. In this sense, a challenge in the modern world is to uncouple the growth of economic activities, in various fields, from energy consumption. A challenge in the modern world is to uncouple the growth of economic activities, in various fields, from energy consumption Relief from this scenario can be achieved through better rationalization of energy use and greater application of energy audits and techniques to control energy con-. Energy auditing can be seen as a diagnosis of what can be done to make energy consumption more efficient and can be seen as a measure of what has been done to improve energy efficiency
