Energy Auditing in academic institution has the opportunities to improve the energy efficiency of the campus. Reduction of energy consumption, maintaining human comfort, health and safety issues are of primary concern. An energy audit is a study of plant/organization or institute to determine the efficient use of energy. The report accounts for the energy consumption patterns of the academic area, central facilities and hostels based on actual survey and detailed analysis during the audit. The work of auditing encompasses the area wise, application wise and equipment wise consumption traced using suitable auditing equipment. The paper compiles a list of possible actions to conserve and efficiently access the available scarce resources and their saving potential is also identified. This study recommends the change in human behaviour towards optimization that the authorities, students and staff would follow the recommendations in the best possible way. |
