Abstract

An energy audit is a study of a plant or facility to determine how and where energy is used and to identify different ways for energy savings. There is now a universal recognition of the fact that recent technologies and much greater use of some that already exist provide the most hopeful prospects for the future. The good fortune lies in the use of existing renewable energy technologies, greater attempts at energy efficiency and the dissemination of these technologies and options. This energy audit of the Engineering College building academic area and the hostels was gained out by the student of the Department of Energy Science Engineering as a part of the course work for the dissertation. This report is just one step, a mere mile marker towards our goal of achieving energy efficiency and we would like to highlight that an energy audit is a continuous process. We have compiled a list of attainable actions to conserve and efficiently utilize our scarce resources and identified their savings potential. The next step would be to program their implementation. We look forward with optimism that the institute authorities, staff and students shall ensure the maximum application of the recommendations and the success of this work.
