During August 2002, the Prime Minister announced that all government organisations should bring down their energy consumption by 30 per cent and private organisations by 20 per cent, over a period of next five years, by conducting comprehensive energy audit studies in their premises, to be followed by implementation of the suggestions/recommendations arising out of the study. As a first step towards implementing the above, the Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE) was given the task of identifying and executing the above study in 10–13 government-owned buildings. In this context, the BEE has formed teams, consisting of energy auditors and energy service companies (ESCOs) to conduct the comprehensive energy audit study simultaneously in the above buildings. Rail Bhavan was one of the buildings identified for the study.
