EPA To Regulate The Energy Consumption at the Facility-A Real Time Case Study

Energy is the driving force for any action. It has to be utilized in an optimized manner so as to sustain the long term existence of its primary source. To achieve this, unwanted generation and its utilization must be avoided to the extent possible. Energy performance assessment is one of the major path through which the energy consumption pattern can be understood and its utilization can be regulated so as to achieve its sustainability objective. Building sector is one of the prime energy consumption sector which needs to be focused so as to regulate the energy consumption. In this paper energy performance assessment at one of the premier educational institutions located at Lat. 13.62°N; Long. 79.29°E; Alt. 226 M and consisting 10 buildings, 41 floors and 455 rooms is performed to estimate the total energy consumption of the facility both grid and captive power generation month wise over a period of two-years during 2021-2022. The following energy performance indices terms EPI, AAHEPI, PPC, ILER and LPD are evaluated to identify the areas of energy wastage and estimate energy regulating potential in the institute central facilities. Measures have been suggested to effectively improve the efficiency of energy use.
