Electrical energy audit in a Uka Tarsadia University — A case study

Energy demand escalating pressure for any government. For developing country like India, the energy generated decides economic development of country. Energy conservation can be the best solution for the raising energy demand. Energy audit is the best solution for the energy conservation. The energy audit show that the building of Uka Tarsadia University devoted a monthly average electrical energy of 1.3 laces kWh and having a potential to save 0.3 laces kWh of energy, a 21% electrical energy saving potential The energy audit was carried out on the lighting system, air conditioning system and PC'S and fan in UTU the systems consuming 11%, 37% and 34% of total electrical energy consume by UTU respectively and the equipment were found to be operating at low energy efficiency. [1] The benefits of implementing the energy efficiency measures in buildings are considerable both in terms of energy savings and cost savings.
