Title:          Conservation of electrical energy on SET-JU campus through auditing and optimal alternative techniques
Authors:      Padmini V.
Abstract:     An energy audit is a study of plant or facility to determine how and where energy is used and to identify methods for energy savings. If we reduce the energy usage or improve the energy efficiency in a building, energy can be conserved and some of the resulting environmental problems such as green house effect, ozone depletion can be alleviated. In this work an attempt is being made to ascertain energy utilization effectiveness at our premier university environment that is in our Campus School of Engineering and technology, Jain University. The effort shall be focused on creating a value stream map that is a lean manufacturing technique used to analyse and design the flow of materials and information required to bring a product or service to consumer of the energy flow across the university infrastructure. This shall involve measurement of efficiency related to major energy utilities such as heating, lighting and plumbing loads.Furthermore, data collected from these measurements shall be evaluated to determine efficiency and commercially viable solution or recommendation shall be proposed to improve existing efficiency.For the recommendations proposed payback period will be calculated. Through our work we would also emphasize on the importance of sustainability concept based on energy audit..
