ENERGY AUDIT

What does it take to make Green ???

Sustainable Development

Use of Resources

to meet our

needs without

depriving the

resources for

future

generations

Energy

Water

Air

Materials

Natural Resources

WHAT IS A SUSTAINABLE BUILDING?

Uses key resources more efficiently – energy, water, materials and land

Reduces ecological loading – greenhouse gases, ozone-depleting substances, wastes

Creates healthier environments for people to live, work and learn

Has lower overall lifecycle costs

ENERGY AUDIT

‘Energy Audit’ :inspection, survey and analysis of energy flows for energy conservation in a building, process or system to reduce the amount of energy input into the system without negatively affecting the output(s)

Industry based:

Minimize energy costs

Reduce environmental effects

Benchmark: unexpected or excessive costs

The type of Energy Audit to be performed depends on:

Function and type of industry

Depth to which final audit is needed

Potential and magnitude of cost reduction desired

Thus Energy Audit can be classified into the following two types

1. Preliminary Audit 2. Detailed Audit

WHY DBIT?

OBJECTIVES OF THE AUDIT

Reduction in

electricity bill by 60%

Reduction in Carbon

footprint of the campus

COST REDUCTION

Vital Few 10% case having 65% Impact

Medium Some 30% case

having 15% Impact

Trivial Many 60% case

having 20% Impact

WHAT IS CARBON FOOTPRINT

Measure of the impact our activities have on the environment, and in particular climate change.

Relates to the amount of GHG’s produced in our day-to-day lives.

The pie chart above shows the main elements whichmake up the total of an typical person's carbon footprint in the developed world.

“Warming of the climate system is unequivocal, as is now evident from increases in global average air and ocean temperatures, melting of snow and ice, and rising sea level.”

Global Warming

SOURCES OF GHG’S

Burning fossil fuels for electricity. Transportation Water

WHAT CAN YOU DO?

Calculate and understand your “carbon footprint”

Reduce your use of energy.

Look for ways to use renewable energy

Support efforts by all who encourage Energy efficiency Renewables
