Abstract

Energy audit process including the computation of energy per hour, day, week and calendar month used in Oleh campus ofDelta State University Abraka, was discussed in this paper. Energy waste and valuation and capability of savings were ascertained through walk-through energy audit. Similarly, comprehensive assessment of the data point compiled was ensured by proposing gainful methods for energy usage. The outcomes and other essential knowledge engendered were recorded. The energy auditing for a day is the indicator of the utilization that regulates crises by making available maintenance arrangements. The campus needs 20530.95 kW of electricity per hour costing N1, 113, 598.728. The running charges for a 4 hours power supply for Engineering and Law faculties and other areas in a year will amount to N53, 452, 738.944 resulting in the following break-down 34.7%, 20.5%, 17.3%, 11.7%, 15.8% engineering, law, hostels, administrative block and lodges consumption respectively
