Abstract
An energy audit is a survey in which the study of energy flows for the purpose of conservation is examined at an Organization. It refers to a system analysis that seeks to reduce the amount of energy used in an Organization without impacting the output. The audit includes suggestions of alternative means and remedial methods for achieving energy savings to a greater extent. Conventionally, electrical energy is generated by means of fossil fuels, hydraulic and wind. Exploitation of fossil fuels and their depletion rate, insist the need for alternate energy source and conservation of electric energy. Primary objective of an energy auditing and management of energy consumption is to offer goods or services at the lowest possible cost and with the least amount of environmental impact. The need for an energy audit is to identify the savings potential and cost reducing methods, understand the ways in which fuel is used, where, the waste occurs and find the scope for improvement.Preparation and completion of a questionnaire, physical examination of the campus, observation and examination of documentation, key person interviews, data analysis, measurements and suggestions are all part of the audit processes.In general, energy audit is the translation of conservation ideas into realities, by lending technically feasible solutions with economic and other organizational considerations within a specified time frame.
