2. AGENDA
 WHAT IS ENERGY?
 TYPES OF ENERGY
 WHY TO CONSERVE?
 WHAT CAN WE DO?
 ENERGY CONSERVATION
IN INDIA

3. WHAT IS ENERGY ?
 Energy is ability or capacity to do work.
 Energy lights our homes, cities, powers our
vehicles, and runs machinery in factories. It
warms and cools our homes, cooks our food,
plays our music, and gives us pictures on
television and pumps water.

4. What is Energy Management?
 Energy management is doing more with the
same amount of energy or less energy.
 Energy management saves money and makes
buildings more comfortable, healthy, and safe.

5. Efficiency vs. Conservation
Efficiency
 Energy efficiency involves
the use of technology that
requires less energy to
perform the same function.
 Focuses on the equipment
or machinery being used
 One example is installing
LED light bulbs throughout
the house
Conservation
 Energy conservation
includes any behavior that
results in the use of less
energy.
 Focuses on the behavior of
people
 One example is using
daylighting through
windows rather than
turning on the lights

6. Benefits of Energy Management
 Reduces consumption
 Increases comfort & safety
 Reduces pollution
 Makes our economy stronger
 Increases our energy security

7. Energy Efficiency Program
 National symbol for
energy efficiency
 Products and/or buildings
must meet certain
standards to display label
 For homes & businesses

9. WHY TO CONSERVE IT ?
Limited resources
Demands continuously increasing
Non-renewable resources will exhaust
We have to switch over to alternate energy

10. We save our money when
we save energy.
We reduce pollution when
we save energy.
We save our energy when
we save energy.

14. WHAT WE CAN DO ?
 RECYCLE - Waste materials into new products to
prevent waste of potentially useful materials.
 Turn off all electronic devices that are not in use. Not
only turn them off but try to remember to unplug
them. You will be surprised how much you will save
with this simple step!
 Replace old light bulbs with energy saving fluorescent
bulbs. They may cost more, but will save you much
more in the long run.

21. At Home
•We should not keep lights
unnecessarily switched on.
• Reduce the energy your
appliances consume by analyzing
star ratings.
• Improve your water heating
efficiency to reduce energy costs.
At Public
Places
• Switch of fans and lights in bus
stands and railway stations when
not necessary.
• Switch off street lights.
• Big Hoardings, lightened up for
whole evening and nights are
other wastage of power which
can be and should be avoided

22. HOW WILL IT HELP ?
 Let’s Take an simple example :
• let us assume electricity is available for Rs.4.00 per unit , a
100 watt bulb is used for 8 hrs a day then:
•If we replace a 100 watt bulb with 22 watt CFL ,
• The annual saving would be…
• Power saved : 100W– W = 78W

24. ENERGY CONSERVATION
IN INDIA
 About 70% of India's energy generation capacity is from fossil
fuels, with coal accounting for 40% of India's total energy
consumption followed by crude oil and natural gas at 24% and
6% respectively. India is largely dependent on fossil fuel
imports to meet its energy demands.
 By 2030, India's dependence on energy imports is expected
to exceed 53% of the country's total energy consumption. In
2009-10, the country imported 159.26 million tonnes of crude
oil which amount to 80% of its domestic crude oil consumption
and 31% of the country's total imports are oil imports. The
growth of electricity generation in India has been hindered by
domestic coal shortages[ and as a consequence, India's coal
imports for electricity generation increased by 18% in 2010

25. How Efficient are we?
 The least efficient educational institutions use 3 times
more energy than the best energy performers.
Luckily, energy is a manageable expense.

26. When we look for ways to save energy, we
must keep in mind:
 Health and safety of
the occupants.
 Indoor air quality –
adequate ventilation.
 Comfort of the
occupants.

27.  Building Envelope
 Air
 Lighting
 Electric Appliances

28. Any part of the building
which creates a boundary
between indoor and
outdoor space.
 Walls
 Roofs
 Ceilings
 Doors
 Windows
The Building Envelope

29. Envelope should limit:
 Amount of thermal energy
conducting through.
 Facilitate air movement in and
out of building.

33. Fluorescent

34.  Miniature fluorescent with built
in ballast
 Ideal for replacement of
incandescent lamps
 Saves up to75% on energy
use
 Lasts 7-10 times longer than
an incandescent
 Low thermal energy output
 Improved color rendition
Compact Fluorescent

35. Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs)
 Energy Star bulbs rated
at 25,000 hours.
 Can use up to 50% less
energy than a CFL.
 Widespread use over the
next 20 years could
reduce lighting energy
demand by 33%.
 Currently more
expensive to purchase
compared to
incandescent and CFLs.
