Evaluation of Energy Performance for an Institutional Building and Proposing Remedial Measures
Subscribe/Renew Journal
Currently India is one of the major energy consumer among the developing nations globally. Buildings in India generally are responsible for at least 30-40% of energy use and this demand is growing annually almost twice the average electricity growth in the economy. Green buildings leave a lighter footprint on the environment through conservation of resources and at the same time are energy-efficient and cost-effective. Energy efficiency is the first step towards achieving sustainability in buildings. Energy efficiency helps in controlling rising energy costs, reduce environmental footprints and increase the value and competitiveness of buildings.
The following paper will focus on the utilization of alternative sources of renewable energy for satisfying the energy demand in an institutional building. The primary aim is to assess the energy performance, based on monitored data for the existing institutional building and thus demonstrating the potential for energy conservation and thereby proposing optimised energy conservative techniques and also studying the feasibility and effectiveness of those techniques both energy and cost wise.
