Energy status, performance, management and conservation

Abstract

Energy wastage is a serious issue in industries and office buildings. Around 40% of energy is consumed for HVAC systems and 15% of energy is consumed for lighting systems. Lighting is one area where energy can be conserved. But before that there arises a necessity to know the measures and policies and the need for the energy conservation. The main aim of the paper is to give an overall view of the process involved from setting the status, measures and policies to implementing the policies through audits and come out with new methods to achieve energy conservation for lighting systems.
