University laboratory power audit study with conservation recommendation

Reducing electricity consumption in commercial buildings is important in addressing the growing concerns of global warming, atmospheric quality and energy security. Energy audit is a proven effective measure for energy savings through identification of energy management opportunities for improvement by means of buildings. The energy study of various sector of commercial, industrial and residential area indicates that considerable amount of the energy can be saved. The power auditing is done in the university laboratory and it is recommended and proposed new layout for the laboratory with energy efficient technologies.
