Energy Audit-A Clean, Alternative and Cost-Effective Way to Replace Conventional Energy

Environmental threats like global warming and climatic change, increased concern about future energy along with the advancement in renewable energies has fueled the growth of sustainable energies in India. Life without electrical energy is inevitable. As these resources are confined, it is our moral and social responsibility to secure energy for future use. In context of this, the paper studies the way of energy utilization and identifies the fields where minimum energy wastage is possible. The amount of energy consumption within a building with its old equipment is compared with that by replacing it with new conventional equipment with a lower rate of energy consumption. Moreover, comparison of energy consumption is accomplished by replacing conventional energy resources with non-conventional resources like solar, wind, and biogas energy.
