ANALYSIS OF ENERGY REQUIREMENT IN THE PUBLIC SECTOR BY USING NEW INOVATIVE TECHNIQUES

Abstract

The International Energy Agency (IEA) recognizes that buildings are the largest consumers of energy worldwide (40 per cent) and will continue to be a source of increasing energy demand in the future. Enhancing energy efficiency in buildings is one of the priority areas recognized by the Government of India. Over the past few years, Bureau of Energy Efficiency has introduced initiatives to promote design of energy-efficient commercial buildings based on Energy Conservation Building Code; energy conservation in buildings and municipalities through performance contracting by Energy Service Companies; adoption of energy-efficient consumer appliances through energy labelling. Date has been the institutionalization of the training activities within the state. To develop institutional capacities and make skilled manpower available at comply with Energy Conservation Building Code. To translate energy-saving opportunities in buildings to tangible benefits, there is a continuous need to encourage public policies, enhance awareness and capacity building, and adopt new trends and technologies.
