Abstract: This paper is the result of the energy audit conducted in Meerut Institute of Engineering And Technology (MIET) as a part of the final year project report. This energy audit will help in finding all the possible areas where energy is wasting and have a high consumption rate than usual. The result of this report shows that how and where the extra energy can be saved in MIET campus .This paper will help the institution in saving a lot of money in the form of electricity bills and help in saving the environment by saving energy and also identify all the possible aspects and points in the institution which will come in consideration so that the waste energy flow can be minimized and also the energy efficient equipments will help the process in making more energy efficient way then before. The proposed methodology will be very beneficial for the institution and by implementing it , the will provide a long term profit to the institution as it may have some high initial cost but will save a lot of energy for years and help the institution in saving cost and this initial investment will recover very in a year. Keywords: Energy audit process, Measurement of energy, college buildings, cost saving, energy saving.
1. INTRODUCTION Energy Audit process is a survey that is conducted to save energy it has two parts in implementation the first is a normal visit to the campus and finding out the problems of excess losses in the campus and the second step is the detailed study of the campus with facts and complete analyses. This consist of applying the different methods and using various devices to find out the patterns of energy losses in the buildings. Energy audit is a process in which a survey, a general walk, a proper study and inspection is done to find out the different ways in which the energy flow can be find out in the building and then to find out the different measures and way to make the loss minimum As the act of 2001 describes that the verification, analyses and using the energy is define as the energy audit principal and it will help in improvement and finding the different ways to reduce the excess energy demand and provide a cost benefit to the applicant implementing it. It will make a technical report having all the aspects mentioned and will provide a complete solution as a proposed methodology. It will provide a systematic study and proper proposed steps in order to have a full energy efficient life. There are various concrete methods which help in the fast improvement in energy efficient in industrial buildings as well as in home. The first step is to find out the points in which the energy is wasting.
