Introduction
The demand for energy and energy consumption is rapidly increasing
due to the increase in population, increase in the production and use of millions of electrical and electronic appliances, building of several industries
The source of energy is either renewable or non-renewable, where
non-renewable energy sources
The non-renewable energy sources are getting depleted from time to
time due to excessive use for energy production and the trend is towards renewable energy sources

Introduction
A proper energy management is essential in order to limit our energy
consumptions. Among others, energy and/or electricity audit is the . first step to monitor and control our energy consumption and then utilize energy saving techniques

What is an Energy audit?
Everyone knows what an audit of accounts isan examination
(and verification) of the income and expenditure of a person, family or organization.
In the same way, an energy audit is an evaluation of energy
consumption in a home,Universites,business, or any other premises (including church buildings).
It is generally used to determine where energy can be saved,
conserved or used more efficiently.

Why Energy Audit? There are several levels of reasons for undertaking an energy audit: It helps you to lower energy bills.
It helps you to increase the life span of the equipment in your
facility.
It discovers any unaccounted consumption that may exist at
the facility
It helps reduce environmental damage and pollution.
It can increase the security of your energy supply.

Meetings with facility department:
In preliminary data collection phase, The campus logistic and
facility department was contacted to know campus electricity distribution, electricity appliance information and electricity billing information.

Data Collection :
Identify campus buildings and make an inventory of
campus electrical and electronic equipment types by walk-through visits (class rooms, offices, laboratories, library, student centers, outdoors, etc).
The electrical and electronic appliances include: lighting
devices (indoor and outdoor fluorescents and bulbs), computing devices (desk top computers, lap top computers, printers, projectors, etc) laboratory electrical equipment, heating and cooling devices (air conditioners, fans, refrigerators),

Data Analysis :
Identify rated power of electrical appliances and estimate
the daily usage in hours inside the campus, compute power consumption per day, per week, per month, per year by taking into considerations working days, weekends, holidays. Use a power meter device wherever necessary to measure the power consumption of appliances. Compare theoretical electric consumption calculations with electricity bill information.
Detailed analysis of data collected was done using Elektra
or Microsoft Excel. The database generated by Elektra was used for producing graphical representations.

Recommendations:
Identifying power saving technical measures and usage
behavioral measures that help reduce consumption of power and report writing of the results and findings of the audit.

How to Achieve Good results with Audit?
Power saving is achieved by reducing excess energy
consumed by lighting load. This results in substantial increase in life of lamps, choke burning reduces, thus reducing the heat and maintenance.
This is based on the Principle that above saturation region,
if more power is supplied to the lamps, it gets dissipated in form of heat, thereby reducing its life. This saturation current is controlled by adding inductive.

Objective of study:
This project targets to calculate the energy efficiency and to
reduce the energy consumption with engineering techniques and suggest and analyze recommendations mathematically showing the benefits and payback period
To study and understand the energy consumption in DTU.
To find out which form of energy is takes the largest expense and why it costs are very high compared to other energy forms DTU. To come up with energy conservation measures in DTU. To propose the energy efficiency project for DTU

EXPECTED OUTCOME:
it may be expected that for the future generations at DTU
Enhanced Electrical Apparatus life
Reduced maintenance cost Reduction in maximum demand Reduced energy Consumption
