Lighting Electrical Energy Audit and Management in a Commercial Building

Abstract

In the present scenario, the world is dependent upon the ways to conserve electrical energy in an effective manner with less cost investment in India. The demand that is lagging in the year 2016–2017 is 300 GW. It is seen that day by day the demand is increasing the government is behind the generation part but conservation is very much essential to reduce the demand in an effective manner, looking over this scenario an initiative has been taken in our University to conduct electrical energy audit and management in an effective manner to reduce the demand and save 10 MW generation in 10 years. The initial work was started under the vision MGR-VISION 10 MW which was inaugurated in our University. The team has completed audit in 25 residential flats, 2 commercial building and 2 industries so far. This paper delivers a lighting layout for a commercial building in which it consist of six floor. Lighting layout of one particular floor is done with electrical energy audit and energy management. The recommendations for the benefits of implementation with breakeven chart are given to reduce the consumption in an effective manner. Recommendation for usage of renewable energy is given so as to reduce the consumption to reduce demand and save electrical utilization bills.
