This paper presents the study of the importance of energy auditing and the process of energy auditing are presented in detail. The implementation of energy-saving strategies has become a necessity and improving the performance of various facilities is no longer a prestige, it has now become mandatory for all sectors. The main objective is to analyze and reduce the existing energy demand and system response for a particular operation. This project aims to carry out lighting audit and electric load management audits in commercial, educational, and industrial buildings. This paper describes suggesting cost-effective measures to improve the efficiency of energy use.
For the developing country like India, the energy generated make a decision on the economic development of the country. Being the fifth major power generator and the fourth principal power consumer in the world, energy demand and insufficiency rules the country. Energy demand in our country is rising exponentially. Energy conservation can be the paramount solution for the increasing energy demand. Energy audit is the best solution for the energy conservation where the system is well investigated and a report stating the probable changes in the system with no negative output is appraised. Energy audit is an inspection, survey and investigation of energy flows in a building, in a process or a system with the intention of realizing the energy dynamics of the system under analysis. In each industry, there is conservation and utilization of electrical energy. However every so often, it is not probable to utilize electrical energy in an appropriate manner. So, energy audit is an aid to utilize electrical energy very competently and in appropriate way. This paper presents a basic review on energy audit and few new concepts like demand response, demand side management, zero energy building and green building are also been discussed in the paper.

The most basic and important need in today's world is electricity. Nowadays, we cannot imagine our lives doing anything without electricity. Along with electricity, electrical power has become our regular requirement. The knowledge of power is to make human existence simpler, to reduce human labor, to make labor more productive and less time consuming. With its little advantage we also fear about making it accessible to us and everyone in the future by saving our weakest assets from which it is made. out. It can only visualize by energy balancing of an alternative field. Our point is to save electrical energy by performing Electrical Energy test. We have completed electrical energy assessments of a private home and have come up with in this document with suitable recommendations.
Energy audit will help us to understand more about the ways energy is used in industries, administration and commercial building and it will also help us to identify the areas where waste can occurs and where scope for improvement exist. It will also help us to keep focus on variation which occur in energy cost, identify energy conservation technology In general energy audit is translation of conservation ideas into relatives, by leading technically feasible solution with economy and other organizational consideration with in a specific time frame. So it is the way by which we can calculate total energy consumption of an organization and we can also find various methods to reduce the total energy consumption. The Energy Audit would give a positive orientation to the energy cost reduction, preventive maintenance and quality control programmer which are vital for production and utility activities. Such an audit programmer will help to keep focus on variations which occurs in the energy costs, availability and reliability of supply of energy, decide on appropriates energy mix and identify energy conservation technologies.
The energy audit begins from the survey at one end to one that may cover different phases. These phases cover a basic survey, next is the monitoring of energy use in the industry services, and then model analysis using computer simulation of industry operation. Energy audit plays important role in identifying energy conservation opportunities in the different industrial sector, while they do not give the final answer to the obstacle; they do help to recognize possible potential for energy conservation and suggest the companies to gather their efforts in this area in a convene manner. The difficulty of the audit is hence directly related to the stages or degree of composure of the energy management program and the cost of the audit exercise. Remote monitoring and control system points to a field of industrial automation that is arriving a new era with the advancement of wireless sensing devices. Remote monitoring of several industries sensors, machineries, energy are the most ambitious products and many organizations are working on it. The paper discusses the applicable solution in the industrial area and different research going through in order to enhance the system.
Now a days, in the development of any nation, the availability of Electrical Energy plays an important role. Energy crisis is increasing day by day. The major consumer of electrical energy is industry and in most of industrial units, a big portion of electrical energy is wasted because of improper and unplanned consumption. The energy which has been wasted by these industries is also paid. One of the solutions to overcome the energy crisis problem is energy conservation that can be achieved by auditing of energy. Implementation of energy audit can improve the plant efficiency and thereby reduce the energy wastages. So, there should be an energy saving cell in every industrial unit for continuous survey and to provide remedial steps for energy conservation. The present research work aims at analysis, evaluation and implementation of Energy Audit in the industry which will help in avoiding the energy wastage. The work presented in the thesis explores the possibilities to identify and then to minimize the energy wastages area in the industry. In case study of Vardhman Special Steels, in which the major electrical energy is consumed in motors, furnaces, compressed air system etc. study of instantaneous load analysis of motor has been done. The study shows the loading status of the motor, which helps in keeping a check as to which motors are consuming more power than they ought to be consuming. Hence the loop holes for higher power consumption have been pointed out and steps are recommended to avoid them. The work presented here also pertains to explore the possibilities of electrical energy saving in compressors, furnaces. It was observed that there is a potential for energy saving for which corrective measures have been suggested. Similarly, other energy porous related to various component of the industrial unit viz transformers, capacitors, water pumps etc. are considered. The analysis of each of these factors has been done and recommendations have been given accordingly. If suggestions and recommendations in this thesis are applied properly, the unit will save a large amount of electrical energy and hence electrical bills can be cut to certain amount.

The economic development of a country is often closely linked to its consumption of energy. The government has taken new steps for the development of renewable energy sources and less consideration in conservation of electrical energy in the society. According to the current scenario the demand of energy has increased and became a routine process in our lifestyle. Why electrical auditing and management is essential? Energy audit is the survey of wastage power in different areas like domestic houses, commercial buildings and industries etc. For getting solution to save electrical energy, energy auditing is best way. So we found in India the demand of electrical power rises at the rate of 9-10 % per annum while the generation of electrical power rises at the rate of 5-6 % per annum, ultimately the gap between demand and generation of electrical power is widening at the rate of 3-4 % per annum. Electrical energy auditing and management program can have an originating within one division of saving, motivating people in all forms to undergo conservation activities. In this project we had done the Energy audit in residential house.
Energy audit is the primary study that identifies energy use among various services and provides opportunities for energy conservation. Energy auditing is an integral part of energy conservation. This paper reviews the initial attempts to understand the energy consumption patterns in a commercial building and to reduce the energy consumption. Payback calculation are done to understand the investment required and hence feasibility is confirmed. This paper also focuses on the CO2 emission generated by the consumed units.
Energy is very rare asset, especially in developing and underdeveloped countries. Cost of energy is gradually increasing day-by-day. With an increase in the population there is a change in the standard of living of people which results into more demand for the resources. In India, no matter how much of energy is generated, still there is a scarcity of supply of energy. So the more energy we save is the energy we produce. This paper presents a detailed study of consumption of electrical power and propositions to reduce the energy consumption and to achieve conservation of energy by applying modern power saving techniques. So possible steps need to be identified and adopted to conserve energy and reduce energy cost. Energy conservation is also crucial and necessary as the nation is energy deficient due to which various issues such as low voltage, load shedding and premature failures of equipments come across.
