Abstract

Lighting constitutes a main portion of energy consumption in commercial as well as in industrial sector. The Energy Auditing is the key of the consumption which stabilize the situation of energy crisis by providing the conservative measures. Any organization so called bulk consumer of electrical energy gives emphasis to adopt suitable technology or scheme of energy conservation to minimize the unwanted power shutdown either incidentally or by load shedding. As the energy costs increases, possible efforts are to be done to minimize the energy consumption of lighting installations and efficient use of the energy consuming equipments . This follow three basic directions: new more efficient equipment (lamps, control gear, etc.), utilization of improved lighting design practices, replacing excess energy consuming equipments from energy efficient equipments, improvements in lighting control systems to avoid energy waste for unoccupied and daylight hours. In this paper an Energy audit has been conducted in the Pharmaceutical industry to estimate the energy consumption. In this Energy audit, the cost analysis and pay back periods have been calculated by replacing the higher consumption lamps with Energy efficient lightning also checking the feasibility of the different departments of the industry from energy point of view. The profit of implementing the energy efficiency measures in industry are considerable both in terms of energy savings and cost savings.

Keywords- Energy Audit, Installed Load Efficacy Ratio, Energy Efficient Measures, Payback Period.
