A study into energy management and possibilities of energy conservation in student hostels.
Abstract
Energy has become a very important aspect of our
lives. This study has tried to examine the problems related to
energy use, and has tried to outline various measures that
can be effectively used to improve energy utilization in the
student hostels.
Energy use in buildings is discussed with emphasis
laid on the need to incorporate energy as a design parameter
at the design stage. Energy management for old buildings is
also examined with the aim of showing that effective and
efficient energy management is a key factor in reducing energy
consumption in buildings.
The research tries to bring out the nature of energy
consumption in the student hostels. This is done with the aim
of identifying energy conservation opportunities.
Finally the study has outlined various conclusions
and recommendations, that if applied could possibly help in
reducing the high energy consumption in the student hostels
