Energy Conservation: a Case Study on Energy Conservation in Residential apartment complex

Abstract

Indian energy production is mainly dependent on fossil fuels which are depleting at a rapid rate. End user
efficiency or Demand side management (DSM) is important under current energy scenario. This paper deals with the saving
in energy in a residential apartment complex. The paper looks into the current consumption pattern and suggests the options
for energy conservation. The paper considers that energy efficient equipments will be used in place of the existing less
efficient equipments. The saving of energy is calculated.. Although use of energy efficient methods increase the initial cost
they are of benefit in long run as they have long life and they save energy
