Abstract: The energy audit is the key to a systematic approach to decision-making in the field of energy management. Energy
efficiency is essential for the supply and use of energy throughout the sector through optimal management. Energy management
and energy audit to reduce costs by saving energy for various types of industries, institutions, hospitals, residential areas, etc.
KIIT University is one of such progressive University that for see the future that it hired EnerVision, a Private Third-Party
company to conduct such an audit, and we as a Team of BEE Certified Energy auditors, accepted this proposal and conducted
an audit in first week of March. The Key findings 0f the audit and the general procedure, Equipment’s, Methodology and
Synopsis is presented in the report. These management and audit discover areas where there is electricity waste and implement
efficient and appropriate energy use through effective energy management and auditing methods, the environment too can be
protected. Energy and money can be saved without affecting the natural and quality work performed in each department. This
article briefly explains the process of energy audits and energy management in and around buildings.

I. INTRODUCTION
Energy is one of the main inputs for the economic growth of any country. One of such major form of energy is Electricity, as
electricity being energy, it is necessary to see how the use, distribution and consumption is done, to better achieve this, energy audit
is done. It is a comprehensive process of evaluating the energy usage of a building, process, or system, with the aim of identifying
opportunities to reduce energy consumption and improve efficiency. The audit typically involves a detailed examination of energy
flows within the system, including the energy inputs and outputs, as well as an analysis of the efficiency of various components
such as lighting, heating, ventilation, and cooling systems. The goal of an energy audit is to identify areas where energy is being
wasted and to recommend measures to reduce energy consumption, which can lead to significant cost savings and environmental
benefits. An energy audit can be performed on residential, commercial, and industrial buildings, and can be conducted by qualified
professionals or through self-assessment tools. The audit report typically includes recommendations for energy-efficient practices,
such as upgrading equipment and systems, improving insulation, optimizing lighting and temperature controls, and incorporating
renewable energy sources. Pressure on electric utilities is rising as the current transmission and distribution system tools.

b) Site Details
KIIT University Campus-16 is receiving power from a single source of State’s Electricity supply board at 33 KV and its main feeder
is located in the campus-6 control room main LT panel.
There is one Oil cooled type transformer of Universal Transformers Make of rating. The transformers were maintained well and no
leakage of oil from the transformer was noticed. The records were checked and found satisfactory.
Feeder and Cable are capable of catering power to the respective loads. As per the record all feeders and protection devices are
tested annually. However, most of the feeders are found heating.
Power factor is maintained at the source with the help of Automatic power factor correction system which is operating in auto mode.
Hence it is recommended to have a real time power factor correction panel in place of the Existing Power Factor correction system.
This will help in improving the power quality along with power factor and reduce TD losses.

8) Energy
Energy is the capacity to do work, so electrical energy determines the capacity provided for the electricity consumed per unit time.
Cumulating the total Energy consumed, it can be calculated that Werther the loads are matched and distributed promptly or not, this
will also give a brief idea how much energy we are consuming and may help in getting possible measures to save it. The whole aspect
of this work is to inspect and analyze the power system in the site and check Werther any faults and or any imbalances are seen, this
will help to improve the process on how the energy is consumed. For such the whole loads needs to be balanced and the power
consumption needs to be recorded,
It also provides a method on how energy flow changes during time, which will allow us to check Whether there are any faulty systems
that are taking unnecessary power. For instance, if compressor of a HVAC is faulty, The graph can give us an idea that when the
compressor is on, multiple energy than required than normal consumption, Allowing us to know the fault in it.

V. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

Based on the study analysis and calculations, an energy audit can provide valuable insights into the energy usage patterns of a
building, process, or system. The audit provided the collection of data on energy inputs and outputs, as well as an examination of the
efficiency of various components such as lighting, HVAC systems, and appliances. The data collected during the audit is analyzed
to identify areas where energy is being wasted or used inefficiently. This analysis may include calculations of energy consumption
and cost, as well as comparisons of energy usage to industry benchmarks or best practices. The results of the energy audit can be
used to develop a comprehensive plan for improving energy efficiency and reducing energy consumption. This may include
recommendations for upgrading equipment and systems, optimizing lighting and temperature controls, improving insulation, and
incorporating renewable energy sources. By implementing the recommendations of an energy audit, building owners and managers
can potentially achieve significant cost savings on their energy bills, as well as contribute to environmental sustainability by
reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Overall, an energy audit is a valuable tool for assessing and improving energy efficiency in
buildings, processes, and systems. It can help identify opportunities for cost savings and environmental benefits, and provide a
roadmap for achieving energy efficiency goals. Based on the key findings, certain remarks and recommendations are provided so
that some necessary changes can be made for better energy efficiency.

VI. CONCLUSION
In conclusion, the energy audit has revealed several opportunities for energy savings and efficiency improvements in the campus
building. By implementing the recommended measures, the building can significantly reduce its energy consumption, lower its
carbon footprint, and save on energy costs in the long run. The findings of the energy audit suggest that the building can benefit
from improvements in lighting, HVAC systems, insulation, and other areas. The recommendations provided in the report are based
on careful analysis and consideration of the building's energy usage patterns, as well as industry best practices and standards.
It is recommended that the building owner or manager consider implementing the recommended measures in a phased manner,
starting with the ones that offer the highest return on investment. A thorough review of the energy audit report with a qualified
energy consultant can provide further guidance on prioritizing the recommendations based on their potential benefits and feasibility.
Overall, the energy audit report provides a roadmap for the audited building to improve its energy efficiency, reduce its
environmental impact, and increase its overall sustainability. As we all know, energy efficiency is the wave of the future. The world
is quickly moving towards energy sustainability. At the same time the mankind is trying to re-establish the connection it once had
with the nature. An energy efficient building is a step toward the direction of renewable energy, environmental protection, and
sustainable living.
