1. Introduction:
St Philomena College was founded in 1958 by Msgr Antony Patrao, a missionary, who
conscientiously believed that education was the best means of empowerment. His
conviction that the religious, spiritual, social and economic interest of the students could
be best served through education made this region an educational hub. Even in the
nascent stages of its growth the College showed all the signs of becoming a centre of
excellence. A fully fledged centre of excellence is yet to be realized, but efforts towards
this end have not ceased.

With an enviable record of growth in student enrollment, physical infrastructure and

student achievements, the Institution offered itself for accreditation in 2004 to begin with
and in 2010 for the II cycle. To justify an excellent social accreditation, the NAAC
accredited the Institution at ‘A’ grade with a CGPA of 3.19 in the III cycle in the year 2016.
Efforts are not spared to consolidate the features and functions of the Institution by the
Catholic Board of Education, Diocese of Mangalore, which is the top management. The
CBE has under its care 11 Degree colleges, 16 Pre-university colleges, 66 high schools, 165
primary schools and 1 technical institute. Most Rev Peter Paulo Saldhana, the Bishop,
Diocese of Mangalore is the President of CBE.

Affiliated to Mangalore University and recognized by the UGC under 2(f) and 12B, the
Institution does attempt to treat the primary stake holders in six UG programs and six PG
programs to a rewarding educational experience. Fulfilling most of recommendations of
the previous Peer Team and which an array of post accreditation initiatives the Institution
offers itself for the IV cycle of accreditation in the academic year 2020-21.

The environmental issue has become a world-wide concern in the last few decades being
the focus of discussions in a variety of forums both at national and international levels.
Because environmental problems are rooted in economic and social policies, they occur at
all levels from local to global, and success requires action by many players over a long
period of time. The activities undertaken by the colleges can create a variety of
environmental impacts. Educational institutions are in a unique position to provide
environmentally sustainable solutions. St Philomena College expresses its commitment to
sustainability in many ways. It has undertaken a number of positive steps to reduce its
environmental impacts.

The environmental audit of St Philomena College is meant to be a quantitative and

qualitative way to record and present the activities of the Institution and its stakeholders.
In effect, encourage & promote more sustainable way of living.

10.Listing present energy conservation plans

➢ The institute is concentrating to reduce energy consumption, increase

efficiency, use more renewable energy sources like solar energy.
➢ Existing energy consuming devices like tube lights are replaced by LED
energy saving models.
➢ Students are oriented not to waste the electric energy.
➢ While purchasing electronic instruments, less energy consumes is
considered as major parameter.
➢ Service and Maintenance of all equipment are properly planned and
monitored.

1. USE OF LED BULBS AND LIGHTS IN FUNCTIONING AREAS

6. POWER SAVING REFRIGERATOR:

11 refrigerators used in college passage, laboratories and administrative
offices are enabled with 5star power saving mode and has the facility of auto
on off whenever it is needed.

11. Resource Conservation - Present Practices & Proposed

Plans

a. Water Conservation

The college is situated in Puttur city that gets heavy rain during the monsoon
period every year. In order to conserve this rain water the college roof top and
terrace areas have been connected to pipes that carry the accumulated water
down to the ground level. This water is allowed to seep into the soil so as to
raise the ground water table.

➢ Rain water harvesting is undertaken on the campus.

➢ Rain water falling on a roof of 10,000 sq. ft. is collected and stored in a
facility with a capacity of 20,000 liters.
➢ The water collected is used in the rest rooms and wash rooms which
meets the water requirements in that area for about four months.
➢ The practice of rain water harvesting has helped the students to
internalize the need for economizing on the use of a very precious
natural resource.
➢ It has contributed to strengthen the surface water as water from wells
is not drawn for a definite period; instead, surplus rain water is fed
into the source.

EnvOne Technologies, Mangalore-03 Page 11

 Energy Audit Report 2020-21- St Philomena College

➢ The excess water collected by harvesting is also fed to the tube-wells

thereby strengthening the ground water table.
➢ The added advantage of the system is that water is not lifted from the
tube-wells which will help save electricity.
➢ In a way it is a method of energy conservation. Besides, all the
students are educated about the methods and importance of rain
water harvesting.

Bore well recharge

A bore well is present in front of Post-Graduation Centre. It is enclosed with
iron lid as a protective measure. A water pump is installed to the bore well. The
bore well water is used in the Post-Graduation Centre for daily commutes in
wash rooms and waters the green spaces of the campus. This has greatly
reduced the consumption of Municipal water for such purposes.

Bore well is recharged during monsoon season through rain water of the
college roof top and terrace areas, that have been connected to pipes and carry
the accumulated water down to the ground level of bore well. These water
steps into the ground and raises the level of the ground water table.

 Energy Audit Report 2020-21- St Philomena College

Maintenance of water bodies and distribution system in the

campus
The ground water and municipal water is pumped into storage tanks located at
different places in the campus. There are nine overhead storage tanks in the
campus. The water is distributed through well laid pipe network. Drinking water
after treating in RO plant is supplied through a separate set of distribution
pipes and water for all other purpose is supplied through another set of
distribution pipes. Entire distribution system is well supervised to ensure that
there are no leakages and wastages of precious water through taps, joints,
valves, etc. Waste usage of water is reduced using low pressure flushes. All the
stakeholders of the college are well educated to use water economically and
efficiently.

b. Energy Consumption & Conservation Plans

▪ Solar Water Heating (SWH) system has been installed in the hostels for
men and women to make hot water available to the inmates.
▪ The management has planned to install solar panels on the College
building, PG building, auditorium building and library building in a span of
one or two years to generate power as a substitute for electricity.
▪ Solar panels are installed in the hostels of the campus for giving hot water
facility to students.

➢ 2500 LPD SWH stainless steel with EFEX coating framework type
structure installed in Women’s Hostel by replacing old one during the
year with a cost of Rs 2,26,382.00 which can save the power up to
20,400 units per annum or approximately Rs. 1,10,000.00 worth of
power cost.
➢ 2000 LPD SWH TATA SOL SOLAR (12 PANEL) framework type structure
installed Men’s Hostel which can save the power up to 20,400 units
per annum.

12.Conclusion
St Philomena College is more concerned about energy source depletion. In this
regard college is more concentrating to reduce energy consumption, increase
efficiency, and use more renewable energy sources like solar energy. Many
other energy conservation plans like usage of LED bulbs, Sensor based wall
lights, power saving mode, power saving equipments are in place and all these
are executed and maintained in the campus. Institute is also creating
awareness on how to use energy efficiently and economically in all students.
