Energy conservation

•

Thermodynamic of energy conservation – 1st law of thermodynamics

•

Energy conservation through controls – reducing driving speed,telecommuting and staggering work hours, better insulation for homesand commercial buildings, modifying the consumer behavior and avoidingunnecessary energy consumption, awareness programme, populationcontrol, low-cost mass transportation system,

•

Energy auditing – energy book keeping, improvement in energyefficiency, replacement of old and inefficient equipment by newequipment,

•

Process heat and steam management - cogeneration,

•

Waste heat recovery – cogeneration, use of heat exchanger,

•

Electrical energy conservation in buildings and industries – substitutingincandescent lighting by compact florescent (energy efficient lighting),

•

Economics of energy conservation – zero energy building, reduce carbonemissions,
