Like most endevors in life, a project always started out as just an idea. It’s where
everything begins, so we’d like to acknowledgment our friend and teacher who planted
a kernel of an idea that grew into the topics for this project.
These days, it seems like everybody want to “energy consumption”. But it’s not just a
fad; there are many great reasons why it’s on our collective, best interest to conserve, to
be kinder to mother earth, and to make the most of this amazing universe provide us.
It’s become quite clear that all we create and all consume can deeply affect our lives,
now and into the future.
This even affects how we can use electronic equipments, computer and related
technologies. They consume energy and are sometime mode with cutting edge
materials that might not be so healthy for the environment so learning how we can
lessen our organization’s impact on the environment, via tweaks to technology,is a very
big ideal l
My sincere thanks are due to the head of B.Sc.IT Department Prof. Ranjeeta
Kapoor.she introduced me about theenergy consumption lastly I hanks to my
family,friends and spacialy a wide thanks to my fellow colleagues as without their
support and encouragement.I could never completed it.

INTRODUCTION
Electric energy consumption is the form of energy consumption that uses electric
energy. Electric energy consumption is the actual energy demand made on existing
electricity supply.
Energy conservation refers to the reducing of energy consumption through using less of
an energy service. Energy conservation differs from efficient energy use, which refers to
using less energy for a constant service Driving less is an example of energy
conservation. Driving the same amount with a higher mileage vehicle is an example of
energy efficiency. Energy conservation and efficiency are both energy reduction
techniques. Energy conservation is a part of the concept of sufficiency.
We choose this topic because though that this people should aware of this
information because as we all know that nowadays the use of computer, electronic
componets etc is growing higher than any other things.
That is why we selected this topic for our project .while doing this
we talk to people who have a colleges sir,mam,clerk. We tell them some information
about how to save energy by taking simple and efficient steps. While some people are
using those steps for better environment
Survey in it lab and college campus
We investigate energy consumption in university computer labs, college campus in
order to determine strategies for reducing energy costs without adversely affecting lab
users and college electronic components uses.This research is part of a multi-stage
project that incorporates data gathering, analysis, solution exploration, model
development, and strategy implementation. In this paper, we report primarily on the first
three stages, along with some discussion of strategy implementation. The initial data
gathering was conducted at (college name), across 4computer labs & 4 college/school
electronic components with over 90computers & 241 electronic components surveyed.
These computers & electronic components have been used as a representative sample
of computer & electronic components configurations across the (college name)campus,
due to their near uniform hardware software & electronic components configurations
according to the university’s IT & electric policies and procedures. Based on our data
collection, we compared the computers’& electronic components idle time with their
actual usage time, and show that a large amount of energy is being unnecessarily
wasted. With this data, we calculated the current energy usage of the surveyed
computer and electronic components and then extrapolated our findings to the rest of
the university based on (college name)computer lab college campus electronic
equipment list. Simple strategies such as switching computers & electronic
components to sleep soon after class, running a campaign to switch off monitors
& electronic components, and waking the computers on LAN, are shown to substantially
reduce energy waste. Across. �Finally, we also discuss concerns and challenges related
to the proposed strategies, and proffer some solutions to illustrate the feasibility of our
recommendations.
(plsc),(KDH)(ctes)&(mkjc)is a selective, private, school and college and located in
Chinchani According to the university's education technology list of equipment, there are
over 90 computers in university labs, classrooms, and offices, with the majority being
Dell desktops running Windows XP or Windows 7. Our research began with the
observation that (college name )like most universities, did not seem to have specific
energy conservation strategies in place (particularly for their lab computers). Even
though some of the labs are only used for a few hours of the day, the computers are
almost always on. This led us to believe that there was potential for (college name) to
save a considerable amount on energy costs through the creation and implementation
of various energy conservation strategies. From our initial literature review, we found
that (college name) is not alone in this regard - energy conservation issues also affect
many other college.
With this knowledge, we sought to determine whether or not ACU was making efficient
use of its energy, and if not, what could be done to improve. The major aspects of this
research included data collection, analysis, and solution exploration, though in the
future we would like to expand this research to model development and strategy
implementation. After collecting the relevant data (computer type, quantity, power
settings, etc), we analyzed this information to determine how much we could improve
energy efficiency at (college). In this analysis, we share some possible solutions, and
also discuss their related challenges and concerns.
Green computing is the environmentally responsible use of computers and related
resources such practices include the implementation of energy-efficient central
processing units, servers and peripherals as well as reduced resource consumption and
proper disposal of electronic waste (e- waste). It also defined as the designing
manufacturing/engineering, using and disposing of computing devices in a way that
reduces their environmental impact. Main goals of green computing are to reduce the
use of toxic and hazards materials and improve the energy efficiency, recycling factory
waste. Green computing is the requirement to save the energy with the expenses.
1.1. Advantages of Green computinga. Reduce the energy usage from green computing
techniques translated into lower carbon dioxide emissions, stemming from a reduction
in the fossil fuel used in power plants and transportation.
b. Conserving resources means less energy is required to produce, use and dispose of
products.c. Saving energy and resources save money.d. Green computing even
includes changing government policy to encourage recycling and lowering energy use
by individuals and businesses.
e. Reduce the risk existing in the laptops such as chemical known to cause cancer,
nerve damage and immune reactions in humans
2. ENERGY CONSUMPTION AT DIFFERENT LEVELS IN COMPUTING :
Energy consumption at different levels in computer systemsThe energy consumption is
not only determined by the efficiency of the physical resources, but it is also dependent
on the resource management system deployed in the infrastructure and efficiency of
applications running in the system. Energy efficiency impacts end users in terms of
resource usage costs, which are typically determined by the
Green Computing is a philosophical approach to computers. Its goal to reduce the
environmental impact. This includes making computers as energy efficient as possible,
using materials that can be recycled or are biodegradable, and using fewer toxic
materials and disposing of them safely
Green computing supports devices are progressively designed to minimize energy use
and have less of an impact on the environment. It also feature materials and use
manufacturing processes that are less energy-intensive than traditional methods and
even use renewable and natural materials when possible. GreenComputing is the
application of environmental science to offer economically viable solutions that conserve
the natural environment and resources, and curb the negative impacts of human
involvement.
II. Need of Green Computing
The rapid productivity of data centres required the constant addition of server, cooling
and ventilation equipment that led to an ever-increasing demand of energy and
increased presence of toxic and hazardous substances such as lead, mercury,
cadmium, and others. This made people look at
Ways to apply green technology in computing to mitigate the serious environmental and
health concerns. Electronic devices are a complex mixture of several hundred materials.
A mobile phone, for example, contains 500 to 1000 components. Many of these contain
toxic heavy metals such as lead, mercury, brominated flame retardants, cadmium,
beryllium and hazardous chemicals. Polluting PVC plastic is also frequently used.
These dangerous substances cause serious pollution and put workers at risk of
exposure when the products are produced or disposed of. Of particular concern is the
exposure of children and pregnant women to lead and mercury. These metals are highly
toxic and can harm children and developing foetuses even at low levels of exposure.
III. Save Power
One of the advantages of green computing to reduce the PowerConsumption. Different
technics are used to save power
. 1) Keep computer in Standby mode when it is not in use and therefore it can be
reduced the energy consumption by 70% to 80%.
. 2) Activate “hibernate” or “deep sleep” mode can reduce the energy
consumption by 96% as offering greater savings [1].
. 3) Desktop computer uses six times more energy than laptop as much as 80%
less? When we consider about monitors, large Cathode Ray Tube (CRT) monitors and
high resolution models use more energy than small ones. The Liquid Crystal Displays
(LCDs) which are used in laptop computers are more energy efficient and also the use
10% - 20% of power.
. 4) Power management devices are used in computing environment.
. Beyond standing codes, implement green technology, and create energy efficient
buildings.
. 6) These hot and cold aisle energy efficiency tips aim to help you reduce your
energy consumption within the data centre. Take a look to see if you’re using a cooling
technique that is wasting energy rather than saving it.
. 7) Software programs like Local Cooling can calculate how much electricity your
computer uses and adjust the settings of your power options to help minimize it.
Physical devices like the Earth Watts Power Supply can help increase the efficiency of
your computer's power supply and keep the computer cooler, so the fan doesn't have to
work as hard. SAVE ENVIRONMENT
. Green Computing save the environment from pollution by computer
metarial.Different ways are provided in green computing for environmental befit
. 1) Minimize carbon Emission: The computer material generate gaseous such as
methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (NO2) and fluorocarbons (CCl4).Temperature of earth is
increasing because of this gasese.In green computing companies are started
manufacturing computer material which generate less amount of such gases.
. 2) Reduce Paper wastage. In computer operation we use more papers for
printout purpose which is wastage. Here are some suggestions for reducing waste:
. 3) Take less amount of printout to save paper or indirectly save trees. Try to use
store much amount of data on storage devices.
. 4) Recycle waste paper as many times as you can.
. 5) Recycle the computer material
. 6) It is necessary to plant trees to maintain environmental stability
. 7) There are actually a lot of great things your old mobile devices can do for
people. Whether that means helping soldier’s overseas talk to their families or helping
victims of domestic violence, they can be a lot more than clutter for your junk drawer.
Here is a list of several worthwhile charities.
. 8) Reuse ink cartridge.
. 9) Use eco-friendly energy sources such as bio fuel, wind power ,solar water
heating ,hydro electricity,Geo Thermal sources ,Tidal power IV. Conclusion:Biggest
advantage of green Computing is that it saves money. As the above stated idea of
power saves and environment saving gives the benefit to save money.The IT industry
has the potential to change the way society operates on an environmental level if it is
willing to takethe plunge and make those big investments but initiatives have to be well
structured, well planned and well-co- ordinated Reduction in energy consumption gives
chance to money saving. Use of power management devices reduce the the
consumption of electricity which support for money saving. Paper save is save of
enivirnement.This provide idea to save money. Such as in this paper has given different
ideas which are used to save energy consumption as well as which are safe to
environement.It directly indirectly effect of saving money of individual, companies as
well as government. Green Computing helps to save environment as well as power.

School Energy Survey You can learn about how your building uses energy by
conducting an energy survey. These surveys are also called energy audits. The results
of the survey will help you understand ways in which the school could use energy more
efficiently. The last section of the guide also provides information on how to implement
an energy awareness program in your school. The information you will be gathering
during the energy survey is similar to the work done by professionals in the energy
management industry. Energy analysts perform energy studies on schools, businesses,
homes, factories, and other buildings to determine cost-effective ways to save energy.
The activities in this School Energy Survey are similar to the tasks performed by
engineers and other technicians in this growing field.
Data on global energy consumption in school are the most commonly available in the
literature, for global data it goes without saying uncategorized data or data that refer to
specification of building type (primary school, secondary school, school with / smart
class)
Electric and electronic devices consume electric energy to generate desired output (i.e.,
light, heat, motion, etc.). During operation, some part of the energy—depending on the
Electricity has been generated in power stations since 1882. [2] The invention of the
selectri Cal efficiencyis consumed in unintended output, such as waste heat.team
turbine in 1883 to drive the electric generator started a strong increase of world
electricity consumption.
In 2016, the world total of electricity production was 20,279 terawatt-hours (TWh) or
20.279 petawatt-hours (PWh). This number corresponds to an average rate of around
2.3 terawatts continuously during the year. The total energy needed to produce this
power is roughly a factor 2 to 3 higher because a power plant's efficiency of generating
electricity is roughly 30–50%. The generated power is thus in the order of 5 TW. This is
approximately a third of the total energy consumption of 15 TW (see world energy
consumption).
In 2005, the primary energy used to generate electricity was 41.60 Quadrillion BTU [12,
192 TWh] (Coal 21.01 quads [6,157 TWh], Natural Gas 6.69 quads [1,960 TWh],
Petroleum 1.32 quads [387 TWh], Nuclear electric power 8.13 quads [2,383 TWh] ,
Renewable energy 4.23 quads [1,240 TWh] respectively). The gross generation of
electricity in that year was 14.50 Quads [4,250 TWh]; the difference, 27.10 Quads
[7,942 TWh], was conversion losses. Among all electricity, 4.84 Quads [1,418 TWh] was
used in residential area, 4.32 Quads [1,266 TWh] used in commercial, 3.47 Quads
[1,017 TWh] used in industrial and 0.03 Quads [8.79 TWh] used in transportation.
16,816 TWh (83%) of electric energy was consumed by final users. The difference of
3,464 TWh (17%) was consumed in the process of generating power and lost in
transmission to end users.
METHODOLOGY:
Before we started this project we surveyed college and school for the primary data
In this project we informed to some of the users about simple and efficient steps ways to
save the energy.
We suggest them to purchase energy saving equipment for their college and school.
We suggest them how they save their environment by using simple methods like
Turn off the system when not in use .use less power consuming electrical appliances
and switch off them when not in use.
We suggest them to take their bills online not using of printed bills use less power
consuming cooling system for their system.
In this survey we found that some people are using the old CRT display which is too old
and energy consuming we suggest them to change to LCD LED monitor, fan, tube light,
or all old electronic componets.

BENEFITS OF ENERGY CONSUMPTION:
Efficient energy use, sometimes simply called energy efficiency, is the goal to reduce
the amount of energy required to provide products and services. For example, insulating
a home allows a building to use less heating and cooling energy to achieve and
maintain a comfortable temperature. Installing fluorescent lights, LED lights or natural
skylights reduces the amount of energy required to attain the same level of illumination
compared with using traditional incandescent light bulbs. Improvements in energy
efficiency are generally achieved by adopting a more efficient technology or production
process or by application of commonly accepted methods to reduce energy losses.
There are many motivations to improve energy efficiency. Reducing energy use reduces
energy costs and may result in a financial cost saving to consumers if the energy
savings offset any additional costs of implementing an energy efficient technology.
Reducing energy use is also seen as a solution to the problem of reducing greenhouse
gas emissions. According to the International Energy Agency, improved energy
efficiency in buildings, industrial processes and transportation could reduce the world's
energy needs in 2050 by one third, and help control global emissions of greenhouse
gases.
Energy efficiency and renewable energy are said to be the twin pillars of sustainable
energy policy and are high priorities in the sustainable energy hierarchy. In many
countries energy efficiency is also seen to have a national security benefit because it
can be used to reduce the level of energy imports from foreign countries and may slow
down the rate at which domestic energy resources are depleted
There are many benefits to conserving energy. Nunavummiut can achieve the following
when they reduce the amount of energy they use:
Money Savings – You can reduce the cost of your heating, electricity and fuel bills.
You will also be able to spend less on maintenance and replacement of energy-
consuming equipment if you use it less.
Lessened Impact on the Land and Healthier Environment – Lower energy usage
results in decreased pollution. Fewer polluting gases and other fine particles are
released into the air because fewer fossil fuels need to be burned to produce energy.
Our land, water and air would be cleaner and healthier.
Climate Change – The more energy we use, the more fossil fuels we burn. Fossil
fuels contribute to global climate change, which is already having a direct effect on
Nunavummiut. We can all do our part to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions that
contribute to climate change by conserving energy.
2. Energy is so much a part of life that we often use it without thinking about the
sources and impacts on the environment. The fact is that most of energy is
generated from burning fossil fuels like coal, gas or oil. As of today, fossil fuels
provide around 66 percent of the world’s electrical power, and 95 percent of the
world’s total energy demands, including heating, transport, electricity generation and
other uses. Accumulation of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, released from
burning of fossil fuel, contributes to global warming and triggers changes in
surrounding environment and, ultimately, on our social and economic realities.
1:
Buy or lease computer monitors with energy saving features. Many newer computers
will have built in energy saving features that can reduce the amount of electricity used
by your office. If you’ve been using the same desktop for 10 years, consider upgrading
to a new version that has energy saving features. Not only will this promote energy
savings, it will also show up as savings on the office’s electricity bill.
a) You can also encourage everyone in the office to make sure their computers
have the power down option set as well as the hibernation option set. Keep in
mind screen savers do not save energy. In fact, they are energy wasters, as your
computer has to provide twice as much energy to light up your computer screen
when using a screen saver.
b) Remind everyone in the office to turn off their computers, as well as copiers and
other electronic equipment when they’re done for the day or when they are not
using them. Shutting off your computer will not shorten itself lifespan and can
save high amounts of energy.
2:
Set your computer to sleep and avoid using screen savers. If there are any computers
at home, it is important that your computer is set to go to sleep after several minutes if it
is not being used, and that you have the hibernate setting on your computer
Avoid using screen savers, as they are actually a big energy waster and
can require more energy from your computer than sleep mode or hibernation
mode.
3:
At the end of each school day, check that your PCs, printers, photocopiers
and other stand-by appliances are turned off at the wall. Please note: There is some ICT
equipment that must remain turned on at all times. These include VicSmart routers and
CASES and eduPaSS servers. If you have any questions about what to keep turned on,
see: Core ICT Equipment in Schools
4:
Remember to turn the lights off when you leave a classroom. If it’s bright outside,
think about whether you need the lights on at all

History
"Energy management" is a term that has a number of meanings, but we're mainly
concerned with the one that relates to saving energy in businesses, public-
sector/government organizations, and homes:
The above four-step process applies either way - it's entirely up to you whether you
consider energy-s
Advantages
is silent
It can be used produce magnetic fields, which can be used to propel motors
It is very transformable
It can be used to produce other forms of radiant energy, such as radio waves,
microwaves, radiant heat and light
Disadvantages
It can kill you
We become dependent on it
There is growing concern that the magnetic fields around transmission lines may
be unhealthy
CONCLUSION:
SUGGESTION:
“If it’s too hot in the room, I open the window.” This comment is typical of the
feedback we got from students when we talked to them about their energy
use, and it’s not really surprising. Opening a window will provide them with a
quicker cool-down than turning back the thermostat. But like every university
or college, at Coventry University we have pressing reasons for wanting to
improve our energy efficiency. The Carbon Trust says that the energy costs
of the further and higher education sector are running at around £400m per
year, and growing as student numbers rise.
Their figures show that 60 per cent of it is spent on heating, and a further 25
per cent on lighting. That means that really simple actions like turning
thermostats down a couple of degrees and switching lights off when you
leave a room can really stack up if enough people can be motivated to do it.
Some of the advantages of solar energy which makes it all the more suitable
for India are as follows:
▪ You don’t need a power or gas grid to get solar energy. A solar
energy system can be installed anywhere. Solar panels can be easily placed
in houses. Hence, it is quite inexpensive compared to other sources of
energy.
▪ And, also during day time, the weather may be cloudy or rainy,
with little or no sun radiation. Hence, this makes solar energy panels less
reliable as a solution.
▪ The land space required to install a solar plant with solar panel
is quite large and that land space remains occupied for many years

In solar energy sector, many large projects have been proposed in India.
▪ That Desert has some of India’s best solar power projects,
estimated to generate 700 to 2,100 GW.
▪ In July 2009, a $19 billion solar power plan was unveiled which
projected to produce 20 GW of solar power by 2020.
India is slowly gaining its prominence in the generation of solar power due to
the comprehensive and ambitious state and the Centre’s solar policies and
projects and National Solar Mission. In the latest 2014 budget, Finance
Minister Jaitley declared that the Government has proposed an amount of
500 crore rupees to develop some mega solar power plants in Gujarat, Tamil
Nadu, Rajasthan, and Ladakh. He also said that solar power-driven
agricultural water pumping stations and 1 MW solar parks on canal banks
will be developed in the country at an estimated cost of $74 million and
$18.5 million, respectively. Considering all these facts, we do have a bright
picture in front of us as India’s potential to be a solar power driven country of
the world.
