AUDITING PROCEDURE:
An energy audit consists of several tasks which can be accomplished depending on the type of inspection, as
well as the size and function of the verified facility.
1) Establish the organization's energy consumption.
2) Calculate the amount of money that can be saved.
3) Determine immediate (especially no- or low-cost) improvements/savings.
4) Create a 'reference point'.
5) Determine which areas require more in-depth investigation/measurement.
6) The preliminary energy audit makes use of data that is already available or can be easily obtained.

In Table 1 only a day of energy consumptions or units was calculated so, to calculate how much charges have to
be paid for the total units in a month (31 days) have been shown in Table 2. In table 2 no holidays were

The table 3 has considered as a reference value. The data is available in the Maharashtra State Electricity
Distribution.

<20 kW 4.86
>50 kW 7.84
From the table 3 on the basis of consumption slab and charges the table 2 total unit was taken to find out how
much rupees will be charged. So in table 4 the charges for each equipment’s has been shown. This table 4 and
figure 4 is very important to know how much chargers has to be paid if electrical energy is not conserved and
managed it properly. So in next topic the electricity energy conservation or savings is explained.

2. Replacing old fans with advanced energy efficiency BLDC (Brushless Direct Current) motor
fans
Energy consumption of single BLDC motor fans:
Consumption = 32 Watts
Number of fans = 90
Energy Consumption of total fans (for 1 hour):
Connected Load Total = 32 * 90 = 2880 Watt ÷ 1000 = 2.88 kWh
Energy Consumption of total fans (for 1 day):
2.88 * 8 = 23.04 kWh
Monthly Energy Consumption of total fans (for31 days):
2.88 * 200 (No. of hours) = 576 kWh
Monthly Energy cost of all fans
576 * 7.84 = 4515.84 Rs
After implementing monthly savings is:
10442.88 – 4515.84 = 5927.04 Rs
Cost of per BLDC fans as well as installation = 3,800 Rs
Total cost of all fans as well as installation:
3,800 * 90 = 3,42,000 Rs
So if the payback period as to be calculated:
3,42,000/5927.04 = 58 months
5. Replacing the 185 Liter old fridge with 190 Liter 3-star fridge
Power consumption = 168 W
Number of Fridge = 1
Energy Consumption of total Air Conditioner (for 1 hour):
Connected Load Total = 168 * 1 = 168 Watt ÷ 1000 = 0.168 kWh
Monthly Energy Consumption of fridge (for31 days):
0.168 * 292 (No. of hours) = 49.05 kWh
Monthly Energy cost of fridge
49.05 * 7.44 = 364.97 Rs
After implementing monthly savings is:
579.187 – 364.97 = 214.21 Rs
Cost of a fridge as well as installation = 15,000 Rs
So if the payback period as to be calculated:
15,000/214.21 = 70 months.
6. Replacing Scanner and Ink cartridge printer with All in One ink jet printer
Power consumption = 72 W
Number of All in One ink jet printer = 9
Energy Consumption of total printer (for 1 hour):

Connected Load Total = 72 * 9 = 648 Watt ÷ 1000 = 0.648 kWh
Monthly Energy Consumption of printer (for31 days):
0.648 * 85 (No. of hours) = 55.08 kWh
Monthly Energy cost of printer
55.08 * 4.86 = 267.688 Rs
After implementing monthly savings is:
1889.244 – 267.688 = 1621.55 Rs
Cost of all printer as well as installation = 11,400 Rs
So if the payback period as to be calculated:
11,400/1621.55 = 7 months.
By investing and implementing this new modern technologies, and following the BEE standard rules and
regulations no penalty charges has to be paid and reduce the billing charges. Even at the same comfort level
consumer can satisfy their daily activities and department can save money.
Above all the new low power rating equipment’s with more advancement have been calculated and shown the
payback period. So to get idea and implement those specified equipment’s according to the department budget
and most important use the energy efficiently.
Comparison of old units and new units of each equipment’s.
