Case study on Energy Efficiency building

Akshay Urja Bhawan

INTRODUCTION TO AKSHAY URJA BHAWAN

 The Department of Renewable Energy is responsible for formulating policies and

programmes necessary for popularizing the applications of various non -conventional and
renewable sources of energy in the State.
 It is implementing various schemes concerning utilization of solar energy, biogas, micro
hydel, biomass Energy etc. 
 The Department is also acting as a State Designated Agency for the implementation of the
Energy Conservation Act, 2001 in the State for taking full advantage of fiscal and financial
incentives made available by the Ministry of New & Renewable Energy (MNRE), Govt. of
India and Indian Renewable Energy Development Agency (IREDA) and to give impetus to
the process of implementation, State Govt. has set up a new agency called Haryana
Renewable Energy Development Agency (HAREDA) in May, 1997.  
 This agency is acting as a nodal agency to implement the various centrally and state
sponsored schemes/ projects in the area of renewable energy in the State.
