Abstract

An energy audit is now becoming an important part of any industrial unit in the world. Coming back to the amount of power consumed by the residents of the campus, the amount of CO2 emitted is about 4 million kg annually (1 unit of power generated by coal-based thermal power plants releases 1 kg of CO2) At least 50% of this emissions can be avoided if ground source heat pumps are put in place for cooling and heating. Now, this technology is freely available across the countries, it is a question of policy and mindset of the implementing agencies to adopt this technology. Now that the new academic units are coming up on the campus with Japanese collaboration, district cooling and heating concept can be adopted right during the construction stage (this process can be implemented after the construction of the buildings but a small amount of cost can be saved if it is done during the construction stage).
