Energy Conservation at the Chennai Silks

Jaya Vishnu Kumar, Dr. R. Vinayagasundaram

Abstract: Studying about the power consumption at Chennai Silks and finding possible methods to reduce energy. Cause and Effect diagram was sketched and the possible solutions were provided after the study. Lighting, Air conditioning, Lift etc. , were monitored and solutions were provided by energy auditing by thorough inspection. The Energy Audit provided a brief outlook on the units of power consumption including floor wise calculations. Solutions were provided such as usage of sensor light, switching of the lights/fans when not in use, installation of split AC instead of centralised air conditioning. By using sensor light the energy can be saved up to 30-40 % depending on the crowd.
