The Energy Crisis

Rising demand

Increasing Carbon Emissions

Limitations – Fuel ResourcesBased on current projections, within the next 75 years (at current rates of consumption), the extractable

• coal, • oil• natural gas reserves • nuclear fuel

would be depleted

What is a Carbon Footprint?

A carbon footprint is the measure of the amount of greenhouse gases, measured in kilograms of carbon dioxide emitted by human activities

Some tips to reduce carbon footprints….

6

Switching off five 60 W lights in hallways when

you don’t need them – saves about 270 kg

CO2 per year.

Replacing 5 ordinary light bulbs in lamps that

you use around 5 hours a day with (CFL)

bulbs - saves about 250 kg CO2 per year

Switching off your air conditioner every day for

4 hours – saves about 300 kg CO2 per year.

Power Demand Supply Gap

INDIA

Conserving energy is an effective solution to 3 major problems that we face:

Demand – 7,74,324 MW

Supply – 6,89,021 MW

Deficit – 85303 MW

The Deficit is showing a growing trend.

* In Maharashtra, the deficit is approx. 4000 MW.

* In Mumbai, the deficit is approx. 900 MW.

• Increased Load Shedding• Depletion of Energy Reserves• Global Warming and Climate Change*http://www.powermin.nic.in/JSP_SERVLETS/internal.jsp

Energy Conservation

What is Energy Conservation?

Saving Improving efficiency

Energy Efficiency and Energy Saving are TWO aspects of Energy Conservation

Solar Panels for water heating – an indicative study

A typical building of 30 flats would consume approx. 10800 kW-hrs per month by using geysers for heating water. The cost involved would be approx. Rs. 50000/- per month.

Installing a solar panel solely for heating water would cost approx. Rs. 4,50,000/-

The operational & maintenance costs would be minimal.

Thus, the investment can be offset in terms of savings on energy bills in a span of 9 months.And this is an environment friendly process that would REDUCE CO2 EMISSIONS BY 49 TONS in a year. This is the equivalent of planting about 165 trees.

Employing cleaner technologies

Plan and implement behavior change projects associated with environmental stewardship and outreach events community

Need for measurable

impact

Into Action

14

Unit of Electricity: One unit of electricity is exactly equal to 1000 watts of power used for 1 hour

Note the power consumption given on appliance label in watts or kW (1000 watts).

Calculate the how much energy the appliance consumes by the formula

Energy consumed (kW-hrs) = Power (kW) x Time used (hours)

Cost (Rs.) = Energy consumed (kW-hrs) x Tariff (Rs.)

Know your Electric Bill

Some energy-saving tips: Lighting Replace Filament Lamps with Compact Fluorescent LampsSwitch off lights when not neededUse T5 tube lights in place of T8 or older models Heating / cooling Set A/c’s to 24 deg C for optimum efficiencyEnsure that refrigerators are not opened unnecessarilyHousekeepingIntroduce Star-rated devices / appliances wherever possible

17

Computers & AV Equipment Switch off from the mains when not in use to minimize standby powerSwitch off monitors during breaks at workUse LCD monitors in place of CRT where possible

  Condition:  Computer under heavy use Power consumption (Watts): 72Condition: Idle computer (or in monitor screensaver mode)Power consumption (Watts): 40Condition: Monitor during screensaver modePower consumption (Watts): 50

18

General 

Monitor lights, fans, geysers, pumps and other devices / appliances in daily use to minimize energy wastage

  Standby power is responsible for 5 – 10% of total

electricity use in most home and could be responsible for up to 1% of global carbon dioxide emission!
