Energy Conservation and Management
ENERGY SOURCES:
Energy sources are all solid, liquid and gaseous fuels; electricity; uranium; steam and hot water;
and the traditional fuels such as fuel wood, charcoal, vegetal and animal wastes.
FOSSIL FUELS – Coal, Petroleum, Natural gas, oil shales
RENEWABLE SOURCES – Solar, hydro, Geothermal, Biomass, Nuclear,

What is a building/industrial energy audit?
What is the energy management?
What is Energy efficient systems
ENERGY CONSERVATION
The energy conservation denotes doing without, possibly giving up amenities to save energy.
Energy use efficiency-when a system can produce the same result with less expenditure of energy,
the term improved energy use efficiency is more appropriate.
EC: - It involves reducing wastage of energy and adopting methods that conserve energy, without
affecting productivity & comforts, and putting in place more energy efficient processes to replace
the less efficient processes.
Primary Objectives of Energy Management:
1. Improve energy efficiency and reduce energy use, thus reduce costs.
2. Reduce GHG emissions and improve air quality.
3. Cultivate good communications on energy matters.
4. Develop and maintain effective monitoring, reporting and management strategies for wise
energy usage.
5. Find new and better ways to increase returns from energy investments through R&D.
6. Develop interest in and dedication to the energy management program from all employees.
7. Reduce the impact of unexpected interruptions in energy supplies.

Energy Conservation and Management
, Energy Management EM: - The EM is the practical science of techniques and dynamic processes
of setting/objectives (tasks), planning, organizing, arranging material/ finance/ human and other
required resources, executing, supervising monitoring, removing bottlenecks to achieve objectives
and to set new objectives.
The energy management involves, planning, directing, and controlling the supply and
consumption of energy to maximized productivity and comforts and to minimize the energy costs
and to minimize the pollution, with consensus, judicious and effective use of energy.
Efficient Energy Utilization;
This depends on the source of energy and the process.
Efficient in generation of electric power; Efficiency in generation of Steam: Steam balance in factories;
Improving efficiency of boilers; high pressure boilers, fluidized bed combustion (FBC), Fuel flexibility;
Efficient utilization of steam; Energy conservation, Energy efficient systems for process systems;
The efficient and effective use of energy to maximize profits and minimize costs and enhance
competitiveness.
Forms of energy:
All energy can be classified into two categories: Potential or kinetic energy
Potential Energy-is stored energy and the energy of position, or gravitational energy. There are
several forms of potential energy, including:
Chemical Energy -is energy stored in the bonds of atoms and molecules. It is the energy that
holds these particles together. Biomass, petroleum, natural gas, and propane are examples of
stored chemical energy.
Stored Mechanical Energy is energy stored in objects by the application of a force. Compressed
springs and stretched rubber bands are examples of stored mechanical energy.
Nuclear Energy is energy stored in the nucleus of an atom— the energy that holds the nucleus
together.
Gravitational Energy is the energy of position or place. A rock resting at the top of a hill contains
gravitational potential energy. Hydropower, such as water in a reservoir behind a dam, is an
example of gravitational potential energy.
Kinetic Energy - energy in motion
the motion of waves, electrons, atoms, molecules, substances, and objects, including:
Electrical Energy is the movement of electrons.
