Energy Review and Wastage Identification

Energy Review and Wastage Identification

At JSS Academy of Higher Education & Research (JSS AHER), we regularly conduct detailed energy reviews to identify areas of energy wastage across our campus. Our approach is grounded in sustainability and energy efficiency, ensuring that energy consumption is continually optimized. Below are the key components of our energy review and wastage identification process.


Regular Energy Audits to Identify Energy Wastage

JSS AHER undertakes annual energy audits to assess energy consumption patterns and identify areas of inefficiency across the campus. These audits are carried out by an experienced team consisting of an in-house electrical engineer and certified external auditors. The audits focus on:

  • Lighting systems
  • Laboratory equipment
  • Compressors
  • Water pumping units
  • HVAC systems

The energy audit identifies areas of high energy usage and helps pinpoint inefficiencies such as:

  • Equipment running when not in use
  • Poor insulation or air leaks
  • Use of outdated technologies

Action Plan and Recommendations

Based on the audit findings, JSS AHER develops and implements an action plan to address identified energy wastage. The action plan includes:

  • Upgrading to energy-efficient systems (e.g., LED lighting, energy-efficient HVAC systems)
  • Optimizing equipment and lighting usage schedules (based on occupancy)
  • Improving building insulation to minimize heating and cooling losses

These actions are implemented systematically across the campus to enhance energy performance and reduce operational costs.

ISO Energy and Environmental Audits

In addition to regular internal energy audits, JSS AHER undergoes ISO energy and environmental audits in compliance with ISO 50001:2018 and other relevant international standards. These external audits help verify and ensure that our energy management system is effective, continuously improving, and aligned with best practices.

Ongoing Monitoring and Evaluation

Energy wastage identification is an ongoing process at JSS AHER. We continuously monitor energy consumption patterns and regularly evaluate the effectiveness of the action plans implemented. The data from energy audits and ISO reviews inform future improvements and the refinement of our energy management strategies.

Conclusion

JSS AHER consistently conducts thorough energy audits and reviews to identify and address energy wastage across the campus. These efforts are essential to our long-term sustainability goals, driving both energy efficiency and cost savings. The reports and action plans from these audits guide our continuous improvements in energy performance and contribute to reducing the institution’s carbon footprint.
