Abstract:
Commercial Buildings are the large consumers of energy, which they use in many
different ways. In this thesis we have successfully proved that there is a huge potential
of energy savings in the commercial utilities by implementing some energy
conservation measures on the largest energy consumption equipment’s such as Light
and AC.
Bangladesh is developing country, is advancing at a quick pace because of the
expansion in industries and technologies. However, the country has been confronting a
major energy crisis for a long while to meet the growing needs. Day by day, the gap
between energy demand and supply is increase. One effecting way to minimize the gap
between supply and demand energy audit is need to conduct in commercial sectors in
regular basis. Energy audit helps to find the loss, wastage and give space for
improvements in utilization. Main objective of our thesis is to improve energy
utilization in commercial building for our country by finding energy loss, provide
method and techniques through energy audit. The data entries are facilitated by user
forms. They are calculated by MS excel sheet and the transferred to the data table.
That’s help to generates different pie charts to point the highest energy consumed sector
and their cost.
This thesis also focuses on the energy saving opportunities and the potential to reduce
energy consumption cost. This is done by replacing conventional lighting and other
important equipment with more energy efficient appliances to increase the efficiency.
The result of our study successfully demonstrated that, a substantial amount of energy
and money can be conserved, if energy audit is practice and executed.
