1. Energy conservation and management Unit 1: Introduction For TY Mechanical Open Elective II By Bilal 1

2. Introduction: Energy Conservation and Management Energy conservation and management refer to the practices, strategies, and technologies aimed at reducing energy consumption, improving efficiency, and optimizing the use of energy resources Energy Audits Efficient Equipment and Technologies Building Design and Retrofitting Behavioural Changes and Awareness Energy Management Systems (EMS) Renewable Energy Integration Energy Policies and Incentives Training and Education 2

3. General energy problem a wide range of challenges and issues related to energy production, distribution, consumption, and sustainability. These problems can vary depending on factors such as geographic location, economic conditions, technological advancements, and environmental concerns. Energy Security Climate Change Mitigation Energy Access and Equity Energy Affordability Environmental Impact Energy Transition Energy Efficiency Energy Infrastructure Modernization Energy Policy and Regulation Energy Storage Public Awareness and Education 3

4. Energy use patterns Understanding energy use patterns is essential for identifying opportunities for energy conservation. Energy use patterns refer to the distribution of energy consumption across different sectors, such as residential, commercial, industrial, and transportation, as well as the types of energy sources used within each sector. Residential Sector Commercial Sector Industrial Sector Transportation Sector 4

5. Scope of Conservation The scope of energy conservation encompasses various strategies and measures aimed at reducing energy consumption and improving energy efficiency across different sectors. By addressing energy use patterns and implementing a comprehensive scope of conservation measures, communities, businesses, and individuals can reduce energy consumption, lower costs, mitigate environmental impacts, and contribute to a more sustainable and resilient energy future Energy Efficiency Measures (efficiency of energy-consuming devices) Behavioural Changes ( individuals and organizations ) Building Design and Retrofits Policy and Regulation ( efficiency standards, building codes, incentives, and regulations ) Technological Innovation Education and Outreach 5
