Energy Audit of Engineering Ladies Hostel

This paper presents a energy audit of the Ladies Hostel at Proudadevaraya Institute of Technology (PDIT), focusing on energy consumption patterns and opportunities for improving efficiency and sustainability. The audit evaluates major energyconsuming systems, including lighting, heating, ventilation, air conditioning (HVAC), and electrical appliances, based on data collected through site inspections, utility bill analysis. Findings reveal high energy usage due to outdated lighting and inefficient appliances; transitioning to LED fixtures and optimizing natural lighting can yield substantial savings. The HVAC systems, identified as significant energy loads, are recommended for replacement with energy-efficient models and routine maintenance. Common-use appliances such as refrigerators and microwaves are outdated, prompting appliance for upgrades and energyconscious behavior initiatives among residents. Overall, the proposed measures offer both economic and environmental benefits, aligning with broader sustainability goals, and conclude with practical recommendations for operational upgrades and awareness initiatives to foster long-term energy conservation in campus
