International Hands-On Training On Energy Audit for Energy Professionals In Developing Countries
A 10-day International Hands-on Training on Energy Audit for Energy Professionals in Developing Countries will be held on the 4-14th May 2011 in Mumbai, Maharashtra, India.
There is a need to curtail energy wastage in all spheres of our lives for a better tomorrow for us and the generations to come. Versatile, energy efficient and non-polluting sources of energy have the potential to revolutionise the way we power our nations. Renewable sources of energy production are the most abundant element on earth and can be adapted to applications from powering laptop computers to vehicles to running municipal power plants with no harmful by-products and practically no emission. Individuals and organisations that are direct consumers of energy choose to conserve energy to reduce energy costs and promote economic security.
In order to deliberate on the above issues, the Centre for Science & Technology of the Non-Aligned and Other Developing Countries (NAM S&T Centre) jointly with the Centre for Energy Studies and Policy Analysis (CESPA), Trivandrum, India announces the organisation of a 10-days International Hands-on Training on Energy Audit for Energy Professionals in Developing Countries during 4-14th May 2011 at Mumbai, Maharashtra, India.
Objectives of the Training Programme
• To provide an impetus to capacity building in energy conservation in NAM and other developing countries.
• To identify the unmet needs in the sector in these countries and work toward solutions.
• To equip professionals in the developing countries with necessary hands-on training to have an understanding on the methodology of conducting an energy audit, including drawing out recommendations and reporting with special reference to:
a) Engineering industry
b) Hospital
c) Residential complex
d) Process industry
Participants will be given opportunity of exposure to:
(1) Energy star rating assessment of buildings as per Bureau of Energy Efficiency, Government of India’s norms and regulations
(2) Harmonic analysis - Harmonics are distortions in wave form leading to energy losses, often created as an undesirable side effect of inappropriate selection of energy efficiency systems like Variable Frequency Drives etc.
Programme of the Training
• Two days class room introduction
• Five days practical hands on audits under expert guidance
• One day outing/sight seeing
• Two days summing up/report making /discussion/valedictory
