For energy auditors

For energy auditors, the "green" light of today is the LED. A 4W LED light can replace a 100 W incandescent lamp consuming only 4% of the power needed for the lamp and providing the same amount of light, says N Chockalingam, a colleague of Nallamaruthamuthu at Ulaginoli, a green energy consultancy. Sure, the LED costs more. At around Rs 2,The accidental experiment came just weeks before the county led light bulbs council is set to publish a new report on the future of the square.800, an 18 W LED tubelight is at least five times more expensive than the regular tubelight that costs from Rs 300 to Rs 600.IT may look at first glance like a space ship has landed in fluorescent lights Leamington but fear not it's just the new night-time look of the Spa Centre.Such technology could be applied to Led lamp the development of improved surgical and medical lasers, better countermeasure lasers used by the military, But the LED lasts five times longer and the investment pays itself back in three to four years. "It's all savings for the user for the next five - six years," says Chockalingam, a former chief engineer at TNEB.'

Air conditioner is another power guzzler, followed by geyser, refrigerator, fan and television.But cyclists and pedestrians were not as happy, describing the led light light-less junction as "a bit hairy". While buying these, consumers may want to look up their "star ratings," which are provided by the Bureau of Energy Efficiency, a central standards agency. A five-star rated fan may cost more than a no-star but is much more efficient."The high-pressure deposition is unique r4i in allowing formation of such long, thin, zinc selenide fiber cores in a very confined space," Badding said.'

Builders of apartments and commercial complexes have been slow in recognizing the benefits of energy audits. Mu Moahan, chairman of the Builder Association of India's (BAI), southern Indian chapter, agrees there is not much awareness but felt it would be good to do energy audits. "The cost of energy-efficient products should come down," says N Raghunathan, secretary of BAI, which is conducting a seminar on the topic to create more awareness among its members.'

"It is our responsibility to do energy audits and deliver the benefits of energy conservation to customers," says T Chitty Babu, chairman of Akshaya Homes.

Ramalingam of Energy and Fuel Users Association says the knowledge base is there to improve energy efficiency. He cites the 2002 Energy Conservation Act, the establishment of the Bureau of Energy Efficiency, and the National Conservation Building Code. "It's now up to the state government to implement these measures."
