J.S.Soharu, DGM - Electrical Mr. G.R.Tripathi, DGM - Electrical Mr. Bhupender Singh, DM – Electrical. Energy Efficiency in Construction. World over, today the major thrust and Focus is on constructing environment friendly buildings. The concept is slowly spreading across various other countries across the globe, including India. Construction Industry in India is growing at a stunning 30 %. If this growth is to be sustainable, adoption of energy efficient housing sector is a necessity. This would go a long way in addressing the national priorities of water conservation and energy efficiency. Boom in Real Estate in our Energy starving country is again imposing high power and energy requirements threats, to over come this threat we need to design energy efficient buildings, selection and use of energy efficient equipments to be installed inside the building as Major chunk of power is shared by high rise commercial complexes, institutional buildings and malls which are flourishing all around now a days. Building Energy Saving The Building Envelope The building envelope consists of the walls, windows, doors, roof, floor and foundation. This exoskeleton does much more than simply contains the conditioned air for the comfort of the occupants. It is also a major contributor to the heating and cooling load. Heat moves through each of these elements, into the building in the summer and out of it in the winter. The higher the temperature difference the greater the flow of heat. The quantity of heat is also dependent on the quality of the insulation: better insulation increases the thermal resistance of the building envelope. Many projects focus on this principle of building design as a cheap, effective way to lower energy consumption. Windows Glass Facades : Windows have the lowe
