Question

In this assignment, you will research and briefly identify the energy conservation measures that reduce a building’s energy use byreducing one or more of the heating/cooling/electricalloadsexperienced by that building. (hint : ground source heat pumps, etc. donotreduce the building load, they merely are a more efficient manner of meeting the building load.)Then selectoneof the conservation measures you have identified above, and prepare a written report,1500 wordsin length, and illustrated as required.Make sure you follow guidelines re: footnotes, identification of all sources and plagiarism.The reportmustsummarise how the measure reduces building load and hence saves energy, what building science principles are involved, how successful the measure is in practice, what limitations there are in using this measure, and how much can typically be saved.All of these areas must be addressed in order to obtain full marks.The Report is to be submitted to me electronically in PDF format byMidnight, Saturday March 30, 2013 ,and is worth 15% of your final mark in the Course. Late submissions are penalized 10% per calendar-day.

Energy conservation measures
We can understand energy conservation measures by considering one example as mentioned below
If we consider energy consumption in residential areas, we may say that consumption of energy mainly depends on following factors
1. Window & doors
2. HVAC
3. Lighting system
4. Refrigeration system
5. Structure 
If we consider energy consumption in case of industrial field, we may see there that energy consumption mainly depends on the process and type of equipments for example if they use arc furnace instead of induction furnace for melting steel then they will consume more energy as compared to other those are using induction furnace for same process as arc furnaces consume more power as compared to induction furnace.
Energy conservation measures are defined as a project which is implemented in order to reduce the consumption of energy in commercial or residential buildings.
Energy conservation measures types:
1. Water Conservation
2. Lighting system
3. Window & doors
4. Structures
5. Insulations
6. Electrical systems
7. Energy management control system
8. Motor & equipments
9. Renewable energy system
10. HVAC ( heating ventilation and air conditioning )
11. Air systems
12. Central cooling & heating units
13. System for heat recovery
Let’s consider lighting system 
As we know that energy plays a vital role in country’s economical development hence it is very important to use energy efficient lighting system so that we can save energy and contribute in the development of our country.
The meaning of energy efficiency is to secure the same output by using lesser quantity of energy. For example before some years peoples are using incandescent light bulb or lamps which is also known as traditional bulbs, but now day’s peoples are using fluorescent bulbs or lights. If we consider between these two bulbs we may see that function of both are same but fluorescent bulbs or lights consume only 25 percentage of energy to provide the same output or we can say that by replacing incandescent light bulb or bulbs with fluorescent bulbs or lights saves energy by 75 percentage .one more thing which is very interesting that we will not only save energy but also we can reduce the pollution levels by using fluorescent bulbs or lights instead of incandescent light bulb or lamps. Energy consumption data shows that lighting system contributes 15% of total energy consumption for developing countries.
Let us consider one data provided by a developing country where we can see the total consumption of electricity and consumption of electricity for lighting in different areas.
	Areas/Sectors
	Total consumption of electricity in percentage 
	Electricity consumed for lighting system in percentage of total consumption of electricity 
	Industry 
	49
	4 to 5
	Domestic
	10
	50 to 90
	commercial
	17
	4 to 5
	Rest 
	24
	1.
