He appreciated APSECM for their quick action in carrying out energy efficiency program implementation.
APSECM has conducted Investment grade energy audit through BEE Empanelled Accredited Energy Auditing firm and implemented energy efficiency recommendations identified in the IGEA report with financial support provided by BEE and without any burden on AP Bhavan. As per the IGEA report of AP Bhavan, it is estimated to save around 1.96 lakh units of electrical energy per annum worth of Rs. 39 Lakhs with reduction of around 139 tons of CO2 emissions. The investment proposed for energy efficiency measures is around Rs.35 lakhs with payback in just 13 months.
Out of the total recommended measures in AP Bhavan, APSECM has implemented several energy efficiency measures to the extent of financial assistance provided by BEE that includes installation of 12 No’s of 190W LED Flood Lights in place of existing Halogen Lamps for Stage Lighting, 170 No’s of 28W BLDC Ceiling Fan in place of existing conventional Ceiling Fans, 14 No’s of 1.8 TR 3 STAR rated Hot and Cold Inverter type Split ACs and 40 No’s of Motion Sensor for controlling of lights at corridors. These measures are expected to save 49,469 units of energy per annum worth of monetary savings of Rs. 6.25 lakhs to AP Bhavan.
