Abstract-Pakistan today is facing a serious energy crisis due to the alarming depletion of energy resources and increasing demand of the industry, which has badly affected our industrial sector in general. No doubt, this situation has emerged globally, but this is also a fact that these energy crises in our industrial sector are due to orthodox processes, conventional infrastructures/buildings, inefficient HVAC systems, inadequate use of electrical and mechanical equipment, non compliance to standard inspection techniques which has resulted higher energy losses. This study reveal to the management of the factors, (i.e. housekeeping, control of operations and infrastructure), affecting the performance of AC plants of the spinning subsector of textile industry. Energy audits were conducted to collect data. The data was analyzed and it was concluded that along with the technological interventions we need to introduce green infrastructure in AC plants of spinning mills.
Pakistan is facing severe shortage of energy. The gap between demand and supply is gradually increasing leading to heavy load shedding. This crisis has badly affected the life of people and economic growth of Pakistan which appears as a barrier in the long-term future. Along with other reasons, energy losses by the end user are one of most important aspect of energy crisis. To cope with this situation proper interventions are needed. Building sector is one of the major energy consumers and source of energy wastages if not properly managed. The energy losses in buildings are due to installation of inefficient equipments and improper utilization of electrical & mechanical systems. It is also observed that, energy efficiency parameters & standards are not being kept under considerations during the designing and construction of new buildings, which is resulting in high consumption of energy. Keeping in view the importance of building energy consumption and its impacts, Energy Audits of public sector building i.e. Pakistan Secretariat (Block A, B, C, D, P, R and S) were conducted. The sample was comprised of old and new buildings. After analysis of data gathered through energy audits, up to 30 % of Energy Saving Opportunities were identified. In this paper, some technical parameters regarding windows to wall ratio, lighting, AC, building envelop and water treatment having high impact on energy consumption and comfort level in the building, are identified which may be adopted as per local environmental conditions.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
