PHILOSOPHY OF ENERGY AUDIT
Through energy audit, we optimize the consumption of
fuel i.e. coal, electricity petroleum products etc.
To spread the benefits obtained through Energy Audit
in any one industry to entire cluster
To replicate the benefit obtained through Energy Audit
in other industries through Education Campaign and
ITPs
Sponsor R &D projects identified from Energy Audit.
