The document discusses the importance of energy conservation, outlining definitions, benefits, and methods to reduce energy consumption. It highlights the distinction between renewable and non-renewable energy sources and emphasizes the need for awareness and action in India, particularly through government initiatives like the energy conservation bill and national energy conservation day. Ultimately, it calls for collective efforts in conservation to manage energy resources efficiently and sustainably.

The earth provides enough to satisfy every
man’s needs but not every man’s greed.
Hence we need to make energy
conservation a habit.

5. Energy + Conservation
is the effort made to reduce the consumption of energy by using
less of an energy service. This can be achieved either by
using energy more efficiently or by reducing the amount of
service used .

6. “Energy is the ability to do work
Energy comes in different forms:
6
Heat (thermal)
Light (radiant) Motion (kinetic)
Chemical
Nuclear Energy
Electrical
Gravitational

7. Energy sources
are divided into two groups:
✘ Renewable (an energy source that which can be used
repeatedly and replaced naturally)
✘ Nonrenewable (an energy source that cannot be
readily replaced by natural means on a level equal to its
consumption)

8. Renewable Energy

9. There are five main renewable energy sources :
✘ Solar energy from the sun
✘ Geothermal energy from heat inside the earth
✘ Wind energy
✘ Biomass from plants
✘ Hydropower from flowing water

Non - Renewable Energy

12. Disadvantages of non-renewable energy
 It produces greenhouse gases.
 Its by products cause damage to the environment.
 Once exhausted they are not easily replenished.
 Rising cost.
 Its residual products are generally non-biodegradable.
 Its products pose potential threat to human health.
 Responsible for acid rain.

Conservation
The first step is– consume
a little less.
Energy conservation is
only part of the solution, in
a growing economy.
Demand Side Management (DSM)
is the mechanism of reducing or
shifting of energy consumption
through efficiency.
When the system is Modified
to use energy efficiently , less
renewable energy is needed

National Energy Conservation Day
Objective
The objective to celebrate the National Energy Conservation Day is to drive mass
awareness about the importance of energy efficiency and conservation.
The National Energy Conservation Day is being celebrated every year on
December 14 since 1991. The Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE), under
Ministry of Power spearheads the celebrations every year.
Activities taken up on this day -
BEE recognizes and encourages endeavor of industries in reducing energy
consumption by felicitating them with National Energy Conservation Awards.
BEE also awards prizes to the national winners of the annual National Painting
Competition on Energy Conservation.

 In India , government haspassed “Energy Conservation Bill,
2001 ” for better utilization of energy and conservation of the
same.
 Bythis act, it is mandatory for energy intensive sectors to get
their “energy audit ” conducted by energyauditor.
 Bureau of energy efficiency : this body keeps watch on energy
consumption patterns, develops norm for appliancesetc.
 Star ratings : BEE hasalso initiated “star rating system” for
electrical appliances e.g. - CFL’S, Geysers , Refrigerator,etc
ENERGY CONSERVATION IN ‘INDIA’

20. Conservation Of Energy At
Various Levels
 Energy conservation at household level
 Energy conservation at community level
 Energy conservation in industry and other places
 Energy conservation in transportation sector

Conclusions
Energy is in short supply in India, and is expensive, especially for industry.
Management of Energy Resources is a important part of power system . So
as to save natural resources the conservation of energy has to done at
different levels i.e. at social and commercial level.
With use of more energy efficient technologies, many businesses could cut
their energy consumption by up to 20 %
More renewable resources can be used at consumer level for energy
conservation.
It is more important to provide education regarding energy conservation to
the general mass.
Thus we can say that Energy Conservation can improve the possibility of
Energy fulfillment.
