Handbook on Energy Audit and Environment ManagementThe Handbook on Energy Audit and Environment Management deals at length with the energy audits and takes a closer look at the concept of environment management. TERI endeavours to bring its experience of over two decades in the field of energy audits and provides methodology and guidelines to those involved in this field. Energy audits may be considered as the first step towards understanding how energy is being used in a given facility. It indicates the ways in which different forms of energy are being used and quantifies energy use according to discrete functions. The book offers an overview on industrial energy conservation. It also enables users to understand the operation of various equipment and system, and to identify opportunities for energy savings in industries. It is a must-read for every professional interested in energy management and energy audit. |

Page 33 - Metal halide These lamps are similar in construction and appearance to mercury vapour lamps. The addition of metal halide gases to mercury gas within the lamp results in higher light output, more lumens per watt, and better colour rendition than from mercury gas alone. Metal halide lamps are used to light large indoor areas such as gymnasiums and sports arenas, and for outdoor areas such as car parks or any other place where the colour rendition is important.

Page 254 - Paragraph 43 provides that a project is considered to be additional if anthropogenic emissions by sources are reduced below those that would have occurred in the absence of the registered CDM project activity.
Page 34 - Low-pressure sodium lamps work somewhat like fluorescent lamps. They are the most efficient artificial lighting, have the longest service life, and maintain their light output better than any other lamp type. Lowpressure sodium lighting is used where color is not important because it renders all colors as tones of yellow or gray. Typical applications include highway and security lighting.
Page 37 - ... outdoor lights on at dusk and off at dawn, for example. Advanced designs gradually raise and lower fluorescent light levels with changing daylight levels. • Mechanical or electronic time clocks automatically turn on and off indoor or outdoor lights for security, safety, and tasks such as janitorial work. • Crank timers, which are spring-driven and similar to old oven timers, limit lights to short durations where the need for light is brief. • Occupancy sensors activate lights when a person...
