UT sets up efficient energy mgmt cell
Chandigarh: In a significant stride towards sustainable development, Chandigarh has elevated the energy efficiency standards of its govt infrastructure.
CB Ojha, chief engineer of UT administration, Sunday said an energy management cell, state designated agency (SDA), has been set up under the engineering department to promote energy conservation and efficiency.
In recognition of the critical importance of energy efficiency, a State Energy Efficiency Action Plan was prepared by the SDA in collaboration with the Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE), New Delhi, and was subsequently approved by the administrator, UT Chandigarh, last August.
In accordance with the measures outlined in the Action Plan, Chandigarh administration initiated the replacement of conventional electrical light fittings and HVAC systems in existing govt buildings with energy-efficient alternatives.
To validate the energy savings achieved, the SDA, under the Star Rating Programme of the BEE, actively participated in benchmarking the energy performance of govt buildings.
The BEE gives star ratings based on the Energy Performance Index (EPI), where a 1-Star rating indicates the least energy savings and a 5-Star rating represents the highest level of energy efficiency.
As a result of these efforts, five govt buildings — including Deluxe Building and Additional Deluxe Building, Sector 9D — got star ratings.

The Deluxe Building, which previously held 2 stars, and the Additional Deluxe Building, previously unrated, have now both achieved 4-star ratings.
These improvements are attributed to significant enhancements in energy performance, including optimised lighting systems, improved HVAC operations, and the adoption of advanced energy management practices.
The chief engineer further said Paryavaran Bhawan, Sector 19, has been awarded a 5-Star Rating in recognition of its exemplary energy performance.
In addition, the NITTTR Building and the former Smart City Limited Office Building have also earned 5 star ratings.
