COURSE DESCRIPTION

Course No : 15A02706
Course Title : ENERGY AUDIT & DEMAND SIDE MANAGEMENT

Course Overview

This course is an illustration of methods to identify opportunities to improve the


effectiveness with which energy is used. Energy audits can be done for all kinds of
installations such as industries, utilities, commercial or office facilities, and homes.
Energy demand management, also known as demand-side management (DSM) or
demand-side response (DSR), is the modification of consumer demand for energy
through various methods such as financial incentives and behavioral change through
education.

TARGET:

1. Pass Percentage: 70%


2. First class with distinction (>=70) : 9
3. First class (60-69): 10
4. Pass Class (40-59):09
