Synopsis

Climate change and Net Zero Carbon are the buzz words now a day. The first step towards achieving net zero carbon is Energy conservation and Energy efficiency improvement.
The book explains why Energy conservation and Energy efficiency improvement is required. Energy management system is the most important requirement. The various aspect of Energy management to achieve operational excellence is also explained.
The purpose of the book is to provide reader, easy and immediate guideline for each Electrical and Thermal Energy consuming equipment. There are total 20 electrical equipment and 9 Thermal equipment covered in the book. For each type of equipment, following details are given

1. Introduction of energy consumers
2. Basic Calculation
3. Approach for Energy saving
4. Checklist for operation, maintenance and Technical team with responsibility matrix

Eighty one ideas generated or implemented by me in Petrochemical and Refinery sector over 35 years of work is also explained in brief for reader to pick it up for their work area.
The requirement for preparedness for Energy Management System certification (ISO50001:2018) is also explained to get the certification and reduce energy footprint for the plant.
I believe that the idea is no one’s monopoly. But as explained by Edward de Bono in his book on Serious Creativity - Lateral Thinking that to step up to ideas, provocation is required. The provocation can be in the form of Focusing on issue, Challenge the status quo, thinking to identify alternatives or some random input while thinking. I am sure the ready reckoner will be the provocation for you to generate ideas of energy conservation and energy efficiency improvement. I expect it to reach to every professional consuming energy, therefore the price of the e-book is kept minimum possible.
I request reader to generate ideas in your areas taking clue from this ready reckoner and convert it to executable project. I also request readers to give me feedback on how many ideas are generated and how much energy saving is planned in your area.
