Introduction to Program
Energy has emerged as one of the major issues in recent years. Energy requirement in developing economies is
increasing rapidly. The gap between demand and supply of energy continues to increase. Energy conservation
and energy efficiency are the quickest, cheapest and most practical methods of overcoming energy shortages. In
industry, energy expenses are among the top three in terms of expenditure. It is now accepted that there exists a
large scope of energy conservation in the Industry through systematic energy management. There is an urgent
need for energy management personnel in almost all fields of economic activities, including the residential,
