Cement Energy Environment

82 A Star Rating Program for BPO buildings has been developed by BEE which would create a demand in the market for energy efficient buildings based on actual performance in terms of Average Annual hourly Energy Performance Index (AAhEPI). This program would rate BPO buildings on a 1-5 Star scale with 5 Star labeled buildings being the most energy efficient. This programme targets BPO building located within the following 4 climatic zones: i. Warm and Humid ii. Composite iii. Hot and Dry iv. Temperate assuming an air-conditioned floor area of more than 50% of its built up area. In a developing economy like India improved energy efficiency is a primary goal which could be achieved through promotion of higher performance standards in buildings and J.K. White Cement – Gotan preaches the same in order to maintain a control on overuse of natural resources. The nurturing of a performance and J.K. White Cement gained a label of recognition, that of operating according to BEE Star Labelling energy savings standards. The New ADMIN building is located in the plant premises with desired energy saving measures.The building connected load is about 190 kW with a built-up area of about 3011 sq. m. having 55% of it as air-conditioned area and EPI for the duration between May 2018 to April 2019 is 39.24. Main Energy saving measures installed in the Participation inStar Labelling Program for office buildings result-oriented culture, based on quality, is crucial in bringing about an in-depth transformation under Energy Saving Practices to continually improve. Applying for the BEE Star Labelling Certification for our New ADM building is driven by this philosophy.
