Abstract
Energy plays a important role in all day to day activities, especially those that are energy intensive. An Energy audit plays a major role in reduction of new power generation. It can help us to determine the energy wasting deficiencies in homes, firms, factories, industries and can show exactly how to address these problems. A detailed study to establish and investigate optimal utilization of lighting for specific department has been carried out in this work. The energy audit of University library has been executed with formulated procedure and proposed recommendation. The suggested implementation can improve the energy efficiency of library and thereby reducing the energy wastage.
