3. Switch off Stand by Transformer
4. Thermostat Adjustment
5. Isolate non-AC area
6. Reduce excess illumination
7. Switch off lights in unmanned area

B. Low cost Measures :

1. Condenser stopping with compressor
2. Free Cooling
3. LED indication in Panels
4. After office hour lighting
5. Temperature setting /Thermostat change
6. Electronic Ballast
7. Energy efficient lightin
8. Condenser reorientation
9. Automatic volume control damper
10 Common Area lighting
11 Use of level-controller in pumps
 C. High Cost Measures:
1. LT to HT Conversion
2. Automatic & Remote monitoring

2. BSNL shall implement draft Energy Conservation Building code for all new

Category IV - Telephone exchange less than .5K
Category V - One administrative building preferably at SSA HQ
Category VI - One RTTC building of the Circle
Category VII - One BTS station in SSA

e. Tachometer
f. Stroboscope
g. Temperature & Humidity Monitor with RS 232 connectivity
h. Lux Meter
i. HT Megger
j. LT Megger
k. Earth Tester
l. Specific Gravity
m. Multimeter

b) The accredited energy audit team shall be provided with specialized equipment
for energy monitoring (one set at circle level) in addition to the above
instruments. PCE(E)/CE(E) shall be fully empowered to decide and procure
