Nagaraju Kaja

Abstract: The fast Increasing World Energy consumption levels are raising concerns over the depletion of natural resources and the increasing environmental pollution impacts like Ozone depletion, Climate change, global warming etc. The contribution from the developing countries towards energy consumption is increasing with increasing economic stability and population growth. In India, as per the NMEEE document, 2009, from annual consumption of 19200 KWh in 2005 only from Residential & commercial buildings, it is predicted to reach 89, 823 KWh in 2030. As India is still in the initial stage of economic development, it is expected that it will increase further in near future. Though energy conservation steps in buildings shall be the main objective of the energy policies at all he levels of governance, implementation of the energy conservation policies are in nascent stage resulting in not able to adopt energy efficiency measures in many sectors. This paper tries to present the available information about the energy consumption in building sector especially commercial buildings in India.
