The procedure of auditing starts by reviewing the historical data of consumption of energy which can be further collected from the electricity bills. By using these data we are capable to comprehend the forms of energy used and also their trend. After attaining the information based on energy consumption, an energy audit would be our next step. This program will further involve the site survey in order to acquire information on present energy used. An energy audit conducted in this paper indicates some of the opportunities that energy auditor can study after performing an analysis of this institute. An energy audit was conducted in the administrative block of Uttaranchal University and suitable approaches of adjusting and improving energy were recommended so as to decrease the energy requirements and hence the overall cost spent towards energy consumption.
