Abstract: This paper identifies basic electrical infrastructure error in a building by the method of energy auditing done in a 15-Story Building as a reference. As per the NMEEE (National Mission for Enhanced Energy Efficiency) document, annual consumption of 89,823 KWh is predicted to reach by 2030. Energy Conservation Building Code has set minimum energy standards for a commercial building having a connected load of 100 KW or contract demand of 120 KVA and above. To obtain those standards a close inspection of the building was performed. Energy consumption growth rate in commercial buildings (8%) is more than that of Residential sector (5%), therefore in order to construct a smart building and have sustainable energy consumption the 15-story building was monitored closely for around five months. This was done in order to suggest new methods to reduce the overall power consumption and provide various techniques which could be employed to increase the efficiency of the building. To find out the power consumption of the 15-Story Building the total number of electrical and electronic appliances in the Smart Building were counted and penned down. Find out the total consumption by the electrical and electronic appliances in a given time period. Find out if the current power consumption is out of bounds. Develop new and practical methods which are to be employed to reduce the overall power consumption of the Smart Building. Compare the overall power consumption taken up if the new methods are to be implemented to the previously calculated power consumption.
