National Energy Conservation Day, 2020

December 14, 2020

Energy conservation is the effort made to reduce the consumption of energy by using less of an energy service. This can be achieved either by using energy more efficiently or by reducing the amount of service used. Energy conservation is a part of the concept of Eco sufficiency. Energy Conservation measures in buildings reduce the need for energy services and can result in increased environmental quality, national security, personal financial security and higher savings. It is at the top of the sustainable energy hierarchy. It also lowers energy costs by preventing future resource depletion.

National Energy Conservation Day is celebrated every year on 14th December in India. In India Energy Conservation Act was implemented by Energy Efficiency Bureau in 2001. Energy Efficiency Bureau is a constitutional body which works under Government of India and helps in the development of policies and strategies to reduce use of energy.

The main objective of Energy Conservation Act in India is to appoint professional, qualified and energetic managers and auditors who have expertise in policy making, financial management and implementation of energy related projects.
