The Energy Auditing is the key to the utilization which balance out the circumstance of energy crisis by providing the conservation schemes. The accompanying paper has been set up so as to encourage our comprehension of the energy consumption pattern of the Residence of hostel building in Agricultural Engineering College and Research Institute, Trichy. In the hostel, most of the energy usage spent on enlightenment and cooking purpose by the means of electricity and Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG). The accompanying paper presents the identification of zones of energy wastage and estimation of energy sparing potential in the hostel which has been made by walk-through energy Audit. Likewise, a detailed examination of data gathered is done by recommending cost-effective measures to improve the efficiency of energy use. Estimation of implementation costs and payback periods for each recommended action has been made. Based on the analysis of auditing exercise, some recommendations were suggested to reduce the electric energy consumptions which can reach up to 49.8%. The LPG for cooking can be partially reduced by implementing a steam cooking system in the hostel. The results will be beneficial for the operation and maintenance team to manage electrical and LPG usage and reduce the hostel overall expenditure.
