The Conference is being organised by the Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE), Ministry of Power, Government of India in collaboration with GIZ under the Indo German Technical Cooperation.Shri Raj Pal, Economic Advisor, Ministry of Power and Shri Abhay Bakre, DG, BEE inaugurated the Conference in the presence of eminent experts in the field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gkseries.com\/blog\/current-affairs-quiz-2019-daily-gk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Daily Current Affairs Quiz 2019<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Speakers, Delegates, Experts and Policy Makers across 16 countries are participating in ANGAN. The participants from Central and State local authorities as well as Technology providers and Experts, practicing Architects and University Students have also been invited.The Experts will be discussing various alternative options and technologies in the field of design and construction of energy efficient Commercial as well as Residential Buildings and will suggest the effective ways in implementing the same through policies and programmes. It is estimated that an investment of Rs. 2000 billion in Building energy efficiency activities would lead to a cumulative savings of 388 Billion units of electricity for the next ten years with payback of about 2 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Eminent speakers and dignitaries like Dr Ajay Mathur\n(Director General, The Energy and Research Institute), Mr SonamWangchuk\n(Founder- Director, SELCMOL), Prof.Deo Prasad (CI &amp; CEO CRCLCL, Sydney) and\nothers from different parts of the world, gathered to debate, discuss and\ndeliberate on the aspects of sustainability in the context of inclusiveness,\ninternational cooperation and education. Stakeholders from the energy\nefficiency sector also showcased technologies in the area of insulation, AAC\nblock, Glass window, Fenestration shooting etc. for energy efficiency in\nbuildings through many parallel sessions were also organised on 18 thematic\ntracks as part of agenda of ANGAN event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The International Conference will provide a platform to\ndeliberate on interdependence between organizations, systemic sustainability\nand feedback loops for better resource efficiency. Given the formidable\nchallenge of providing adequate energy of desired quality to the consumers at\nreasonable costs, improving the efficiency in high energy consumption sectors\nlike buildings have become important component of our integrated energy policy.\nDue to lack of awareness and knowledge about latest technologies, financial\nassistance, suppliers and purchase of energy efficient equipment, etc. efforts\non energy efficiency and conservation in this sector have been moderate and\ntherefore require greater push. This event aims to provide thrust in this\ndirection so as to address such challenges faced by the stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As part of this event, an exhibition on Energy Efficient\nBuilding Material Suppliers, Technology suppliers, Research Institutions and\nUniversities displayed latest things in the Building Energy Efficiency Sector\nis also displayed. The Delegates will have opportunities to interact with\nbuilding experts and policy makers and understand the economically viable\noptions in the construction of Commercial Buildings as well as Residential\nBuilding Sector. Apart from energy savings, the emphasis is also given to other\nresources like water and other materials that can be saved in Building sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About BEE<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The BEE is a statutory body under the Ministry of Power,\nGovernment of India. It assists in developing policies and strategies with the\nprimary objective of reducing the energy intensity of the Indian economy. BEE\ncoordinates with designated consumers, designated agencies, and other\norganizations to identify and utilize the existing resources and\ninfrastructure, in performing the functions assigned to it under the Energy\nConservation Act.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An international conference ANGAN (Augmenting Nature by Green Affordable New-habitat) focussed on Energy Efficiency in Building Sector began on 9 September.
