Selected as part of a student energy audit team formed to investigate rising electricity costs across the CUSAT campus. Conducted on-site energy surveys across multiple department buildings campus-wide, inspecting equipment, wiring, and appliance conditions. Identified major sources of energy loss: aging fans, tube lights, and machinery; faulty wiring and switches; and inefficient appliances. Compiled findings into a survey-based report highlighting inefficiencies and areas of concern. Recommended solar power adoption as the primary long-term mitigation strategy to offset campus electricity consumption.
