Abstract

Energy systems in India are available in form of fossil fuel and renewable fossil fuels. Oil , natural gas, coal gas, renewable energy is available in form of solar PV ,hydroelectricity, bio energy and wind. Energy is transported in form of electricity wherein uses of energy is in transport, industry and buildings, whereas buildings constitute the major part of energy. Buildings consume energy in form of space cooling, lighting, building envelops, heating, district heating, appliances and equipment. How we can manage the energy demand is by providing energy efficiency technique, policy guide as per the demand .As per the latest global electricity demand growth in 2022 reported by IEA International energy agency, there is a slight growth in electricity demand in India while Covid restrictions affected China’s growth .Having a look through social economic characteristics of the site, electricity consumption relationship between household income and occupation. This article also focuses light on per capita electricity consumption .Factors responsible for energy consumption or also required to emphasise on in the study area. Therefore, in residential sectors, electricity depends upon different variables such as household, income appliances, family size, dwelling size, major hours of lighting, cooling heating, and the reduction can be attained with the implementation of energy policies and planning interventions
