Energy Conservation - Energy efficiency - Global warming

Energy efficiency and energy conservation are the two important things to be concentrated to handle today’s bottleneck of global warming due to carbon emissions. Energy efficiency is effective to use energy and Energy conservation is reduced to Energy Consumption. Government of India has created the Bureau of Energy Efficiency - an organization for promoting energy efficiency and conservation. BEE certified Energy auditor with at team involves in the consultancy activities. Energy audit has been done for a textile mill, rice mills, mines, hotel, educational institutions, hospitals, railways, etc.

About GRIHA Rating:

GRIHA - Green Rating for Integrated Habitat Assesment.

GRIHA attempts to minimize a building’s resource consumption, waste generation, and overall ecological impact to within certain nationally acceptable limits / benchmarks.

GRIHA is a rating tool that helps people assesses the performance of their building against certain nationally acceptable benchmarks. It evaluates the environmental performance of a building holistically over its entire life cycle, thereby providing a definitive standard for what constitutes a ‘green building’. The rating system, based on accepted energy and environmental principles, will seek to strike a balance between the established practices and emerging concepts, both national and international.

Soil Test Center at Sona college of Technology

Department of Civil Engineering, Sona College of Technology, conducts various types of soiltests for building construction works and also road development works that depend on the properties of soil. Soil tests for construction of buildings or any structure is the first step in construction planning to understand the suitability of soil for any proposed construction work.

The tests on soil conducted are

• Moisture content test,
• Atterberg limits tests,
• Specific gravity of soil,
• Dry density of soil and -Compaction test (Proctor’s test).

 Sona College of Technology always supports the growing community of professionals and society with a great commitment for developing successful independent consulting practices.
