The document discusses various initiatives to make NITT more environmentally friendly including going solar with installations like solar shades and louvers, implementing smart lighting sensors that detect sound and occupancy, and how the financial savings from reducing electricity usage could pay for the sensor installation costs within a year. It also covers recycling and reuse programs, addressing issues from stray cattle, improving drainage, conserving water, using energy monitors, and repurposing old bicycles rather than trashing them as part of the overall goal of making NITT a pride of India.
7. See the numbers for yourselves
1 floor consumes 5 rs electricity every hour
For 6 hrs(one night), we save 30rs per floor.
1 hostel=3floors. 1 hostel saves 30 x 3 =90rs
per night.
Total no of hostels= 19+5=24. Money saved
per night= 24 x 90 =2,160rs.
So in a year we save 2,160 x 365= 7,88,400rs.
Sensor cost =1000rs per floor
Cost for all hostels= 24 x 3 x 1000= 72000rs.
