Energy is the largest controllable cost in most Indian plants. Few people can audit it properly.

The Energy Conservation Act 2001 requires designated consumers to appoint certified energy managers and conduct periodic energy audits. The Bureau of Energy Efficiency administers that certification, and demand for qualified people consistently outstrips supply.

PGVDEMA covers energy accounting and benchmarking, thermal and electrical systems, audit instrumentation and measurement, energy economics and project appraisal, renewable integration, and the statutory framework under the Energy Conservation Act and BEE guidelines.

One year, 40 credits, with a practical component and an industry energy audit project. Built as a structured pathway for candidates heading towards BEE certification.

Where PGVDEMA graduates land.

PGVDEMA runs on the NBC-AUDIT PATHWAY.

NBC-AUDIT PATHWAY

Every module closes on a live audit case: a real facility, a real energy bill, a real inefficiency. Students take the measurements, build the energy balance, cost the savings and write the audit report with a payback analysis.

By the end of the year a graduate has produced a full industrial energy audit, which is the deliverable the job actually asks for.

Is PGVDEMA for you?

This is for you if

  • You are an engineering, science or management graduate heading towards BEE certification.
  • You work in plant utilities, maintenance or sustainability and want the formal audit qualification.
  • Your organisation is a designated consumer under the Energy Conservation Act.

This is not for you if

  • You want fire or industrial safety rather than energy. Take PGVDISM or PGVDFSHM.
  • You are a fresh Class 12 student. Start at a Vocational Diploma.

Every plant pays an energy bill it has never properly audited.
