Conversion of administrative complex as Net Zero in Central Electronics Limited, India

The paper presents the initiation to convert a 35 years old building into a Net Zero Complex in Central Electronics Limited (CEL), Sahibabad using Solar Photovoltaic Technology. The procedures employed to reduce electricity consumption to make the complex as Net Zero were discussed. Measures were taken to optimize the energy consumption of the building. Rooftop Solar Photovoltaic power plants after assessing the different PV technologies available in the market were installed to cater to the energy needs of the building. The energy generated through solar surpassed the energy demands of the building. Measures are being taken to accommodate future loads by employing passive solar concepts.
