Your Company has taken the following energy conservation measures:
Power factor is being maintained with the use of capacitor banks and
Auto power factor correction meter. These banks are used to neutralize
the inductive current by providing capacitive current. As a result, a
power factor improves and the Company gets rebate as may be applicable
on energy bills from Electricity Distribution Companies. The overall
current consumption from the equipment also reduces which leads to
increase life cycle of the equipments like Motors and heaters.
Timers are being used to optimize the operational hours of lighting
and other load within the premises. We have started energy conservation
meeting for all the units so as to create awareness about the energy
conservation. The units like Vijayawada, Lucknow, Hyderabad, Thane,
Malleshwaram (Bangalore), Rajarhat, Central Mall (Indore) have provided
Timers for common area lightings and Signage. Digital Timers are also
used for the AHU which can precisely control the operation hours of AHU
according to the schedule of Movies. Same is being standardized for all
upcoming properties.
Successfully installed Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) for Audi AHU
motors in Multiplex Cinema theatres situated at Kanpur, Bangalore JP
nagar, Thane, Vizag beach road, Vizag CMR, ‘Rajapark, Bangalore mantri
Mall, Lucknow and Vaibhav at Jaipur, which helps us to control the
speed of Aircon motor as per the temperature and the occupancy. It
helps to optimize energy consumption for Air conditioning system.
The operation timing of HVAC system and temperature is controlled
with the help of Building Management System software (BMS) at some of
the units of the Company.
All operational units have implemented Planned Preventive Maintenance
(PPM) program where the schedule for all the engineering and projection
equipments are chalked out in advance with the PPM chart. A benefit of
the PPM program is to improve the efficiency of the machines and
minimizing breakdowns. As a part of PPM program the air conditioning
system was overhauled and chemical dosing was used to recover the loss
of ageing and reduced capacity. As a result, the electrical current
required for getting the desired result has reduced.
All the new fittings are with CFL or energy a saver, which uses less
electrical power as compared to incandescent lamps. Replaced 50 watt
Halogen lamps with 3 watt/ 9watt Led lamps in Milan, Bangalore 1,
Chennai, Jaipur C P, Nagpur and Nariman Point property.

sensor functions upon the physical movement which helps to reduce
electrical energy. This is being standardize for all upcoming
properties.

maintaining constant Voltage in the said unit irrespective of any
voltage fluctuation form electricity board. In effect the rate of
failure of bulbs, tubes and other components has been reduced
considerably.
Emphasizing on CFL and LED lamps in existing units and upcoming
