Green Audit Report, GCW, KOLAR.
INTRODUCTION: Green Audit is a process of systematic identification, quantification, recording, reporting and
analysis of components of environmental diversity of institute. It aims to analyze environmental
practices within and outside of the concerned place, which will have an impact on the eco-
friendly atmosphere. Green audit is a valuable means for a college to determine how and where
they are using the most energy or water or other resources; the college can then consider how to
implement changes and make savings. It can create health consciousness and promote
environmental awareness, values and ethics. It provides staff and students better understanding of
Green impact on campus. If self-enquiry is a natural and necessary outgrowth of a quality
education, it could also be stated that institutional self-enquiry is a natural and necessary
outgrowth of a quality educational institution. Thus it is imperative that the college evaluate its
own contributions toward a sustainable future. As environmental sustainability is becoming an
increasingly important issue for the nation, the role of higher educational institutions in relation
to environmental sustainability is more prevalent.
The rapid urbanization and economic development at local, regional and global level has led to
several environmental and ecological crises. On this background it becomes essential to adopt the
system of the Green Campus for the institutes which will lead for sustainable development and at
the same time reduce a sizable amount of atmospheric CO2 from the environment. The National
Assessment and Accreditation Council, New Delhi (NAAC) has made it mandatory that all
Higher Educational Institutions should submit an annual Green Audit Report. Moreover, it is part
of Corporate Social Responsibility of the Higher Educational Institutions to ensure that they
contribute towards the reduction of global warming through carbon footprint reduction measures.
OBJECTIVES:
In recent time, the Green Audit of an institution has been becoming a paramount important for
self-assessment of the institution which reflects the role of the institution in mitigating the
present environmental problems. The college has been putting efforts to keep our environment
clean since its inception. Therefore, the purpose of the present green audit is to identify, quantify,
describe and prioritize framework of Environment Sustainability in compliance with the
applicable regulations, policies and standards. The main objectives of carrying out Green Audit
are:
To map the Geographical Location of the college
To document the floral and faunal diversity of the college
To record the meteorological parameter of Kolar. where college is situated
To document the ambient environmental condition of weather, air, water and noise of the
college
To document the waste disposal system
To estimate the Energy requirements of the college
To report the expenditure on green initiatives during the last five years

GREEN AUDITING:
The college has adopted the ‘Green Campus’ system for environmental conservation and
sustainability. There are main three pillars i.e. zero environmental foot print, positive impact on
occupant health and performance and 100% graduates demonstrating environmental literacy. The
goal is to reduce CO2 emission, energy and water use, while creating atmosphere where students
can learn and be healthy.
Green audit was initiated with the beginning of 1990s with the motive of inspecting the work
conducted within the organizations whose exercises can cause risk to the health of inhabitants
and the environment. It exposes the authenticity of the proclamations made by multinational
companies, armies and national governments with the concern of health issues as the
consequences of environmental pollution. It is the duty of organizations to carry out the Green
Audits of their ongoing processes for various reasons such as; to make sure whether they are
performing in accordance with relevant rules and regulations, to improve the procedures and
ability of materials, to analyze the potential duties and to determine a way which can lower the
cost and add to the revenue. Through Green Audit, one gets a direction as how to improve the
condition of environment and there are various factors that have determined the growth of
carrying out Green Audit. Some of the incidents like Bhopal Gas Tragedy (Bhopal; 1984),
Chernobyl Catastrophe (Ukraine; 1986) and Exxon strategies for environmental security
elements have no meaning until they are implemented.
Green Audit is assigned to the Criteria 7 of NAAC, National Assessment and Accreditation
Council which is a self-governing organization of India that declares the institutions as Grade
‘A’, Grade ‘B’ or Grade ‘C’ according to the scores assigned at the time of accreditation.
The intention of organizing Green Audit is to upgrade the environment condition in and
around the institutes, colleges, companies and other organizations. It is carried out with the aid of
performing tasks like waste management, energy saving and others to turn into a better
environmental friendly institute.

LAND USE ANALYSIS, Government College For Women, KARNATAKA (As on 29-10-
2019):
GENERAL OVERVIEW OF THE CONCEPT OF LANDUSE
Land use refers to man’s activities and the various uses which are carried on and derived from
land. Viewing the earth from space, it is now very crucial in man’s activities on natural resource.
In situations of rapid changes in land use, observations of the Earth from space give the
information of human activities and utilization of the landscape.
Remote sensing and GIS techniques are now providing new tools for advanced land use mapping
and planning. The collection of remotely sensed data facilitates the synoptic analyses of earth
system, functions, patterning, and change in the local, regional as well as at global scales over
time. Satellite imagery particularly is a valuable tool for generating land use map.
METHODOLOGY ADOPTED FOR LAND USE MAPPING
Three types of data that are GPS points, field survey data and Google earth data for Geo
referencing have been used in this study. Land use map of the study area have been prepared
using the above three types of data with the help of ArcGisProsoftware.
DATA PROCESSING AND ANALYSIS
Land use map preparation is executed through the following steps:
Acquisition of data (Location: 130 8
1 N, 78
0 9
1 E), Geo-coding and Geo referencing of satellite
imageries by extracting the ground control points. Supervised classification was carried out with
the aid of ground truth data collected during field survey. Scanning and digitization of maps and
editing of all the Georeferenced maps were done using GIS. Data manipulation and analysis and
linking the spatial data with the attribute data for creation of topology was carried out using GIS
software. Creation of GIS output in the form of land use map showing various land use have
been prepared.
Therefore, attempt has been made in this study to map land use for GCW, Kolar., Karnataka with
a view to detect the land consumption in the built-up land area using both remote sensing and
GIS techniques.

FINDINGS:
GCW, which was established in the year 1984, has an eco-friendly environment. It has a long
legacy of healthy environmental practices including periodic plantation, their preservation and
maintenance. Its land use is such that about 75% of the total area is occupied by open land and
plantation that generates a better and sustainable campus environment.
The Land use analysis Report is prepared under the supervision of GCW, Kolar.
TREE DIVERSITY OF GCW, KOLAR, KARNATAKA:
GCW is within the geo-position between latitude 130 8
1 N and longitude 78
0 9
1 E in Kolar.,
Karnataka, India. It encompasses an area of about 03 Acres. The area is immensely diverse with
a variety of tree species performing a variety of functions. Most of these tree species are planted
in different periods of time through various plantation programmesorganised by the authority and
have become an integral part of the college. The trees of the college have increased the quality of
life, not only the college fraternity but also the people around of the college in terms of
contributing to our environment by providing oxygen, improving air quality, climate
amelioration, conservation of water, preserving soil, and controlling climate by moderating the
effects of the sun, rain and wind. Leaves absorb and filter the sun’s radiant energy, keeping
things cool in summer. Many spices of birds are dependent on these trees mainly for food and
shelter. Nectar of flowers and plants is a favorite of birds and many insects. Leaf – covered
branches keep many animals, such as birds and squirrels, out of reach of predators. Different
species display a seemingly endless variety of shapes, forms, texture and vibrant colours. Even
individual trees vary their appearance throughout the course of the year as the seasons change.
The strength, long lifespan and regal stature of trees give them a monument – like quality. They
also remind us the glorious history of Kolar. and our institution in particular. We often make an
emotional connection with these trees and sometime become personally attached to the ones that
we see every day. A thick belt of large shady trees in the periphery of the college have found to
be bringing down noise and cut down dust and storms. Thus, the college has been playing a
significant role in maintaining the environment of the entire campus, and its surrounding areas.
The following are the tree species with whom we are being attached-

The likes of an alluvial plain are strong characteristics of the city of Kolar. and its
surroundings. The city does have a Central location in the plan region. The geographical co-
ordinate of Kolar. are 30.6435° N, 76.3970° E. The city has an average altitude of 808 feet or
246 meters from the average sea level. The erstwhile land of Kolar. was very much feasible for
peanut cultivation with sand dunes. However a lot of irrigation and environmental changes have
made the land more viable for wheat cultivation.
The climatic conditions bear a strong resemblance with the other cities in the northern part of
India. The summers are usually very hot and the winters are very cold. The summers are
prevalent during the months of April to September with June, July, August till mid September
being the hottest months. The winter is prevalent from the month of November till the month of
March. There is onset of Monsoon in September and from mid of September till November one
experiences the transitional weather.

AIR QUALITY IN KOLAR AND GOVERNMENT COLLEGE FOR
WOMEN:
The ambient air quality data for Kolar and Government College for Women for the last one year
shows that there are very less polluted particles in ambient air; AQI for SO2 & NOX parameters
are within the range of Indian living standards, there are a number of factors responsible for this
cleanliness, calmness and serenity in this area. Firstly, population which is most responsible for
all the problems and hurdles in smooth living is lowest here of all the districts of Karnataka.
Secondly, in this area more trees have been planted as compared to other cities. A very beautiful
and historical park loaded with a large number and variety of trees known as “Kuvempu Park” is
situated here which reminds us the era of great Gangas Dynasty. Furthermore, no air polluting
industry is established here not even in a radius of 4 Km of Kolar. area. The NH-75 is also
approximately 5-6 kilometres away from the city, which might be responsible for heavy density
traffic throughout the year and thus might be causing lot of vehicular emissions as well as a lot of
dust emissions due to the movement of vehicular traffic. Therefore, the ambient air quality of
Kolar. Area falls in between moderate to rich quality s The Karnataka Pollution Control Board is

WATER ANALYSIS REPORT OF GCW:
Water quality testing is important because it identifies contaminants and prevents water-
borne diseases. Drinking or using contaminated water can result in severe illness or death.
That is why it is important to ensure that drinking water is safe, clean and free from bacteria
and disease.
The parameters for water quality are determined by the intended use. Work in the area of
water quality tends to be focused on water that is treated for human consumption, or in the
environment.
Drinking water indicators:
The following is a list of indicators often measured by situational category:
Alkalinity
Color of water
pH value
Taste and odor (geosmin, 2-Methylisoborneol (MIB),etc.)

NOISE LEVEL IN THE SURROUNDING OF GCW:
The human ear is constantly being assailed by man-made sounds from all sides, and there remain
few places in populous areas where relative quiet prevails. There are two basic properties of
sound: Loudness and Frequency.
Loudness is the strength of sensation of sound perceived by the individual. It is measured in
terms of Decibels. Just audible sound is about 10 dB, a whisper about 20 dB, library place 30 dB,
normal conversation about 35-60 dB, heavy street traffic 60-0 dB, boiler factories 120 dB, jet
planes during take-off is about 150 dB, rocket engine about 180 dB. The loudest sound a person
can stand without much discomfort is about 80 dB. Sounds beyond 80 dB can be safely regarded
as Pollutant as it harms hearing system. The WHO has fixed 45 dB as the safe noise level for a
city. For international standards a noise level up to 65 dB is considered tolerate. Loudness is also
expressed in sones. One sone equals the loudness of 40 dB sound pressure at 1000 Hz. Frequency
is defined as the number of vibration per second. It is denoted as Hertz(Hz).

DESCRIPTION OF THE COLLEGE SITE
The site of the GCW is bounded to the North by the post-graduate center and Women’s hostel,
Kolaramma Lake to the East, A Gangamma Temple and other commercial establishments etc.,
to the South by a side road and to the west by the college main gate road. Below photo shows the
satellite image of the college site.
MEASUREMENT PROCEDURE
The noise level was recorded at the different Important Locations of GCW, KOLAR.. At each
spot, the measurements were taken for 60 seconds during day time (6 AM- 6 PM) and noted
down the measurements. Screen shots of the measurements of noise were taken immediately on
the app at the time of 60th second of each measurement.
WASTE DISPOSAL OF GCW:
Waste disposal are the activities and actions required to manage waste from its inception to its
final disposal. This includes the collection, transport, treatment and disposal of waste, together
with monitoring and regulation of the waste management process.
The waste from all around the college is separated daily as wet and dry waste in different
bags which are disposed separately. Dry waste includes paper, cardboard, glass tin cans etc. on
the other hand; wet waste refers to organic waste such as vegetable peds, left-over food etc.
Separation of waste is essential as the amount of waste being generated today causes immense
problem. The material was composted and evaluated as a fertilizing material. Disposal of these
waste results in the production of good quality organic manure that can be used as soil
amendments and source of plant nutrients.With smart initiatives like “Think Green Campus
Model”, waste management is helping colleges and universities to achieve a higher level of
environmental performance. By reusing or recycling we are contributing to the conservation of
natural resources, saving energy, helping to protect the environment, reducing landfill. We will
also reduce our impact on the environment by minimizing the carbon emissions associated with
both disposing of old products and obtaining new ones. GCW adopts environment friendly
practices and takes necessary actions such as – energy conservation, waste recycling,carbon
neutral etc. The biological reusable waste is processed as organic manure for the plants available
in the college campus and the other solid waste generated in the college campus is taken to the
community bin of Kolar. municipality for recycling and disposal.

Green Audit Report, GCW, Kolar.
TRANSPORTATION AT GCW:
Being a largest campus in the region, KSRTC uses a fleet of buses for
transportation of the students & staff from the around locations such as
Mulabagal, Srinivaspura, Malur, Bangarpet, KGF, Chintamani. The
college is dedicated to provide its students and staff all the comfort and
convenience to help them to achieve their targets. There are the clear and
certifiable environmental benefits to higher bus ridership. By utilizing
bus transportation, we reduce our automobile use and thereby help to
promote clean air. It can convey many more people in much less space
than individual automobiles, which helps to keep traffic congestion
lower, which in turn reduces air pollution from idling vehicles, and helps
riders avoid the stress that comes from daily driving in highly congested
areas. By moving people more efficiently, bus transit produces
significantly less air pollution per passenger mile than a standard car
carrying a single driver. Buses emit approximate 20% less carbon
monoxide, 10% as much hydrocarbons, and 75% as much nitrogen
oxides per passenger mile as an automobile with a single occupant

Introduction to Energy Audit General:
The Government College for Women , Kolar, Karnataka entrusted the work of
conducting a detailed Energy Audit of campus with the main objectives are as belows:
To study the present pattern of energyconsumption
To identify potential areas for energyoptimization
To recommend energy conservation proposals with cost benefitanalysis.
Scope of Work, Methodology andApproach: Scope of work and methodology were as per the proposal .While undertaking data
collection, field trials and their analysis, due care was always taken to avoid abnormal
situations so as to generate normal/representative pattern of energy consumption at the
facility.
Approach to EnergyAudit:
We focused our attention on energy management and optimization of energy
efficiency of the systems, sub systems and equipments. The key to such performance
evaluation lies in the sound knowledge of performance of equipments and system as a
whole.
EnergyAudit:
The objective of Energy Audit is to balance the total energy inputs with its use and
to identify the energy conservation opportunities in the stream. Energy Audit also gives
focused attention to energy cost and cost involved in achieving higher performance with
technical and financial analysis. The best alternative is selected on financial analysis basis.
Energy Audit Methodology: Energy Audit Study is divided into following steps
1. Historical DataAnalysis:
The historical data analysis involves establishment of energy consumption
pattern to the established base line data on energy consumption and its variation with
change in production volumes.
2. Actual measurement and dataanalysis:
This step involves actual site measurement and field trials using various
portable measurement instruments. It also involves input to output analysis to establish
actual operating equipment efficiency and finding out losses in the system.
3. Identification and evaluation of Energy ConservationOpportunities:
This step involves evaluation of energy conservation opportunities identified
during the energy audit. It gives potential of energy saving and investment required to
implement the proposed modifications with paybackperiod.

After using LED bulbs and lamps our college saved Rs 2391/ (Rupees two thousand three hundred and
ninety one only) per month.
Current saving methods adopted in the college
*Turn off electrical equipment when not in use
*Use energy efficient light-emitting diode (LED) bulbs instead of
incandescent and CFL bulbs
*Maintain appliances and replace old appliances.
*Use computers and electronic equipment in power saving mode.
The total energy utilization of the college for different purposes is approximately 3683.7
units/month. Energy saving through the replacement of incandescent bulbs, CFL lamps and tube lights to
LED light could be a good option. Energy efficient electrical equipment especially fans and pump sets can
be replaced against old ones.
Remarks:
It has been observed that in old and new building, majority of electrical power consumption is
through light load such as fan, FTL and power load such as refrigerator, ups, etc. Unnecessary use of
electrical equipment must beavoided.
As per individual dept. level load consumption, we understand the scope for improvement of
energy saving. Hence our electricity bill will be reduced by proper load management techniques
along with optimum utilization ofresources.
Lighting System
Observations and suggestions:
It is found that LED Tubes/bulbs as per the above data is installed in thefacility.
It is recommended that some tube lights in this area be switched off when
sufficient daylight is available.
Reflectors can be installed for tubelights for better brightness.

Merits/Existing Features for Energy Savings.
1. Staffvigilance.
2. Computers are connected inLAN.
3. Printers are shared inLAN.
4. Incandescent Bulbs are nowhereused.
5. They are replaced by LED Tubes/bulbs with electronicchoke.
6. Maximum use of natural light.
7. Cross Ventilation is provided in laboratory & class
rooms, which reduced number offans.
GeneralRecommendations
All Class Rooms and labs to have Display Messages regarding optimum use of electrical
appliances in the room like, lights, fans, computers and projectors. Save electricity.
Display the stickers of “SAVE ENERGY SAVE RESOURCE”at strategic places in the
campus, So that all stakeholders are encouraged to save electricity.
Most of the time, all the LED tubes in class rooms are kept ON, even though, there is
sufficient light level near the window opening. In such cases, the light row near the
window may be keptOFF.
All projectors to be kept OFF or in idle mode if there are no presentations.
All computers should have power saving settings to turn off monitors and hard discs
after10 minutes/30minutes.
Lights in toilet/wash room area may be kept OFF duringdaytime
Need to use power saver circuits forAC.
Executive Recommendations:
1. There has to be Institute level student community that keeps track of the energy
consumption Parameters of the various departments, class rooms, halls, areas, meters,etc
2. Energy auditing inside the campus has to be done on regular basis and report
should be made public to generateawareness.
3. Need to Create energy efficiency/ renewable energy awareness among the collegecampus
i.e. solar, wind, Biogas energy. College should take initiative to arrange seminars, lectures,
paper presentation competition among students and staff for general awareness.
