Energy Audit Case Study: SSVM School Saves ₹1.4 Crore Every Year
SSVM School, Mettupalayam reduced electricity and diesel costs by roughly ₹1.4 crore annually, with the full investment paid back in about six months, following a comprehensive energy audit and optimisation programme by B&B Green Energy Solutions.

The Biggest Savings Often Begin with an Energy Audit
Most solar companies begin with generation. B&B begins by understanding where a building's energy is actually going.
An energy audit works like a health check for electricity and fuel use. Engineers measure consumption, identify peak demand, trace inefficient equipment and convert hidden waste into a prioritised action plan tied to measurable financial outcomes.
- Measure electricity and fuel consumption across the facility
- Identify inefficient equipment and operating routines
- Reduce demand before adding new energy generation
- Build a customised plan with clear payback potential
SSVM School, Mettupalayam
The Challenge Before B&B Arrived
The campus was facing high electricity costs, heavy diesel consumption, an underperforming solar plant and inefficient electric water heating.
⛽
₹7.5 Lakh Monthly Diesel Cost
A diesel generator was being used to bridge the load gap at roughly ₹25,000 per day.
☀
Solar Output at Only 50%
The existing 100 kW solar system installed in 2020 had been left without adequate service or maintenance.
↗
Demand Above Sanctioned Load
The campus had a sanctioned load of 112 kW, while actual working demand exceeded 150 kW.
♨
25 kW Heating-Coil Load
Solar water heaters serving the hostel were connected to electric heating coils consuming around 25 units per hour.
₹
Penalties and Avoidable Spend
Grid penalties and inefficient equipment added significant daily operating costs.
What B&B implemented
Three Engineering Interventions That Changed the Outcome
01
Restored the Existing 100 kW Plant
B&B rectified the neglected solar system and restored its generation performance.
02
Installed a New 150 kW On-Grid Plant
The additional solar capacity helped close the load gap and eliminate dependence on the diesel generator.
03
Replaced Coils with 20 Heat Pumps
Twenty 23 kW heat pumps reduced hot-water energy consumption from about 25 units per hour to only 5.

Why the project matters
A Repeatable Model for Schools, Hospitals, Hotels and Industry
Wasted energy rarely announces itself. It accumulates through ageing equipment, poor maintenance, inefficient routines and systems operating outside their optimum range.
A rigorous audit makes those losses visible and fixable. Pairing efficiency improvements with solar or hybrid generation then compounds the benefit: first reduce demand, then produce the remaining requirement cleanly.
- Schools and educational campuses
- Hospitals and healthcare facilities
- Hotels, resorts and commercial buildings
- Factories, warehouses and offices
