Abstract—Pakistan today is facing a serious energy crisis due
to the alarming depletion of energy resources and increasing
demand of the industry, which has badly affected our industrial
sector in general. No doubt, this situation has emerged globally,
but this is also a fact that these energy crises in our industrial
sector are due to orthodox processes, conventional
infrastructures/buildings, inefficient HVAC systems,
inadequate use of electrical and mechanical equipment, non
compliance to standard inspection techniques which has
resulted higher energy losses. This study reveal to the
management of the factors, (i.e. housekeeping, control of
operations and infrastructure), affecting the performance of AC
plants of the spinning subsector of textile industry. Energy
audits were conducted to collect data. The data was analyzed
and it was concluded that along with the technological
interventions we need to introduce green infrastructure in AC
plants of spinning mills.
Index Terms—Energy efficiency, energy consumption, textile
industry.
