Regional director of PHD Chamber of Commerce and Industry Dilip Sharma said that conservation
of energy is a need of hour and we need to save energy for our next generation.
Talking about the hotel industry of Himachal, he said that hotels consume large
portion of the energy in Himachal and 20 per cent expenses of the hotels are by
unnecessarily use of water heaters, boilers, air conditioning systems,
refrigeration, heaters, pumps and motors. “Use of solar energy is the best
alternative that can bring down the expenses and also save the limited sources
of energy,” he said.
Petroleum Conservation Research Association (PCRA) deputy director SN Singh said that our
country is spending billions of dollars on importing petroleum products from
abroad which is severely impacting our economy. “Motive of this seminar is to
spread a message that people should use energy but the most important thing is
that how and when we should use energy to stop its unnecessary use.”
