The energy consumption in the Covenant University campus community has been investigated. A tour round the structure was undertaken to ascertain the consumption culture and to identify lapses on energy usage. An energy consumption pattern roadmap is necessary in accounting on how energy is used up and decision on utilizing redundant energy. This is the focus of the research work to provide an insight to the rate of energy utility. The electrical energy demands are going to get increased in future. Measures are to be taken to minimize use of electricity everywhere so as to reduce undesirable financial load. It is advisable to carry out energy assessment in the campus from time to time, to achieve more effective and proficient use of energy.
