| Summary: | Library buildings consume a large quantity of energy for user services and ensuring the
comfort in the building which these have produced a considerable waste on the energy usage.
Lighting system is one of the largest contributors in the energy consumption and operational
cost of a library building. The implementation of energy efficiency of lighting system is
needed in order to reduce the energy consumption of lighting system. Therefore, the purpose
of this paper is to study energy efficiency of lighting system in the university library building.
The library building at the International Islamic University Malaysia (IIUM) is chosen as the
subject matter of the study. A semi-structured interview was carried out to interview four
respondents who currently in-charge in the IIUM library building operation. The results
revealed the majority of the respondents agreed that the IIUM Library building did not
implement the energy efficient criteria in fixing the lighting system which lead to high energy
consumption. A proper guideline to improve the energy efficiency of lighting system in IIUM
library was identified as the top priority strategy which proposed by the majority of the
respondents in the study. |
