Building energy performance a case study at G2 Building UTHM

Improper energy consumption has become a concern among the building owners. To ensure proper energy consumption of the building, it has become a practice to conduct building energy performance study. The study allows the building owner to confirm possible ineffective energy utilization of the buildi...
