Estimating potential saving with energy consumption behaviour model in higher education institutions

Towards sustainable Higher Education Institutions (HEIs), energy consumption behaviour is one of several issues that require an attention by facilities manager. Information from the behavioural aspect would be useful for facilities manager on managing the energy and determining potential energy savi...
