| Summary: | Sustainable Development (SD) is a simple way
of ensuring a better quality of life for everyone, now and for
generation to come. It refers to a perspective that considers
all three aspects which are social, economic and the
environment. Designing an electrical system with
sustainability refers to an approach that considers the use of
renewable energy, energy efficiency, conservation and
minimising usage of natural resources. SD implementations
can be grouped into four main areas, namely supplementing
consumption with renewable energy, use of high energy
efficiency equipments, by design and also instilling SD
awareness among employees. Asiaflex Products is taken as
the case study for this project. This paper highlights the
electrical system designs based on SD concept, equipments
used and the comparisons between SD model and the
conventional model. Comparisons are also done based on
the energy consumptions, energy savings, costs and its
return of investment. |
