The development of an effective energy management framework for energy efficient buildings

Energy management in government office buildings is to ensure continuous energy efficiency over a long period of time by applying the methods that suit the needs and the budget. Effective energy management is not only to achieve and maintain optimum energy consumption and to minimize energy costs, b...
