| description | The energy sector accounts for 80% of Malaysia's greenhouse gas emissions. The education sector is one of the contributors to greenhouse gas emissions. Therefore, the education sector strongly supports the government's aspirations to reduce carbon emissions. This research investigates the energy-saving potential involving five end-load in educational institutions. Typically, energy audits are conducted on end-load equipment such as fans, lights, air conditioning, and ICT equipment. However, laboratory equipment is primarily not audited. This research added laboratory equipment as one of the five end-loads to be audited. Methodology for collecting energy consumption per equipment in a residential building using a survey questionnaire. The energy audit method collects energy consumption data of academic and non-academic buildings. The saving potential is obtained through energy efficiency and feasibility analysis of the rooftop solar photovoltaics (PV) using the net energy metering (NEM) scheme. Research confirms that laboratory equipment, lighting, and air conditioning are the highest consumers of energy consumption in educational institutions. The feasibility analysis focused on energy, cost-benefit and environmental impact analysis for Politeknik Sultan Azlan Shah (PSAS). The findings of this study, through a feasibility analysis on a covered parking lot installed with solar PV. An analysis of the feasibility of energy generation at the proposed site using NEM found that the cumulative net savings estimate for PSAS over 20 years is RM 3,534,250. The percentage of energy supplied by solar, which is 21.5%, leads to a reduction in emissions of 669,078 kg of CO2, equivalent to 16,727 mature trees saved from being cut down. This research supports the practice of green technology in educational institutions, especially in Polytechnic Malaysia.
