| description | Sustainable energy usage has been recognized as one of the important
measure to increase the competitiveness of the nation globally. Many strong
emphases were given in the Ninth Malaysia Plan (RMK9) to improve energy
efficient especially to government buildings. With this in view, a project to
investigate the potential of energy saving in selected building in Universiti Tun
Hussein Onn Malaysia (UTHM) was carried out. In this project, a case study
involving electric energy consumption of the academic staff office building was
conducted. The scope of the study include to identify energy consumption in a
selected building, to study energy saving opportunities, to analyse cost
investment in term of economic and to identify users attitude with respect to
energy usage. The MS1525:2001, Malaysian Standard -Code of practice on
energy efficiency and use of renewable energy for non-residential buildings was
used as reference. Several energy efficient measures were considered and their
merits and priority were compared. Improving human behavior can reduce
energy consumption by 6% while technical measure can reduce energy
consumption by 44%. Two economic analysis evaluation methods were applied;
they are the payback period method and net present value method. |
