Building Energy Saving

Lately Malaysia energy consumption versus generation rapidly shows increasing due to increasing of load. This phenomenon happened following to advanced country development. Lacking on design and without energy management approach the energy consumption and monthly electrical bill will steadily increased and support the increasing of world carbon emission. Therefore the aim of this work is to approach the simplest innovation task-energy audit , which is load-apportioning strategy. This approach using matching the usage of equipment with fully utilized space and reschedules the time of usage. A one week data was collected by logged power meter at main switchboard at selected building using Fluke Power Recorder. From the data collected, current usage of every load can be determine, then load will be arrange into a group with same portion and same time of usage. The result shows clearly the energy consumption for every single day and indicates the highest and lowest peak. From this work the apportioning strategy implemented by rearrange the load following type of room application. After the arrangement, new measurement was taken and a very good result was established. This work also can be further apply for a huge load that can be save a lot of money for owner especially government by energy saving.

Abstract The article presents aspects related to the calculation of heat loss through the pipes of the interior central heating system. The purpose of the article is to detail the local heat losses in case of central heating systems. Based on the conclusions of the article, we propose the modification of the calculation methodology related to the building energy audit.

Energy analysis is important to analyze energy consumption pattern, monitoring on how the energy used varies with time in the building and how the system element interrelate. In this case study, a preliminary energy audit is done on lighting and air-conditioning system. The lighting and airconditioning system consume the highest amount from the total building energy usage. The study was conducted in the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering Building, Universiti Teknikal Malaysia (UTeM) Technology Campus. From the result shows  that the air-conditioning system has contributed approximately 48.8% from the total monthly energy usage. The estimation of Building Energy Index (BEI) for the cooling load is 655.19 kWh/m²/year. Meanwhile, the BEI for lighting system is found approximately 150 kWh/m2/year.

Energy consumption of a building is one of the biggest sources of energy use today. Green Building Comitte Indonesia (GBCI) has launched a concept of energy consumption saving in a nationally standard building. Audit Building energy audit is the way to know how actual building energy consumption is and find alternative solution to decrease energy consumption in order to fulfill the energy saving building criteria. Two types of HVAC systems will be run in the EnergyPlus simulation, split AC and central AC. The previous research proved that central AC is better than split AC system for energy saving in the building with 20 floors. The simulation results show that by using a certain energy system, a more efficient energy system will be achieved and can still maintain the comfort of the room at a temperature of 24 °C and relative humidity according to the Green Building Indonesia standard reference.

This paper studies an interdisciplinary approach for improving smart energy systems, and, in particular, building energy efficiency. Currently, energy audit is the most widely used approach to improve building energy efficiency. Energy audit increases the building energy efficiency by identifying, analyzing and implementing energy saving opportunities in existing buildings. The procedure of existing energy audit approach is relatively standardized, and energy audit professionals usually refer to Energy Conservation Measures (ECMs) checklists to determine opportunities for energy savings. In this context, this paper aims to improve the general energy audit process by integrating, adapting, and extending Design Innovation (DI) techniques which help to identify more energy saving opportunities beyond the existing energy audit checklists and deliver user-centered and disruptive innovative energy-saving solutions which are missing in the traditional energy audit procedure. The motivation, advantages, and the implementation procedure of selected DI approaches are explained separately. To demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed mechanism, an example of developing a smart energy system for a building testbed is given.
