In recent years, with the development of mechanical automation,automation system had been developed quickly, and it covers different fields in different areas. As for automation learning system, it had been developed by some researchers and learners for its fast speed and energy-saving properties. At the same time, automation learning system is also useful for trainers to develop and improve. Therefore, the author had made some investigations and tried to dig out its advantages and disadvantages, which are useful for its further development in the future application. During the study, the author also found that some electronic materials had been useful to stimulate the uses of automation learning system.From the study, the author hopes that the study will help to improve learning efficiency and saving energy.

Lamps are electronic devices that produce light turned out to be one of the components in spending considerable electrical costs. The bigger the room, the space will require a lot of lighting to achieve the value of a lighting level according to the Indonesian National Standard (SNI) in the room. The more lamps that are used, the more wasteful the energy is used. Wasteful of energy, so the expenditure for operational costs will be even greater. The role of technology can be used alongside a culture of energy saving. One of them is a light automation system. Automation systems can be realized without programming. based on a survey the place that requires this automation system is a school classroom. Automation systems can be directly coupled with light systems and manual light switches in classrooms, replacing conventional light-on and off-turn systems in classrooms. Its easy installation provides an example for installing an automation system for schools that have a large number of classrooms. The automation sensor used is a type of sensor that has a way of detecting the movement of people in the room. The sensor that can be used the easiest is the Passive Infra Red (PIR) sensor. This sensor itself is the sensor that is most easily available and quite cheap. In realizing the use of this sensor, more than 1 PIR sensor point is required. Sensors that are used more than 1 point will make grouping part of the lighting system in the classroom. If the classroom is not fully used up to the back of the classroom, then it is enough only to turn it on from the front lights to the middle of the classroom. This supports energy saving efforts. Through this automation, it is hoped that there will be a change in the culture of energy saving side by side with technological developments in terms of its use for energy saving. Keywords: LED; motion sensor; classroom; without programming; automation system AbstrakLampu merupakan alat elektronika yang menghasilkan cahaya ternyata salah satu komponen dalam pengeluaran biaya listrik yang cukup besar. Semakin besar ruangan, maka ruang tersebut akan membutuhkan banyak lampu penerangan untuk mencapai nilai suatu tingkat pencahayaan yang sesuai Standard Nasional Indonesia (SNI) pada ruangan tersebut. Semakin banyak lampu yang digunakan tentu semakin boros energi yang digunakan. Boros energi maka pengeluaran untuk biaya operasional akan semakin besar. Peran teknologi dapat digunakan berdampingan dengan budaya hemat energi. Salah satu nya dengan sistem otomatisasi lampu. Sistem otomatisasi dapat direalisasikan tanpa pemrograman. berdasarkan survei tempat yang membutuhkan sistem otomatisasi ini adalah ruangan kelas sekolah. Sistem otomatisasi dapat langsung dipasangkan dengan sistem lampu dan saklar lampu manual di ruang kelas menggantikan sistem mati nyala lampu secara konvensional di ruang kelas. Pemasangannya yang mudah menjadikan contoh bagi pemasangan sistem otomatisasi bagi sekolah yang memiliki ruang kelas yang cukup banyak. Sensor otomatisasi yang digunakan merupakan jenis sensor yang memiliki cara kerja untuk mendeteksi pergerakan orang di dalam ruangan. Sensor yang dapat digunakan paling mudah yaitu sensor Passive Infra Red (PIR). Sensor PIR merupakan sensor yang paling mudah didapatkan dan cukup murah. Dalam realisasi penggunaan sensor ini diperlukan lebih dari 1 titik sensor PIR. Sensor yang digunakan lebih dari 1 titik akan membuat pengelompokkan bagian dari sistem pencahayaan di ruang kelas tersebut. Jika ruang kelas tidak digunakan sepenuhnya hingga bagian belakang kelas, maka cukup hanya dinyalakan dari lampu bagian depan hingga ruang tengah kelas. Hal ini mendukung upaya hemat energi. Melalui otomatisasi ini diharapkan ada perubahan budaya hemat energi yang berdampingan dengan perkembangan teknologi dalam hal pemanfaatannya untuk hemat energi.

Energy is an important element in human daily life. In Malaysia, about 80% of electrical energy produced from burning fuels that will cause of carbon dioxide emission to atmosphere. The effect could be reduced with less energy consumption. This project focuses on energy management strategies for energy saving that can be done on the HVAC system, air-cond, lighting and office equipment in Emergency Department, Block C Hospital Sungai Buloh. The annual profit, total cost and payment period for each research method are also studied. To implement for all major system must be link to chapter by Buiding Automation System. Major studies for this topic is to implement energy saving, calculate energy comsumption, power, area specific room, return of investment, analysis for daily cost for used, total for kWh for monthly usage.

To improve the existing problems of traditional construction equipment through electrical automation system, such as low water pressure on high floor, irrational lighting system and energy consumption of air conditioning system. Methods: The energy saving control of electrical automation system of construction equipment was studied in detail from four aspects: heat pump, variable air volume, enthalpy and lighting system. Results: The heat pump, variable air volume, enthalpy, lighting system energy saving control optimization, on the one hand to provide people comfortable and suitable for the surrounding environment, on the other hand to enhance the efficiency of building equipment control and resource utilization. Conclusion: The introduction of new technology in construction equipment is in line with China’s sustainable development concept. Energy saving and environmental protection is the future development direction of the construction market and needs further exploration in the future.

Summary: Different shapes of individual subjective discount functions were compared using real measures of willingness to accept future monetary outcomes in an experiment. The two-parameter hyperbolic discount function described the data better than three alternative one-parameter discount functions. However, the hyperbolic discount functions did not explain the common difference effect better than the classical discount function. Discount functions were also estimated from survey data of Dutch households who reported their willingness to postpone positive and negative amounts. Future positive amounts were discounted more than future negative amounts and smaller amounts were discounted more than larger amounts. Furthermore, younger people discounted more than older people. Finally, discount functions were used in explaining consumers' willingness to pay for an energy-saving durable good. In this case, the two-parameter discount model could not be estimated and the one-parameter models did not differ significantly in explaining the data.
