What’s wrong with
our Mother Earth ?
Why ? Why ? Why ?

Why the number of disasters

increases every years?

Why the world weather becomes so

extreme?

Why our earth is getting hotter?

OUR Living Style Has Problem!
We consume too much!!!

We waste too much of water

We use too much of energy

Buildings consume 40% of energy
worldwide
Objectives of this workshop:
1. To increase awareness of energy
conservation among staff
2. To introduce the concept of Energy
Management System and its
implementation
3. To acquire energy auditing skill

What is the different between Energy Saving
and Energy Efficiency?

VS
Activity 1

Propose the ways to save electricity

and water for UTAR campus

Efficient Management of Electrical Energy
Regulation 2008 ( EMEER 2008)

Any installation with a total

electricity consumption
equal to or exceeding
3,000,000 kWh over any
period of 6 consecutive
months.
 We Need a Team! Ensure the
Energy Management implementation of
measures of the
Committee energy management

What is an Energy Audit?

 A preliminary activity towards instituting

energy efficiency programs.

 To seek for conservation opportunities.

 To determine ways to reduce energy

consumption

17
Why Energy Audit?

 To develop database

 To determine if energy is being used

efficiently

 Identify opportunities for saving energy

 Highlight potential improvements to

existing systems

 Energy Audit

Preliminary Detailed Investment

Audit Audit Audit
Preliminary Audit

 Historical energy consumption (electricity bills)

 Basic data on floor areas, facilities, etc
 Derive Energy Performance Indicators
Building Energy Index (BEI), kWh/m2/year
HVAC efficiency, kW/ton
Expected outcomes of Preliminary Audit
Average monthly bill = RM 248 k
Average monthly energy = 545,483 kWh
Average monthly MD = 1,652 kW

BEI = 227 kWh/m2/year

Detailed Audit

 Data logging for significant energy users

(SEU), minimum 7 days duration
 Review of systems or facilities designs and
installations
 Identify areas of weakness and
opportunities
 Propose energy saving measures:
No-cost, low-cost and high-cost
 Compute simple payback period and ROI
 Potential Saving Measures
High-Cost
No-Cost Low-Cost • Building envelope
• Adjustment of air- • Replace with energy retrofit
con temperature efficient fluorescent • Lighting retrofit
• Keep doors and • Maximizing daylight (LED)
windows closed
• Chiller optimization • Chiller replacement
• Switch of
• Sensors for lighting
unnecessary lights
• Timer for air-con
Investment Audit

 Provide detailed analysis of energy usage

 Identify the savings that can be made and the cost
of investment
 Involves long term detailed metering and data
logging
 Detailed financial estimation
 Internal rate of return (15 %)
 Net Present Value (NPV)
 Stages of Energy Audit

Conduct plant
Collect building Analyze and Follow up
visit and
information report results
measurements
 Required Measurements

 Air-con temperature settings and room temperature

 Lighting intensity
 Humidity
 Energy consumption
 Chill water temperature
 Compressed air pressure (check air leakage)
Activity 2

Walk-through the following locations and

identify the potential saving measures:
Main entrance, lecture halls, tutorial
rooms, and library.

You may check the air-con temperature

setting and measure room temperature.
2 Standards for Energy Efficiency

MS ISO 50001:2011 – Energy Management

System

MS 1525 – Code of Practice for Energy Efficiency

and Renewable Energy in Non-residential
Buildings
What is Energy Management?

A management process to
proactively assess,
manage, and measure
energy usage to assure
that energy has been used
efficiently
Why we need Energy Management?

Increase profit (pay less energy bills)

Increase competitiveness
Improve working environment quality
Improve corporate image

Reduce operational costs

Reduce pollution (CO2)
 Goals of Energy Management?

Benchmark energy usage – BEI

Implement systems and strategies to improve energy efficiency
Achieve energy and cost savings
Regularly assess energy performance
Continuously seek opportunities to improve
