DISCUSSION
CONCLUSION
INTRODUCTION The n e e d for efficient energy
c o n s u m p t i o n i n b u i l d i n g sector is
increasing every year . ( Ramli K. N . e t al ,
Mor
2014e) t h a n 5 0 % of t h e energy c o n s u m p t i o n
i n b u i l d i n g is air c o n d i t i o n i n g . ( Hassan J.
S. e t al , 2014 )
Major factor t h a t i n f l u e n c i n g t h e energy
c o n s u m p t i o n of air c o n d i t i o n e r is t h e
h u m a n behavior i n m o n i t o r i n g t h e usage
w h e n n o t i n use .
Energy c o n s u m p t i o n s by residential

usage is considered . ( Hassan J. S. e t al , 2014 )
The p r o j e c t a i m e d at i n v e n t i n g a system

occupants .
