| description | Along with the green movement in Malaysia, this paper seeks (1) to
investigate the performance trends of employed solar photovoltaic
system in housing development under tropical climate, (2) to
determine the lifecycle savings and payback period of this technology.
The research focuses on Mesra Terrace Development which is a Low
density housing in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia as a case study. The
research employed a quantitative method for the data collection. The
empirical assessment of the after occupancy performance is based on
the analysis of energy power as well as savings in both designed and
operational phases. The findings indicate that actual energy savings
and lifecycle savings have exceeded the estimated values during
design phase. Bedsides, the lifecycle saving of the solar photovoltaic
system in homes depends so far on the governmental green programs
along with the local green industry and market. |
