Description
Summary:The increase of energy demand is a concern for energy generation, many country have started marching toward of using or retrofit green technology to reduce the energy wastage, carbon footprint emission and the high costing on utility bills. In order to find out the energy consumption of the Faculty of Engineering and Green Technology (FEGT) in University Tunku Abdul Rahman (UTAR) and found a way to conserve wastage energy usage the best method is energy audit throughout FEGT building. In this paper energy audit will be carried out to collect or measure the types of electrical appliances, number of lightings, test equipment’s and work load of the HVAC. Beside the numbers and condition of the electrical appliances that cause the energy consumption and energy efficiency usage, awareness of human’s behaviour, occupancy of each room are also factors that cause the unwanted energy waste. The collected data and survey on energy audit will be further analyses to calculate and come up with solution to reduce the unwanted energy consumption. Methods of retrofit project and payback period may calculate accordingly to provide immediate and relatively predictable positive cash flow.
