Abstract

Nowadays, the extensive fossil fuel exploitation has led to some unwanted atmospheric and environmental pollution to fulfill almost all human activities for energy consumption. Moreover, the recent fluctuations on the price of petroleum have affected worldwide economics which has forced an increased in the price of all goods. Piezoelectric is a mechanism to transfer ambient vibrations into electrical energy when subjected to mechanical stress. The objectives of this study are; (1) to examine the factors that will foster piezoelectric tiles adoption as an alternative energy sources for KLIA 1, Sepang, (2) to assess the strategies for KLIA 1, Sepang in adopting piezoelectric tiles in the airport, and (3) to propose innovative suggestions to improve or enhance piezoelectric tiles adoption in KLIA 1, Sepang, after some innovative suggestions will be made to overcome the negative factors for the ease of this technology adoption. Although KLIA 1, Sepang already fostering solar energy as alternative energy source, by adopting the piezoelectric tiles there is a variation of an alternative energy sources mix in KLIA 1, Sepang in order to enhance energy efficiency. In this study, the researcher will conduct the case study in qualitative research method, which included the semi-structured questionnaires technique to investigate the factors and strategies for the adoption of piezoelectric tiles as an alternative energy source at KLIA 1, Sepang. As a conclusion, by adopting piezoelectric tiles at KLIA 1, Sepang might raise economic growth in high technology industry to positioning Malaysia as one of the advanced country in Asean region.
