Abstract

The main objective of this project is to identify area where energy is being used efficiently or being wasted in the current air-conditioning and ventilation system. The project is also aim to analyze the thermal comfort level based on the Air Conditioning and Mechanical Ventilation (ACMV) system in the building. The case study area for this project is FTK’s building. The building can be divided into three sections: Lobby 1, Lobby 2 and Classrooms. The measurement of thermal comfort around FTK building is taken using Thermal Microclimate in two conditions: with the presence of occupants and without the presence of occupants. The physical measurement parameters include air temperature, radiant temperature, air speed/velocity and relative humidity. The analysis consists of building cooling loads, energy saving estimates and costing for the building. Improvement methods in ACMV system is later being proposed to reduce energy consumption. Based on the result, the thermal comfort level of the building is warm. The average energy consumption of the building is 692 485.20 kW/year.
