Abstract

In this modern era, an enormous amount of energy is being devoured in Malaysia every single day. One of many reasons of the massive amount of energy consumed is due to the vast developing cities with growing number of building constructions. Most of the construction of buildings in Malaysia does not obey the green building strategies which in a long term, will contribute to pollution and hence the global warming. The main purpose of this report is to expose an overview of an installation of electrical equipment based on the Green Building Index (GBI) for a restaurant construction. Other than that, one of the main points is to compare the conventional and GBI building construction in terms of cost and efficiency. The cost of construction covers two major parts, they are the capital and savings. On the other hand, the efficiency of a building covers on the carbon dioxide emission, building energy index (BEI), and energy efficiency index (EEI). This report includes the development and design of a new green building construction (restaurant) by focusing on the green building strategies in term of energy efficiency. The design is lodged mainly to better the development of green building in order to improve the lifestyle of modern living. This project analyses the lighting system and the total electrical load by using DIALux software. Other than that, the HVAC system, SSO design, and even protective devices and cable selection will be done in this project in order to apply maximum effort towards the GBI standards. In brief, this is a project that further explains the basic study of indoor lighting performance in a restaurant.
