Abstract

Commercial buildings consume more energy and waste more natural resources, which leads to more carbon dioxide production and environmental pollution. This research will focus on the potential of building to reduce its electricity consumption and reducing the electricity bills without negatively affecting the outputs. The energy management system is implemented by minimization of energy loss and maximization of energy efficiency. Other than that, there are some action by applying energy saving measures may result in cost saving. This study estimated the energy saving potentially achieved by replacing the Compact Fluorescent (CFL) bulbs to Light Emitting Diode (LED) bulbs and installing Automatic Light system in the MBMB building. The detailed energy audit will involve in analysing the performance and parameters of the building and identify the area that has potential to reduce the energy consumption. It estimated that 30384 kWh of annual energy consumption can be saved through the application of the energy saving measures.
