Air-conditioning energy consumption of an education building and it's building energy index: A case study in engineering complex, UiTM Shah Alam, Selangor

Energy efficiency index as an indicator for measuring building energy performance: A review

“…Abu Bakar et al [65] utilized the EEI model to compare energy consumption performance between buildings using more detailed parameters with emphasis on the air-conditioning area as the normalizing factor [68]. Moghimi et al [21] also carried out a case study on EEI of commercial buildings based on the occupied air conditioning area.…”

“…These data can also provide the required information to set and track energy consumption goals, generate reports and key performance indicators (KPI) [38]. There have been some published works in the literature [67,68] on baseline EEI values.…”

“…Buildings are used for different purposes, such as residential houses or commercial buildings, which are reflected by the different number of occupants [68] and other differences, including the building envelope characteristics, energy consuming equipment or installations and operation hours. Other factors to be considered are geographical location and environment.…”

Approach to Environmental Sustainability and Green Campus at Universiti Teknologi Malaysia: A Review

“…Energy consumption in Malaysia largely hinges on Electricity supply and UTM is not an exception to this national phenomenon- [1] The case study area (UTM -Johor campus), approximately houses 575 buildings which include, faculties buildings, student's hostels, library, banks, post office, mosque, departmental buildings with elevators, laboratories for science and engineers, Hospital and Computer Unit. All the listed facilities largely depend on electricity for its effective and efficient running.…”

“…The major sources of GHGs on campuses are electricity usage, vehicular movement, and waste disposal. [1] Therefore, the issue of carbon dioxide has become a global threat and as such, the world is at work to remedy this excruciating ill with a trickling down effect to universities and schools worldwide in the study of climate change. [8] With sound knowledge and in-depth research outputs the pros and cons of climate change, will present a definite means of curtailing carbon dioxide emissions.…”
