Design and Evaluation of Electrical Services for an Energy Efficient Home

Impact of Facilities Engineers on Building and Sustaining Effective Maintenance Culture in Nigeria

“…Engineers integrate eco-friendly design principles, renewable energy sources, and green technologies to reduce carbon emissions and preserve biodiversity (Adelakun & Olanipekun, 2019;. Sustainable infrastructure projects prioritise energy efficiency, waste reduction, and pollution prevention, promoting a healthier environment for current and future generations (Adelakun, 2024;Okoye & Adelakun, 2019). By embracing sustainability, engineers contribute to global efforts to combat climate change, protect ecosystems, and ensure the long-term health of the planet.…”

Transforming Facility Engineering Practices in Nigeria: Insights from Abuja Metropolis

“…Facility management encompasses the integrated approach to operating, maintaining, improving, and adapting an organisation's buildings and infrastructure to align with its primary objectives (Matarneh et al, 2019;Pärn et al, 2017). This discipline, also known as the structuring of building plants and contents to enhance the creation of end products and as the planning design, procurement, and maintenance of all property assets to achieve optimal environmental quality and efficiency (Ismail et al, 2022;Lok et al, 2018;Okoye & Adelakun, 2019), operates at three main levels: strategic, tactical, and operational. The significance of facility management has grown exponentially in recent years as organisations recognise its pivotal role in space management and resource conservation (Adelakun, 2024;Olanipekun et al, 2020).…”

Relevance of Electrical Services Engineers in Construction and Building Services

“…Electrical services include lighting, power, automated control, heating, load distribution systems, operation of machines, etc [6], it serves as a guide to electrical contractors/electricians or other workers who will use it to achieve energy efficiency management and for easy maintenance services when the need arises. However, energy efficiency is a concept that involves the utilisation of energy-efficient loads in the most economical way for efficient service delivery [7,8], for effective energy efficiency management, the electrical service engineers must analyses the power requirements of the equipments/appliances in the building before specifying the suitable electrical installation method to be adopted [9]. Consequently, the adoption and enforcement of standard energy codes will reduce energy consumption and mitigate the impacts of climate change [10,11], and money saved on energy bills by consumers and businesses can help the economy grow [12].…”
