“…Based on the preliminary energy audit in University A, retrofitting lighting by replacing the current lighting with light-emitting diode (LED) lighting saves 9.4% of the total energy consumption and cost. Previous research has established that retrofitting lighting to LED-type lighting reduces the total energy consumption of a university building [10,11,22,26]. In comparison, Figure 7 presents the energy saving percentage by replacing the existing lighting in university buildings with LED based on recently published articles [17,20,24,26,27,77].…”

In comparison, Figure 7 presents the energy saving percentage by replacing the existing lighting in university buildings with LED based on recently published articles [17,20,24,26,27,77]. Another study conducted in a university building in Malaysia also shows similar trends, in which they save up to 36-50% in energy consumption by installing LED lighting compared with the conventional type of lighting [78,79].…”

Energy performance contracting (EPC) is the best solution for an educational building to implement energy conservation measures (ECMs) because of its high capital expenditure and operational expenditure needed for retrofit and maintenance. It is also considered a win–win mechanism for organising building energy efficiency retrofit projects. It aims to assist educational buildings in acquiring new high-efficiency equipment and maximising energy use reduction, as guaranteed by energy service company (ESCO). This study developed an EPC model using regression analysis, in which the inputs are based on the data collected during the preliminary energy audit in University A. As a result, with a quantum sharing ratio of 0.95/0.5 for ESCO/University A, the forecasted energy savings from the proposed ECMs, chiller optimisation and replacement, lighting retrofit, and energy management system are estimated to save 25.6% energy use, which reduces 5,672,057 kilowatt-hour (kWh) in electricity consumption; saves RM 2,762,291.76/year; carbon dioxide (CO2) mitigation equal to 3,771,061.22 kgCO2/year; return of investment of 4.2 years with a 5% interest rate; and building energy intensity of 93.55 kWh/m2/year. A sensitivity analysis of various quantum sharing ratios found that the saving value of ESCO is inversely proportional to that of University A as the client when the quantum sharing ratio for the former is increasing.

“…Because of this lack of knowledge, in many times systems and equipment were chosen regardless of their energy use or effect on the operational expenses. Energy conservation is regarded as an effective measure to cater this problem and is observed to be achievable too [6]. The optimal use and reduction of energy consumption hold more importance as compared to adding more in the generation mix [7].…”

The Energy Auditing is the key to the utilization which balance out the circumstance of energy crisis by providing the conservation schemes. The accompanying paper has been set up so as to encourage our comprehension of the energy consumption pattern of the Residence of hostel building in Agricultural Engineering College and Research Institute, Trichy. In the hostel, most of the energy usage spent on enlightenment and cooking purpose by the means of electricity and Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG). The accompanying paper presents the identification of zones of energy wastage and estimation of energy sparing potential in the hostel which has been made by walk-through energy Audit. Likewise, a detailed examination of data gathered is done by recommending cost-effective measures to improve the efficiency of energy use. Estimation of implementation costs and payback periods for each recommended action has been made. Based on the analysis of auditing exercise, some recommendations were suggested to reduce the electric energy consumptions which can reach up to 49.8%. The LPG for cooking can be partially reduced by implementing a steam cooking system in the hostel. The results will be beneficial for the operation and maintenance team to manage electrical and LPG usage and reduce the hostel overall expenditure.
