The use of Building Information Modelling (BIM) has been widely practised. In this paper, the method of Terrestrial Laser Scanning (TLS) and 3D modelling is done before analyse using BIM. This study aims to analyse the energy consumption of PMU building by using BIM in order to have a better designed project as well as to lower risk and better predictability of outcomes. It discusses studies integrated with the design method, on the use of Building Information Modeling (BIM) to build performance simulations. As for the outcome, cooling load and energy consumption analysis are presented in this study.

“…As explained by Energy Commission (2014), the star rating ranges from 2-star to 5-star, with 2-star explaining minimal efficiency and 5-star representing maximum efficiency. Despite of this effort, the awareness level among residential sector towards energy efficiency is still low (Rahman et al, 2017).…”

There is a growing interest in reducing energy consumption in every sector of the economy. As compared to other sectors, the residential sector is a substantial consumer of energy in every country, and therefore a focus for energy consumption efforts. This study aims to compare through ranking procedure of awareness and current practice of energy saving tips in two separate regions (Eastern and Central) in Malaysia. The study has incorporated eight energy saving tips that are regularly exposed and practiced in many nations. A total of 648 respondents from both regions were participated in this study. The results have indicate that the level of awareness for energy saving tips are similar for both regions, but opposite results are found for practicing the energy saving tips in both locations. This study will help the households to practically implement the energy saving tips which will save electricity bills and facilitate supports the green initiatives promoted by the government.

“…Thus, it is important to approach the problem with both technical efficiency improvements and behaviour change through raising awareness on energy-saving practices. Rahman, et al (2017) reported that many people in Malaysia did not know how to increase energy efficiency in their daily energy use. Strategies for increasing energy efficiency in buildings can become ineffective due to residents' energy consumption behaviour (Hussaini & Abdul Majid, 2015).…”

Household electricity consumption per capita has been steadily increasing every year. Current literature on energy has largely focussed on energy efficient technologies. There has been little attention on consumer awareness of home energy use. In an effort to create awareness, Malaysia launched the Home Energy Report in 2015. However, it is not known whether the Home Energy Report has helped improve residents' energy-saving awareness. This paper seeks to examine users' feedback on the use of the Home Energy Report for improving energy-saving awareness. Thirty residents in Penang who received the Home Energy Report were interviewed. The findings showed that while the Home Energy Report is received by all participants, only 30 percent of respondents accessed it regularly at least once a month, whereas the remaining 70 percent accessed it intermittently. The study revealed mixed findings where about half of the participants shared a positive complete experience with using the Home Energy Report and the other half had a somewhat rewarding or unrewarding experience. The study concluded that the lack of user orientation to the Home Energy Report and the poor efficiency of its design operability were the underlying problems impacting the users' experience. As a result, poor experience with the Home Energy Report has hindered its effectiveness in creating energy-saving awareness. The findings reveal the limitations of the existing Home Energy Report in raising energy-saving awareness and promote a new area for future energy management research.
