“…The advantages of LED lighting is its small size, high reliability, high colour-rendering index, long life, energysaving, and environmental protection [53]. This leads to a drop in power consumption anywhere near 15-70% [54]. ASHRAE 90.1 2013 shows that the recommended lighting power density is below 8.82 W/m 2 [55].…”

“…Thirdly, the final stage refers to the implementation of the detailed analysis of capital intensive modifications (Level 3) [59]. Generally, energy auditors follow the methods listed by ASHRAE in performing a building energy audit [54]. ASHRAE, a global energy conservation and development society, was established in 1894 to provide newer ideas and technologies for a much more sustainable built environment.…”

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.

Global warming is a growing issue today due to the concerns of carbon emissions to the environment. Meanwhile, learning institutions such as university could play a significant role in promoting energy conservation and sustainable campus operations. The objective of this paper is to highlight the performance of smart lighting control system for restrooms where the project has been carried out at the Faculty of Electronic Engineering Technology, Universiti Malaysia Perlis. The methodology processes include the initial study and field measurement of the energy consumption for lighting system during pre-retrofit condition, design, and development of the lighting control system and lastly analysis of the designed system in post-retrofit condition after installation. On the overall, 58 motion sensors have been installed at 30 restrooms where the result shows that in average 77.5% of reduction in energy consumption per day for each restroom. This situation has given tremendous benefits to the university operation where the university could save 9377 kWh per year and reduced RM 3423 from electricity bill per annum. In addition, this project also contributes to the environmental sustainability where the amount of electrical energy that has been successfully reduced is equivalent to 6508 kg of CO 2 avoidance to the environment.
