| dc.description.abstract | Since year 2005, Universiti Sains Malaysia has paid over RM 8 million annually on electricity utility bill. The figure is increasing and expected to be over RM 10 million by year 2010 based on the current increment rate. Energy consumption at lecture halls complex (KDK) buildings has been a concern since they have a longer operation period than administration buildings. The operation period was up to 17 hours per day for KDK compared to 9 hours per day for the administration buildings. Therefore an energy audit has been conducted to analyse and identify the level of energy consumption in KDK. Three lecture halls complex buildings were chosen for the field study, namely G03, G27 and E48. These buildings were different in ages but they were of similar mechanical and electrical (M&E) systems. The results show that the Building Energy Index (BEl) was influenced by the age of buildings. Older building has a higher BEl compared to the new building. The BEl for KDK G03 and E48 were 142. 18 and 132.79 kWhlm21year respectively. BEl for KDK G03 with a 30-year old water-cooled air-conditioning and mechanical ventilation (ACMV) system was found as competitive as KDK E48 with a 2-year old air-cooled system. KDK G27 with a 20-year old air-cooled system consumed 56% more energy than new system and had the highest BEI of 207. 77 kWh/m/year. | en_US |
