Energy consumption analysis in engineering laboratory building

The growing demands for energy usage and better indoor environment quality has ignited interest in searching for modern solutions towards energy efficiency, electricity consumption and conservation in buildings. In this study an attempt is made to measure and evaluate the existing indoor parameters, which is focusing on the engineering laboratory building located in Mechanical Engineering Laboratory Complex (KMKM). The physical parameter conditions which include lighting and electricity consumption are then compared with the Malaysia Standard (MS 1525: 2014). The results for this project provide illustrative pattern of indoor fluctuation and comfort parameters. The project also analyzed the impact of indoor lighting parameters on the comfort level of the occupants and identifies any changes in lighting effect. Based on the information and data collection, the total of the building energy consumption from lighting portion is then being estimated. In addition, the Building Energy Index is also being determined for each section in the building.
