Measurement and analysis of energy consumption in a university building

In this paper, proposed a measure and evaluate existing internal parameters, which focused on the Language and Human Development Centre (PBPI) building at the Universiti Teknikal Malaysia Melaka (UTeM) main campus. Physical parameter requirements compared to current Malaysian Standards (MS 1525:2014). The paper also analyses the effects of indoor parameters at the comfort level of the occupants and investigates the impact of lighting changes as well as to evaluate energy consumption. The air-conditioning recorded the highest rate consumption that was 72% of electricity usage in the building, followed by the consumption of lighting at 18% and other equipment 10%. Finally, economic analysis is accompanied by potential alternative measures to achieve optimum building energy utilization.
