| Summary: | In this study, attempts were made to measure and evaluate existing internal parameters, which focus on Pusat Bahasa dan Pembangunan Insan (PBPI) building located on the UTeM main campus. Physical parameter requirements (energy consumption, air velocity, air flow, operating temperature, relative humidity and lighting intensity) compared to current Malaysian standard (Malaysian Standard 1525: 2014). The results for this project supply a pattern in internal fluctuations and comfort parameters. The project also analyzes the effects of indoor parameters at the comfort level of the occupants and investigates the impact of lighting changes as well as to, analyze and evaluate energy consumption. Based on information and data collection, the total building lighting and total energy consumption of estimated the current energy consumption for all floors. The air conditioning recorded the highest rate consumption was 72% of electricity usage in building, followed by the consumption of lighting was found to be 18% and other equipment 10%. Physical parameter data are collected in three sessions which is from 9:00 am to 11:00 am, 12:00 pm to 2:00 pm and from 3:00 pm to 5:00 pm with an interval of 2 minutes in each reading, the total average air velocity was recorded about 0.1764 m/s. The total average air flow was recorded about 9.8755 CFM. The average operating temperature was recorded (22.758°C) less than that of the Malaysian Standards MS 1525:2014 (24°C - 26°C). The average humidity was recorded 68.306% and average lighting intensity was recorded 461.422 lux. In addition, the Building Energy Index (BEI) for 2016/2017 is 128.53 kWh/m2/year and 137.55 kWh/m2/year for 2017/2018. BEI values in 2017/2018 were higher than that specified in MS 1525:2014 Standards, which is 135 kWh/m2/year. Finally, economic analysis is accompanied by potential alternative measures to achieve optimum building energy utilization. |
