Energy consumption and potential retrofitting of highway rest and service areas (RSAs)

The reduction in energy usage is proven able to minimize the carbon dioxide emission. Therefore, by promoting energy efficiency at Rest and Service areas (RSAs) along the highway is able to decreasing the carbon dioxide emission. This study aims to compare the energy consumption of the RSA that util...

Civil engineering (General) The reduction in energy usage is proven able to minimize the carbon dioxide emission. Therefore, by promoting energy efficiency at Rest and Service areas (RSAs) along the highway is able to decreasing the carbon dioxide emission. This study aims to compare the energy consumption of the RSA that utilized HVAC and non-HVAC. Thus, the study extends to determine the potential retrofitting of RSAs that responsive to energy reduction. Data collection conducted at the RSA in Johor Region. It found that energy consumption at Machap Northbound RSA was found very high compared to the other RSAs in Johor Region that not utilized full HVAC. It was proven that the usage of full HVAC system increasing the energy consumption at the RSA. Simultaneously, the carbon emission is also directional proportion to the energy consumption at the RSAs. Some retrofitting could be applied for energy efficiency in order to support the overall energy reduction at the RSAs. In conclusion, energy efficient RSAs can be achieved by promoting good energy management, applying best energy saving appliance and implementing passive design strategy. 2012 Thesis http://eprints.utm.my/id/eprint/29530/ http://eprints.utm.my/id/eprint/29530/5/FarineeAineeMFKA2012.pdf application/pdf en public masters Universiti Teknologi Malaysia, Faculty of Civil Engineering Faculty of Civil Engineering
