This study is related to the consumption of electricity in UTM’s residential colleges. There are two objectives of this study, first is to identify the factors influence energy usage in the UTM’s residential colleges.

The research methodology consisted of literature review, data collection and data analysis. The data were obtained through questionnaires given to eleven residential colleges management in UTM and maintenance staffs. Descriptive analysis using SPSS software which involved frequency and critical index calculation are used in this study.
