Malaysia's hotel energy management system (EMS) for energy efficiency improvement

Energy management terms are rather defined by a different type of meaning by various types of people. For an industrial owner or sector, energy management is judicious or effectiveness usages of energy in order to maximize profit by minimizing the operation cost and enhance competitive positions.

Electronics Nuclear engineering Energy management terms are rather defined by a different type of meaning by various types of people. For an industrial owner or sector, energy management is judicious or effectiveness usages of energy in order to maximize profit by minimizing the operation cost and enhance competitive positions. Performing energy management system for a hotel is rather critical to reduce operational cost. Since the consumption of energy in hotels depends on various factors, it was necessary to have a clear idea about some of the general characteristics that have proven to influence energy consumption in hotels; these include area, built up area, number of rooms and occupancy rates.

Therefore, the methodology proposed are to analyze the potential of energy saving, life cycle cost and the payback period of the retrofit lighting system. Asoftware simulation called Relux Suite is used to simulate the existing lighting system and the alternative proposal for the outcome result in term of illumination factor and energy consumption. The output of the simulation then is compare between the existing and the several alternatives proposal.
