Energy efficiency measurements in a Malaysian public university

Electricity consumption in commercial buildings requires serious attention as electricity is the predominant energy source used in these buildings. With the trend of increasing fuel price, consumers are now using electricity more wisely. This paper presents the energy management program carried out at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM). Various energy savings activities were initiated since 2010 and the Energy Efficiency Index (EEI) is used as an indicator of buildings' energy consumption performance during the energy management program. This program has shown encouraging resultswith a reduction in the electricityconsumption and providefurther avenue for continuous energy saving programs.
