Abstract
Energy is always an important key to developing countries such as Malaysia. A stable and secured energy supply greatly supports economic growth and ensures the living quality of all citizens. Continuous effort has been made to increase the energy supply through renewable energy sources. However, the positive effect of this effort would not be optimized without ensuring an efficient utilization of the generated energy. Therefore, this project proposes is to investigate and modelling of building energy management system for sustainable energy usage for the College of Engineering (COE), Universiti Tenaga Nasional (UNITEN) building. The Quick Energy Simulation Tool (EQUEST) will be utilized to compare the energy consumption of the building before and after the implementation of the optimized algorithm to achieve a nearly zero energy building. Smart lighting system will be the main component under this simulation tool. In this investigation and model development, energy saving, carbon reduction and cost-benefit models will be developed for sustainable building energy usages. The optimized algorithm will be implemented in the innovated features of the building towards nearly zero energy building. Accordingly, a guideline and policy recommendation will be provided for future sustainable energy building implementation. It is anticipated that, by implementing the fully developed model and algorithm, there will be at least a minimum of 30% energy saving and 25% of CO2 reduction.
