Abstract

High Building Energy Index (BEI) reported for
Universiti Tecknologi PETRONAS (UTP) shows that there are
issues pertaining to the electricity consumption of the buildings
in the campus. Thus this study investigates the root cause of the
inefficient electricity consumption of UTP buildings. Initially,
survey methods that include walk-through of the buildings are
used to gather relevant information pertaining to energy
apportioning. Due to the restricted availability of the data, three
buildings, namely Building 13, 14 and Pocket C were chosen
from the new academic complex to represent the whole UTP. In
addition, structured questionnaires were distributed among the
end-users of the three buildings to determine information
regarding energy consumption from their perspective. The
results established that building survey, energy apportions and
performance monitoring approach is a suitable method to
investigate the root cause and potential solution to retrofit the
UTP buildings. Finally, by identifying all the possible challenges,
opportunities on energy saving is identified for retrofitting to
significantly reduce the overall BEI of UTP buildings.
