Air conditioning energy profile and intensity index for retrofitted mosque building: a case study in Malaysia

Mosques generally consume far lesser energy than other types of buildings owing to their functional and operational characteristics. Since an effective energy management with a proper handling of the air-conditioning system can offer benefits such as the reduction of energy consumption as well as...
