Energy efficiency measures on two different commercial buildings in Malaysia

Buildings consume almost the highest energy in Malaysia, and the highest energy consumption comes from electricity. In order to reduce energy consumption in the commercial buildings, energy efficiency measures need to be done based on factors that affect energy consumption in the building. In thi...
