A Study on Energy Consumption of a Resort Located in the East Coast of Malaysia

Rapid developments on tourism industry in Malaysian east coastal areas are expected to increase the electricity consumption. The situation worsens as the intermittent weather condition in that area also causes inconstancy on the electrical consumptions pattern. Thus conducting studies on electricity...
