Energy audit for the UMP library and energy efficiency project proposal

Nowadays, people are more concerned about energy efficiency, energy consumption and conservations in buildings. Energy audit is considered as one of the comprehensive methods in checking the energy usage and wastage in buildings. This paper presents the preliminary study of energy audit that has bee...

Energy audit is considered as one of the comprehensive methods in checking the energy usage and wastage in buildings. This paper presents the preliminary study of energy audit that has been done in UMP library. In this study, energy audit and energy consumption data has been logged over a period of time by installing a data logger at the library main switch board. Based on the study, the actual implementation of energy efficiency programmed is done by installing capacitor bank at main switch board to improve the power factor, reduce the current consumption, voltage drop and electrical energy losses.
