| Abstract |
In this paper, a simulation tool was developed to calculate the current energy practices of the building services of a building and derived optimization methods for each services. The extent of this research covers major building services such as illumination, Air-Handling Unit (AHU), and heating elements by proposing various improvement methods for the services with today's available technology. The simulation tool, with an intuitive graphical user-interface (GUI) acquire current practice of the services via user input on a room-by-room analysis and calculates each room for its power consumption and monthly energy usage, improved power consumption and energy usage, cost savings, Carbon reduction, optimization cost, and the return on investment (ROI). This simulation tool could generate results in the form of graphs and spreadsheet based on the tabulated services both for the current and optimized service practices selected. |
