Topic 2: Energy Saving Opportunities using Intelligent Building Automation System (BAS) by:Mr. Au Ying Hao |
TOPIC 1 :ENERGY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM & ENERGY ANALYSIS – BRIDGING THE GAP
Methodologies to improve energy efficiency can only be realized if there is a proper monitoring and verification system in place. Normally, a Building Automation System (BAS) or an Energy Management System (EMS) has the ability to gather information from digital power meters installed within its network. However, the process to make meaningful analysis is often not a part of a BAS or EMS.
This presentation addresses the lack of this portion and attempts to bridge the gap required for meaningful energy analysis and raw data gathered. Topics such as design planning, energy and water metering strategy, analysing raw data and transforming them to reports and key energy indices will be discussed. In relation to our nation’s green building agenda, this presentation will be presented with relevance to GBI’s credit requirement – Malaysia’s very own Green Building Rating & Certification Tool.
TOPIC 2 :ENERGY SAVING OPPORTUNITIES USING INTELLIGENT BUILDING AUTOMATION SYSTEM
The World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD) identifies buildings as one of the five main energy users, where “mega-trends” are needed to transform energy efficiency. Buildings accountfor 40% of primary energy in most countries & consumption is rising. The InternationalEnergy Agency (IEA) estimates that for buildings, current trends in energy demand will stimulateapproximately half the energy supply investments through 2030.
Building Automation Systems (BAS) have the ability to save energy & improve productivity by creating a comfortable working environment. BAS optimization creates improved energymanagement. Nonetheless, regular building audits &fine-tunings are necessary to ensure the energymanagement is maintained.
