Abstract

Energy efficiency implementing strategy requires various approaches for different condition to increase the effectiveness. The energy efficiency normally refers energy usage without wastage. Normally, certain reference or benchmarking to certain standard will be used such as building energy index (BEI). Two new indexes were introduced in this paper namely Effective Building Energy Index (EBEI) and Specific Building Energy Index (SBEI). This paper presents the benchmarking additional approach so as to reduce energy wastage in Engineering Complex, UiTM Shah Alam. BEI for this complexs was found to be 149 kWh/m2.year and EBEI is found to be 186 kWh /m².year. The SBEI was found to be 0.207 kWh/m².year for an occupant. With various approach discussed in this paper, an expected energy reduction of 20% can be achieved.
