Abstract

This paper presents the methodology and opportunity in implementing energy conservation and efficiency in a medium scale industry. A user-friendly package was developed to assist the energy auditor in analyzing the data collected to determine the potential of energy efficiency and conservation. The software covers the analysis on motor, transformer, lighting, cable sizing, air-conditioning and power factor improvement. The analysis gives a straightforward cost comparison between the capital cost, running cost and the payback period. The software was developed using Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0.
