Abstract Among all building envelops, windows are typically the weakest barrier to heat ingress. The building energy consumption of any conditioned building located in the tropical country is deeply governed by the amount of heat gain inside the building because heating ventilation and air-conditioning (HVAC) system is a major energy consumer. Hence, it can be easily inferred that the energy consumption of a building can be reduced through judicial selection of window glasses. This paper illustrated the importance of thermal transmittance (U-value) and solar heat gain coefficient (SHGC) value of window glazing in detail and also demonstrated the energy savings potential of various types of commercially available windowpanes. The electric energy savings potential of various types of windowpanes such as tinted, reflective, single glazing, and double glazing glasses have been analyzed through eQUEST energy simulation software for a building, situated in the tropical region of India. Building architectural data and all other information regarding HVAC, lighting, etc. have been collected during the energy audit and trained in the eQUEST simulation for further analysis. The calibration of simulation model has been done using actual monthly electricity consumption data of the case building. This study depicts the percentage decrease in electrical energy consumption due to retrofitting of various commercially available window glasses compared with base building. The study also compares the importance of main two determining factor(s) U and SHGC value behind the judicial selection of proper window glazing.

Didik Ariwibowo, in this paper explain that energy audit activities conducted through several phases, namely: the initial audit, detailed audit, analysis of energy savings opportunities, and the proposed energy savings. Total energy consumed consists of electrical energy, fuel, and materials in this case is water. Electrical energy consumption data obtained from payment of electricity accounts for a year while consumption of fuel and water obtained from the payment of material procurement. From the calculation data, IKE hotels accounted for 420.867 kWh/m2.tahun, while the IKE standards for the hotel is 300 kWh/m2.tahun. Thus, IKE hotel included categorized wasteful in energy usage. The largest energy consumption on electric energy consumption. Largest electric energy consumption is on the air conditioning (AC-air conditioning) that is equal to 71.3%, and lighting and electrical equipment at 27.28%, and hot water supply system by 4.44%. Electrical energy consumption in AC looks very big. Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources of the statutes, the profile of energy use by air conditioning at the hotel by 48.5%. With these considerations in the AC target for audit detail as the next phase of activity. The results of a detailed audit analysis to find an air conditioning system energy savings opportunities in pumping systems. Recommendations on these savings is the integration of automation on the pumping system and fan coil units (FCU). The principle of energy conservation in the pumping system is by installing variable speed drives (VSD) pump drive motor to adjust speed according to load on the FCU. Load variations FCU provide input on the VSD pumps to match. Adaptation is predicted pump can save electricity consumption up to 65.7%. Keywords: energy audit, IKE, AC

Electrical Energy Consumption

Increased energy consumption can lead to depletion of fossil energy reserves that can pose a threat to energy supply in Indonesia. One way to increase the intensity of energy savings is to make changes in consumer behavior. The development of gender roles, abilities, and attention led most researchers to argue that women are more consistent in attention to environmental change than men. Women are more concerned with environmental quality and participate in environmental activities. Thus, this research tries to determine the influence of psychological factors on the behavior of household electrical energy consumption in term of gender differences. This study used questionnaires distributed using Google Docs to household electrical respondents several in Indonesia. Referring to ABC (Antecedents-Behaviour-Consequences) model of consumer behavior, the total of 808, questionnaires from 526 male respondents and 282 female respondents were successfully collected. The data were processed by the Partial Least Square Equation Modeling Model (SEM-PLS) using Smart-PLS software. The study concluded that,if given the consequences, women have higher influence to the behavior of electrical energy consumption than men. Overall psychological factors have a positive and significant influence on the behavior of electric energy consumption in Indonesia.

The residential sector was one of the contributors to the increase in the world energy consumption and CO2 emission due to the increase population, economic development, and improved living standard. Developing a reliable model of electrical energy consumption based on techno-socio economic factors was challenging since many assumptions need to be considered. Over the past decade, bottom-up approaches such as multi-linear regression, artificial neural network (ANN), and conditional demand analysis were used for developing mathematical models to investigate interrelated characteristics among techno-socio economic factors. However, the existing models mostly were focused on countries that had different socio-economic level and cultures from the developing countries of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations. Similar studies in that tropical region were very scarce and only limited for linear modelling under the conditions of techno-socio economic factors. In this study, we proposed ANN for developing a model of electrical energy consumption based on techno-socio economic factors for a tropical region, Malaysia. In order to develop the model, quantitative measurement and qualitative assessment were required. The quantitative measurement was based on the monitoring of total electrical energy consumption with a one-minute interval. In contrast, the qualitative assessment utilized a questionnaire survey to assess household characteristics based on techno-socio economic parameters. The objective of this paper was to propose a conceptual framework of the estimation model for household electrical energy consumption with the consideration of techno-socio economic factors using ANN.

Abstract— The Energy Audit is an assessment of energy consumption and the identification of energy savings, as well as recommendations to increase the efficiency of energy consumption and use of energy sources in the context of energy saving. This study aims to describe the testing of electrical energy in the rooms of the Sotis Kupang Hotel from the 2nd (second) to the 6th (sixth) floor, taking samples of 7 (seven) different room types and carried out a test of electrical energy in relation to the use of lamps and air conditioning. The method used in this study is data collection, survey, observation and direct measurement of the use of light and AC (air conditioning). The data analysis technique used is to determine the estimated value of the electrical energy consumption and the value of the energy consumption intensity (IKE). The calculation and analysis show the value of IKE is 30.96 kWh / m2/ year, which is categorized as "very efficient". The IKE value for the use of AC (air conditioning) is 206.33 kWh / m2/ year and which is categories as "somewhat wasteful". The calculation of the PHE (energy savings) results in a PHE for the use of AC of 172.88 kWh / m2/ year, which falls into the category of "fairly efficient.

Result Analysis

This paper provides a characterization of the electrical energy consumption of agrifood industries located in the central region of Portugal that use refrigeration systems to ensure the food safety. The study is based on the result analysis of survey data and energy characteristics of the participating companies belonging to the following agrifood sectors: meat, dairy, horticultural, distribution and wine. Through the quantification of energy consumption of companies is possible to determine the amount of greenhouse gases (GHGs) emissions indexed to its manufacturing process. Comparing the energy and GHGs emissions indexes of companies of a sector and between sectors is possible to create reference levels. With the results of this work is possible to rating the companies in relation to reference levels of energy and GHGs emissions and thus promote the rational use of energy by the application of practice measures for the improvement of the energy efficiency and the reduction of GHGs emissions.
