Electrical conservation and development of energy management system for public building

Abstract

This research was a study of energy management in public building. The goals of this project are to decrease energy consumption and to enhance energy management system of the building. Regarding the energy survey, the building lights are turned on for 24 hr. per day in order to satisfactorily serve the customers. In the study, it was found that the energy consumption of electric light on the fourth floor roof can be reduced by changing the light “Floodlight MH. 4x250W” to be “High bay LED 4x150W” For the merit, this project can save the energy around 6,632,570 baht per year and switching towards high-efficiency lanterns and replacing FL. T8 light bulbs installed in the walkways with FL. T5 models. This reduces lighting cost by 361,425 baht per year. Moreover, the energy management system was analyzed by using SWOT Analysis. As a result, we observed the barriers to communication must be overcome to promote energy conservation. One approach is to increase the performance through the use of communication strategies within organizations. This method will help align employees understanding and participating in activities of conserve energy.
