Energy Efficiency for Building 13 and Building 14 of Academic Complex of Universiti Teknologi Petronas

The main purpose for this report is basically to discuss the preliminary research done and basic understanding for the chosen topic, which is Energy Efficiency Audit for Building 13 and Building 14 of Universiti Teknologi PETRONAS. The objective is to find the level of Building Energy Index (BEI) and the Overall Thermal Transfer Value (OTTV) for both buildings. The challenges in this project are to determine the energy consumption for 1 metre square of the building area per year and also to determine the effect of sunlight on the building envelope. Few calculations and surveys will be done for the project in order to get the BEI and OTTV. From the result obtained, the level of BEI and OTTV of both buildings can be categorized either it is efficient or not. The result of BEI for Building 13 and Building 14 of UTP are 100.9kWh/m2/Year and 132.7kWh/m2/Year respectively. While the OTTV for Building 13 and Building 14 are 94.53291 W/m2 and 94.41165 W/m2 respectively. In term of BEI, both building is considered efficient according to the MS 1525: 2007 standards but for the OTTV, the result is not within the standard
