| Summary: | Lighting systems are used in all building types and consume large amounts
of energy as well as adding to carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. The aim of
this research was to analyze energy consumption in the lighting systems of
a new building. This study conducted a preliminary energy consumption
audit of the Faculty of Science on the Kasetsart University Sriracha Campus,
Thailand. The actual energy consumption in the study period and the
specific energy index (specific energy consumption) were assessed. The
results showed that the total electric power of all bulbs in the building was
72.13 kW and about 74 % were 20 W lamps. Annual energy consumption
and carbon dioxide emissions were 157,753.73 kWh and 89,477.92 kg
carbon dioxide for 9 hours use. The total energy consumption accounted
for 1.64 % and 4.37 % based on 9 and 24 hours operation, respectively. The
specific energy index was higher than the average for this university.
Therefore, the energy consumption data obtained are very important in
developing energy‐saving measures. |
