Abstract |
The Ministry of Energy, Water a. Communications (MEWC) have moved into their new Low Energy Office Building, LEO Building, in Putrajaya Malaysia in September 2004. This building is a National Demonstration project aimed at promoting energy efficiency
(EE) in buildings, and the project is part of a wider program aimed at developing the capacity of the Malaysian building industry in EE building design. The target for the Energy Index of the 17,800m2 building (A/C area) is an equivalent electricity
consumption of 100kWh/m2year. Among the energy saving features are well insulated walls and roof, exterior window shading, energy efficient lighting controlled according to occupancy and daylight availability, energy efficient office equipment, a
comprehensive energy management system, and implementation of a series of best practice solutions for the mechanical and electrical systems. The building also demonstrates use of renewable energy, as a 3-kWp grid connected photovoltaic system is
installed on the roof. The building is designed to meet and in some area exceed the standard of MS 1525: Code of Practice for Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy in non-domestic building. This entails, that the building is designed for an illumination
level of 300 - 400lux. Installed lighting and small power loads are each reduced to approximately 8 W/m2, compared to a typical load of 15 - 20W/m2 for each respectively.
