2.1 BACKGROUND

Taiace Energy was invited for conducted Investment Grade Audit (“IGA”) for Energy
Performance Contracting (“EPC”) for Angsana Ipoh Mall.Taiace Energy has conducted
IGA on 6-7 December 2018.

The audit team comprises of the followings:

Audit team:

Taiace team

Muhammad Khairul Aizat Energy Auditor

Muhammad Faiz Energy Auditor

Taiace is committed in this EA and has already employed best engineering judgment
and best practice methods in estimating energy saving and implementation cost. In
addition, it is expected that there would be consequential benefits as a result of various
recommended energy saving measures. For example, by reducing lighting load will
lead to reduction of air conditioning cooling load as well. Due to difficulties to account
these consequential effects, Taiace will use the present energy end-use load
apportionment to check the feasibility of the energy saving measures estimation.

Throughout the entire EA, Taiace assessment and recommendation are impartial. The
principal in calculating the amount of saving is the minimum and the cost is fairly on
the high side and for charts, moving averages is used instead of just adding the trend
line to have more accurate analysis.

The data used in the study was based on the documented evidence (DPM data reading,
occupancy), interview with maintenance team, equipment manuals, records and field
measurements and observations of building facilities made available to the Energy
Audit Team members. The EA also refer to the registered references as the following:
  Part 1, Guidelines for Conducting Energy Audits in Commercial Buildings
 Malaysian Standard, MS1525:2007, Code of Practice on Energy Efficiency and
Use of Renewable Energy for Non-Residential Buildings.

Taiace would like to acknowledge and express our gratitude to all parties that were
involved in this EA whether directly or indirectly. Without the assistance of those parties
this EA will not be successfully completed.

3.1 STUDY APPROACH

A comprehensive energy audit study requires a thorough examination of all factors that
influence energy. A system approach was employed to ensure that all relevant factors
were identified and assessed in terms of their impact on energy utilization. This
approach is outlined below.

3.2 REVIEW OF BUILDING OPERATION & UTILIZATION FACTOR

Since energy usage is influenced by the manner in which a facility is operated and
utilized, it was necessary to collect data on occupancy rates (hours/day, days/week,
etc.) and environmental control. Data on past energy consumption levels was collected
to establish a cost baseline, equipment manuals and building layout were investigated
and interviews were conducted in random with building occupant to understand the
building and equipment use and function. Portable data logging devices were used
to establish building load profile and major energy consuming end-users output. Spot
measurements on indoor room condition were also conducted.

3.3 DEVELOPMENT OF ENERGY SAVING MEASURES (ESMS)

Several potential measures were developed based on the preliminary survey and
discussions with various building operating staff members. Evaluation of the monitoring
data also revealed potential ESMs and provided crucial data for calculating energy
savings. The most feasible measures were then selected that would provide the
shortest payback and highest savings potential. The general criteria used in
determining measure feasibility was the one year simple payback range and overall
measure implementation cost.

6.2 INSTALLATION OF POWER QUALITY DEVICE

Automatic Power Quality Device is composed of voltage regulation system, servomotor and
automatic control circuit. When grid voltage is unstable or when the load changes, the
automatic control circuit would sample, amplify and send signal to control the servomotor to
adjust the position of carbon brush on the voltage optimisation system, regulate the output
voltage to the rated value finally.

Main function:

 Safe start: In the first stage, it detect the input voltage to see if it is too low or too high,
then begins to regulate the output voltage, thus ensure the output voltage is most
suitable for load demand. The output voltage could be pre-set to be and stabilized at
any voltage value between 190Vac-230Vac according to load demand.
 Over-voltage protection: When output voltage >250Vac, output A.C contactor
automatically cut off, after 4~7s delay, to prevent equipment from damage.
 Under-voltage protection: When output voltage <170Vac, output A.C contactor
automatically cut off, after 4~7s delay, to prevent equipment from damage.
 Short circuit protection: When the short circuit occurs to the output, the air switch will
cut off the input power source automatically.
 Regulating voltage smoothly: While regulating voltage, our energy-saving power
conditioner regulates it smoothly, this measure does not produce any instantaneous
surge or current impulsion. This kind of Power Quality Device can protect the
brightness of lamp from sudden change and prolong the life-span of lamp as much as
possible.
 Safe and reliable operation: The Power Quality Device has ‘manual and auto’ bypass
function, once malfunction occurs, it can switch to the grid power supply automatically.
And during the process of switching, the instantaneous lighting-off won’t happen.

6.3 REPLACEMENT OF T8 FLOURECENT LIGHT BULB WITH LED
TUBE

There are two main ways to save energy used for lighting. One is to use more energy efficient
lighting. The other is to reduce the operating time of the lighting. LED Tube is an innovative
replacement of T8 fluorescent lamp. It is a new kind high efficient energy saving lamp which is
based on the fluorescent technology and precision electronic self-ballast technology. Besides,
the technology contains self-ballast, self-reflection and recycled advantages. Other benefit as
below:

o Replace the T8 fluorescent lamp directly and can save more than 50% energy

o The life span is 30,000 hours which is more than three times than T8 fluorescent
lamp

o Adopt pure tri-phosphor light source, color show index Ra>80, the lighting add
to 15%

o It is rather cold than conventional T8, where this can prevent heat generated in
the surrounding and helps save the airconditioner energy use too.

o This LED Tube structure can moistureproof, dustproof and pollution prevention

o LED Tube fluorescent lamps have a higher luminous efficacy than T8 or T12 lamps.
Luminous efficacy indicates how much light a lamp generates from the energy it
consumes. The higher the value, the more energy efficient the lamp is. The luminous
efficacy of LED Tube lamps is at least 90 lm/W, while those of T8 and T12 lamps are
only about 80 lm/W and 70 lm/W respectively.

o Can be replaced and installed directly, investment recovery just in 3 years.

o Once turn on the lamp, it will brighten up without noise and flicker

Current practice;
o 36W T8 Fluorescent to be replace with 18W/16W LED Tube Fluorescent type
o 18W T8 Fluorescent to be replace with 10W/8W LED Tube Fluorescent type.
6.4 SMART COOLING OPTIMISATION SYSTEM FOR
AHU/WCPU

WCPU Smart Controller control panel with variable-frequency drive capability to

control the WCPU compressor speed during operation by using temperature
parameter. Compressor will operate proportional with temperature value.

Capability of controlling two compressor circuit of an air conditioning system with

variable speed operation

o Ability to matching the performance of the air-conditioning system with cooling

load

o Less surge during starting torque means less maximum demand

o Control the limitation speed of minimum and maximum compressor operation

(power saving)

o Cut off system avoid over heating compressor

o Soft Start and Prolonged Life Cycle Costs

System operation as below:-

1) Temperature sensor

- Collect the return temperature data from WCPU room and send to WCPU
controller

2) Controller

- Since the controller gets temperature data, controller will manipulate the data
and change into analog signal as an instruction for the VFD to operate.

3) VFD

- VFD turns the analog signal from the controller into variable frequency to make
the compressor by following the frequency speed from the VFD
SECTION C-2 Saving Measurement, Verification and Monitoring Methods.

Measurement & Verification (M&V) is the process to ensure that the saving will be
achieved after implementing the energy conservation measures. It is important to
choose an appropriate measurement and verification method in any proposed
improvement analysis. As per description and example in Figure below, Measurement
and Verification process to be conducted once installation completed. This will be
involved independent third party.

There are four approaches to measuring savings that are termed “Option A, B, C and
D. These are the cornerstones of the standardized set of procedures contained in the
IPMVP.
6.5 ENERGY SAVING CALCULATION FORMULA

The energy saving formula proposed under Energy Performance Contract (EPC)
between Taiace and the Client as below:

Energy Savings = Base year energy use – Post retrofit energy use +- Adjustment

Once all baseline data collected during this M&V process, analysis were carried out.
Correlations between the energy and factor that may affected it were studied. Below
table show the example of reporting format, in order to conduct continuous energy
saving monitoring.

SECTION C-3 Description of On-Going Services – Remote Monitoring System,

Asset and Maintenance Management System.
6.6 REMOTE ENERGY MONITORING SYSTEM

Remote Monitoring System (RMS) was developed to provide visibility of energy usage
to customer references. Taiace had installed more than 500units of smart energy
meter in both Malaysia and Indonesia, for remote monitoring purposes. For example,
in EPC contract with Ministry of Higher Education at Polytechnics, we had installed the
RMS before the implementation of energy saving measure. Data captured can be used
as indication for baseline energy use. This monitoring system objective is:

o Monitoring the performance of saving solutions via remote system to have real
time visualisation of the energy consumption.
o Data record management. Standard or customized reports delivered where you
want, when you want
o Tools to promote staff engagement in the process of utility conservation

Features in Remote Monitoring System:

o Site name, substation and sub meter is listed in profile.

o Search option for ease of access to current report and historical report.
o Report is presented in chart (bar & pie chart) and listing.
o Reports are printable and downloadable multi form.

Below pictures illustrate our web dashboard.

Asset and Maintenance Management System

In order to ensure smooth operation and maintenance activity after the installation of
ESM completed, Taiace already have own Asset and Maintenance Management
System. This will be useful tools for both Taiace and the Users/Client/Building Owner
in reporting either the routine maintenance or breakdown issues/complaints, Web
based system makes easier for both party to access at anytime and anywhere. Below
pictures illustrate our owned Asset and Maintenance Management System practice for
EPC contract for Polytechnics projects.
7 SUMMARY AND IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY

The key to any successful implementation is to put in place a sustainable

program with clear policy, target and person or party responsible to carry them
out. Establishment of a Sustainable Energy Management System (SEMS)
including the appointment of an Energy Manager with full support from the top
management is essential to ensure the success of energy conservation
activities.

SEMS put in place a mechanism to be driven by an energy manager for

everyone to get involve to elevate the level of managing energy status in six
vital elements namely policy & systems, organization, motivation, information
systems, training and awareness and investment. Awareness campaign and
promotion will get everyone to participate and help reduce usage. This is
particularly so if the leadership shows clear sign of seriousness in reducing
energy usage. Substantial no cost savings can be achieved by getting everyone
to participate and aware simple energy savings tips such as switching
equipment off when not in use.
