1.0 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
In fact, energy has been an integral part of our lives and we are commonly depending on
energy since before till now. It is very important, and it becomes one of the basic human needs.
In addition, energy is not only useful for our homes and offices, but it also influences energy
also influences world politics. The increasing number of household members, the more
electricity is consumed. According to the WorldData website, the total of energy consumption
in Malaysia is recorded as much as 136.90 billion kWh per year meanwhile 4,177 kWh per
capita. Malaysia will be able to save up to RM46.9 billion in energy spending between 2016
and 2030, whenever all the consumers are implementing energy efficiency initiatives
worldwide.
Furthermore, for this project, we are assigned to create a mini proposal since our team was
appointed as the facility management contractor as well as the energy management committee
at an installation. We need to choose a company or organization that can develop Sustainable
Energy Management System (SEMS) in their place. The organization that we have chosen is
Sekolah Kebangsaan Peradong which is in a rural area. The school we selected is responsible
for developing an installation following the proposal that we have planned. The system will
adopt an ASEAN SEM certification initiative named The Gold Standard of Energy
Management (EMGS), with commitment from all levels to achieve 3 Stars evaluated within a
reasonable timeline of its implementation. So, in this proposal, we elaborate in detail on the
actions and processes that should be followed to adhere to the need for top management
Sekolah Kebangsaan Peradong to be provided for the implementation of SEMS in the school
in order to obtain 3 Star Energy Management Gold Standard Certification (EMGS). Based on
our planning, Sekolah Kebangsaan Peradong will achieve the 3-Star certification within 2 and
half years by fulfilling all the assessments given.

2.0 OBJECTIVE
• To perform and create awareness on the importance of Sustainable Energy Management
System (SEMS) for sekolah Kebangsaan Peradong, Kuala Klawang, Jelebu, Negeri
Sembilan.
• To acquire corroboration from top management to achieve for 3-Star Energy Management
Gold Standard Certification (EMGS) from the ASEAN Energy Management Scheme
(AEMAS).

1
• To illustrate the roadmap in order to achieve the 3-Star certified Gold Standard of Energy
Management within the targeted period and indicate the financial implications that may be
involved.

3.0 INTRODUCTION
3.1 AEMAS
The ASEAN Energy Management Scheme (AEMAS) is a global ASEAN effort
established and endorsed by the 10 ASEAN Energy Ministers' top energy ministries and
departments. It is an independent, non-profit organisation that adheres to other
international standards while also adding extra criteria to show accomplishments and
effectiveness in energy management. AEMAS began in 2010 but was not formally
introduced until 2011.

Furthermore, AEMAS is supported by the European Commission and is directed by the

ASEAN Energy Centre (ACE) in eight ASEAN Member States, including Cambodia,
Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, and others. The AEMAS programme seeks to increase the
exposure and acknowledgement of ASEAN enterprises' and their employees' efforts to
improve energy consumption. They seek to add commercial value to the initiative. EMGS
offers enterprises a Sustainable Energy Management System (SEMS) that not only saves
money but also maintains and improves prices. Companies that take part in the EMGS
programme will also get a lot of training on how to manage their energy.

Next, as part of the ASEAN Energy Management Scheme (AEMAS), the Energy
Management Gold Standard (EMGS) certification programme qualifies energy
management experts. In less than a year, in 2011, the AEMAS organisation successfully
announced. Companies that have been recognised by AEMAS over a long period of time
adopt an integrated approach to energy management, which is a symbol of AEMAS
quality. Companies or organisations that acquire AEMAS accreditation are more likely to
attain the Gold Standard of Management. EMGS offers three levels of certification: one
star, two stars, and three stars. Companies will be examined based on their energy
management performance in order to gain accreditation and authorization under AEMAS.
Management, organisation, process, information, money, and corporate responsibility
should all be considered while evaluating EMGS certification. The highest degree of
accreditation attainable is three stars.

 3.2 COMPANY
Sekolah Kebangsaan Peradong has been operating for a long time in the Jelebu area,
where it was founded in 1925. This school is also considered to be one of the oldest in the
neighbourhood. It is in Kampung Peradong, approximately 10 kilometres from Kuala
Klawang. This school's name refers to its location in the Kampung Peradong area. As a
result, on March 27, 1976, or 26 Rabiul Awal 1396, YAM Datuk Haji Abu Bakar Bin Haji
Abu Bakar, Undang Luak Jelebu agreed to officiate this school.
Furthermore, the school was first built with wooden board walls, roof tiles, and mud
floors. For students to learn lessons, it is enough to just resemble a shelter. However, the
school has been actively evolving and has altered physically. This is consistent with
existing circulation. The school's development has resulted in the construction of four new
building blocks, a surau, and a computer lab. Furthermore, the school features a preschool
facility for children aged 5 to 6 years. The school has produced numerous people who have
made a name for themselves in many industries, such as business, prominent government
officials, politicians, and so on. Professor Omar Munir, a professor at UTM Skudai Johor
Bahru, and YB Ibrahim Sareh, a former Member of Parliament for Jelebu, are two
successful personalities.

4.0 PROBLEM STATEMENT

Sekolah Kebangsaan Peradong’s management is concerned about operational costs and
budgeting. It’s difficult to work within a tight budget because the total of staff and students is
more than a hundred. Furthermore, in August and September 2015, Sekolah Kebangsaan
Peradong used a high amount of electricity (kWh), 1166 and 1028, respectively, requiring the

3
school to spend more money to cover the cost of the electricity bill. The management of the
school decided to achieve at least a 10% saving rate on electricity costs to use as additional
expenses like development programmes, student activities, or other initiatives that benefit the
entire school.

The following are the problem statement in the project:

• Energy was can result in high electrical energy costs.

Stuff and students’ Sekolah Kebangsaan Peradong use many appliances of electricity
during classes such as lighting, fans, computers and air conditioning systems. The duration
of usage and the weather such as on summer can cause the high cost of electricity. The
organization can play a role by promoting energy awareness among the students such as
campaigns, seminars and workshops.

• Energy waste can cause the environmental harm

One of the global warming pollutions is caused by burning fossil fuels to generate
electricity or heat. It occurs the average of global temperature high and increase overtime.
Sekolah Kebangsaan Peradong is including the causes of ‘greenhouse effect’ in the Earth’s
atmosphere. So, the organization can use the light from sunlight, open the windows and
doors to reduce the energy waste and help the environment.

4.1 EMEER Standard Regulation

On 15th December 2008, the Malaysian government adopted the Efficient Management
of Electrical Energy Regulation 2008 (EMEER 2008) and published in the Federal
Register under the Electricity Supply Act 1990. The purpose of regulation is to improve
energy management practices among big energy consumers or generators at 3,000,000
kWh or more, as measured at one or more metering points and over a six-months period
or used any installation or operated by private installation licensee above than 3,000,000
kWh in six consecutive months. Additionally, the regulation currently only applies to
installations in Peninsular Malaysia and Sabah.
According to the Sekolah Kebangsaan Peradong, the energy of electricity consumption
in 2016 the usage from January until December only 9,289kWh. Following that, the school
not required to submit a report or documents to the Energy Commission’s Energy
Management Information System (EMIS). Even though, the Sekolah Kebangsaan

4
 Peradong not obligate to involve in any regulation, but the stuff and students need to save
the usage of electricity consumption, save the cost of electricity bills and also to save the
world.

5.0 ELECTRICAL ENERGY CONSUMPTION IN THE COMPANY /

ORGANIZATION

Any organisation, business and also household utilize electricity since it is necessary for all
operations, including the use of lighting, fans, computers, heating, ventilation, and air
conditioning (HVAC) systems, as well as other working appliances. Therefore, the electricity
consumption of Sekolah Kebangsaan Peradong depends on their usage. Lower electricity
consumption would ensue when a school holiday fell during that month. For instance, there
would be a school holiday in January 2015 and no classes would be in session, resulting in
lower electricity usage than in previous months. The weather also affects how much electricity
is used. The El Nino phenomenon is defined as an unprecedented warming with decreasing
rainfall. As a result, it will raise the temperature, which could cause a drought calamity. Thus,
the usage of electricity will rise accordingly.
Sekolah Kebangsaan Peradong has implemented numerous measures for energy-saving
strategies, such as:

• Replacing and using energy-saving appliances, which help in consuming less energy
supply, in response to the high electricity consumption in the school.

5
• Organized an energy-saving program in which they encouraged teachers, staff members,
and students to switch off all office equipment, HVAC systems, lighting, and fans while
not in use.

 The aforementioned graph displays, for the year 2015, the monthly cost (RM) and
electricity consumption in kilowatt hours (kWh). Based on the two figures above, the total
amount of electrical consumption in 2015 was 9289 kWh, which had cost RM 3971.1. Sekolah
Kebangsaan Peradong can be categorized as a rural area school as compared to urban schools
due to its location outside of towns and cities. Even though energy is quite inexpensive, it could
still be considered pricey in rural places. From January to August 2015, a rising trend was
constructed and can be seen above. According to [1], the southwest monsoon's active phase,
which anticipated the hot and dry weather would persist until the end of August 2015, was the
reason of the rising trend in the cost of the electricity used. Therefore, since the weather
returned to normal in September, the overall amount of electricity consumed has decreased
significantly.

6.0 EVALUATION AND AUDIT

6.1 Evaluation
Evaluation is an effective tool used for assisting management decision-making.
Furthermore, the initial stage in developing a Sustainable Energy Management System is by
undertaking an assessment of the current state of energy management. It can be carried out
by using the Energy Management Matrix. The purpose of the Energy Management Matrix
is to assist us in organizing energy management plans and determining as well as identifying
the existing level of complexity for various components of energy management in your
organization. This Matrix provides a quick, easy, and effective method for creating your
organizational profile. The Energy Management Matrix also provides a quick high-level
assessment of energy management strengths and weaknesses in six categories which are

7
energy policy, energy team, motivation, information system, marketing, and investment.
The ascending rows in the table, which display a level from 0 to 4, demonstrate the
increasingly sophisticated nature of these challenges.
The three lines drawn in the table below show the level of rating of the Energy
Management Gold Standard (EMGS). EMGS is a recognition given under the AEMAS to
end-users that have successfully implemented a sustainable energy management system in
accordance with the requirements of the scheme. The first level is 1-Star certification that is
red line. The second is 2-Star certification that is blue line and the third level is 3-Star
certification that is yellow line.

The Energy Management Matrix:

6.2 Audit

The term energy audit can be defined as a methodical evaluation of the energy use and
consumption of audited objects in order to discover energy flows, potential opportunities,
and to monitor and verify energy performance improvements and report them. Furthermore,
an energy audit is a procedure that aids in lowering the system's energy intake without
having a detrimental effect on output. Finding ways to lower billing expenses and energy
waste must be the first step in commercial and industrial real estate. Besides that, one of the
objectives of the energy audit is to understand current energy management techniques
whether the machine provided is efficiently being operated or otherwise. Next, it is also to
establish the baseline energy performance.

There are 3 types of energy audits which are:

1) Walk-through audit

Another name for walk-through audit is a preliminary audit. It can be categorised as

one of the simplest and fastest types of audits since the auditor merely examined the
organization's energy consumption. Additionally, a walk-through audit can be
conducted in a shorter amount of time. The auditors also are able to collect information
of the firm which is further required for a detailed energy audit.

2) Detailed audit

This kind of energy audit has to complete an analysis of possible capital-intensive

modifications, including modelling and simulation. For high accuracy, a detailed
energy audit may call for the collection of data over an extended period of time. It will
also provide detailed reports on energy consumption and savings, making it simple
for contractors to understand exactly what measures to implement.

3) Investment grade audit

Investment grade audit is for the company or organization that has a significant
amount of money to invest such as incorporating solar panels, incorporating nuclear
technology including any renewable energy, and so on. It also needs to have the input
from the detailed audit to proceed. In addition, investment grade audit is involved in
a high cost and complex systems to conduct. Therefore, the period for investigation
and monitoring is longer. It can be 5 years or 10 years but not only within 1 or 2 years.

7.0 METHODOLOGY OF SUSTAINABLE ENERGY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
(SEMS) IN THE COMPANY/ORGANIZATION AS PROPOSED ACTION PLAN
7.1 Development of Energy Management System
7.1.1 Energy Policy
Energy policy is a specific entity technique that governments often use when
selecting how to solve energy-challenging issues such as energy conversion,
distribution, and consumption. Regulations, international conventions, industrial
policy, energy efficiency standards, taxes, and other public policy tools are examples
of energy policy aspects. Energy is critical to the contemporary economy. The first step
in executing a successful approach is to create a realistic, rational, and comprehensive
energy policy that is backed by a clear delivery plan. As a result, Sekolah Kebangsaan
Peradong is responsive, committed, and devoted to implementing the Sustainable
Energy Management System (SEMS). Based on the Certified Energy Manager's
discussions, an energy strategy is being established to be offered via this proposal. Here
are the underlying principles:To train all workers and students on the benefits of energy
savings in the workplace.
• Consistently improve energy efficiency by setting up effective energy management
programmes and supporting all actions that make customers happy and give
workers a safe place to work.
• It is often a responsibility to use all facilities for the public while also indirectly
ensuring the health and safety of all individuals in each department.
• Reduce operational expenditures on energy while increasing asset value through
active and responsible energy management.
• To ensure that the workers are aware of this policy through regular education and
training initiatives.
• Encourage energy efficiency to guarantee that energy is used productively, and
waste is minimised in order to contribute to the more sustainable development of
communities.

7.1.2 Certified Energy Managers (CEM)

A Certified Energy Manager is someone who works to improve the
sustainability of a production, building, or facility. A Certified Energy Manager (CEM)
is a consulting firm that determines the most cost-effective strategies to minimise
energy usage in electrical, mechanical, process, and building infrastructure. Certified

10
Energy Managers (CEMs) are often team leaders that help their firms establish and
execute energy management programmes. CEM is becoming more and more popular
in the energy industry and among businesses that want to be as competitive as possible.
The Committee would be led by the organization's Chief Executive Officer
(Leader). The secretary, also known as the organization's chief executive officer, will
report to the CEO (Leader). Then there are the firm's party leaders, which comprise
three members of the organisation. A Certified Energy Manager (CEM) serves the
following functions:
• To improve the professional skills of those involved in the management and
evaluation of energy performance.
• Improving planning, organization, and accuracy while encouraging participation in
CPD programs.
• Plan ways to make the general public more energy efficient so that they can
understand and use the ideas and methods of fields related to energy conservation,
such as training and discussions for employees to raise their awareness.
• To monitor and evaluate the energy flows to ensure that they stay in perfect
condition.

7.1.3 Energy Management Team

Every position and department in a corporation plays a major role in ensuring
that every target or purpose that must be met is properly executed. Each team must also
be aware of each job that must be done for all teams to function successfully together.
It seems reasonable to assemble a multifunctional team to execute ISO 50001 energy
management. Energy management manages the project, which is directed by the CEO,

11
who may or may not be a member of senior leadership. The project team was then
dissolved and replaced with an energy team dedicated to ongoing development. In
addition, the team will coordinate energy-related operations with EMGS needs. All
parties concerned must recognise that their efforts might help Sekolah Kebangsaan
Peradong and will be comparable to new applicants with minimal credentials. So, we
put together an energy management team for the school. It is made up of the following
members of the firm's management team:

A job description for the organisation chart is as follows:

• CEO (chief executive officer)

The principal of Sekolah Kebangsaan Peradong is classified as the Chief
Executive Officer (CEO), the top level in an entire department. These cabinet
members are totally accountable for corporate decisions in reviewing and
controlling the organization's effectiveness. He then manages the organisation’s
mission and serves as the primary point of contact for the Board of Directors
(BOD).
• SECRETARY
This job is responsible for recording any communications from the CEO about
the order. Next, create an appointment schedule or plan, have a meeting, and
submit it. It is also necessary to complete the report by typing, formatting, and
assembling it. Any invoices or costs incurred by the organisation are meticulously
documented. As a result, the secretary is essential in completing an organisation.

12
 • OPERATIONS MANAGER
The operations manager is then entrusted with inspiring the company and
planning in accordance with set rules and strategies. These chair people may also
help the Human Resources department with hiring as needed or in coordination
with major people and the Board. They are in charge of budgeting, reporting,
planning, and auditing when forging partnerships and cooperation with other
organisations.

• HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGER

HR managers have a far more practical function, since they are in charge of the
daily planning and execution of the HR department's high-level goals, as well as
planning and creating new recruiting methods, managing employee benefits, and
so on. HR is in charge of personnel concerns such as dispute resolution and
directing disciplinary proceedings. Also, act as a consultant for other managers,
giving them advice on how to handle problems with human resources and making
sure the organisation runs smoothly.

• FINANCIAL MANAGER
These financial managers are more concerned with calculating the financial
division's or organization's expenses. They oversee maintaining the financial
condition of a secure and stable position. Furthermore, the division manager is
responsible for gathering, analysing, verifying, and reporting the organization's
final financial data. Important organisational information should be kept as secret
as possible to avoid a violation of confidence in the company. It will be a huge
concern for management and the company if there is a loss or negligence.

7.1.4 Energy Accounting Centres (EAC)

Energy Accounting Centre (EAC) is used to monitor, assess, and document an
organization's whole energy usage. Each of the EACs has a designated person in charge
who oversees tracking its energy usage. There were six energy accounting centres in
total, as shown in the below diagram of the Sekolah Kebangsaan Peradong's proposed
EAC layout. Nevertheless, more breakdowns of EAC for each of the functional areas
in those buildings are necessary in order to obtain an accurate energy trend. However,

13
since the school are not bearing a huge cost of energy, so it is enough person in charge
to monitor it.

EAC NO. Functional Area

EAC 1 Classroom, restrooms and wellness, science lab, toilet and electric room.
EAC 2 Administrative office, teacher’s room, toilet and electric room.
EAC 3 Meeting room, others facilities room, surau and electric room.
EAC 4 Store and KAP room.
EAC 5 School hall, store, classroom, toilet, and library.
EAC 6 Computer Laboratory.

The functional areas for Sekolah Kebangsaan Peradong listed above were
determined by the EAC. The structure where EAC 1-3 are located includes three floors,
the first and second of which would contain an electric room, along with classrooms,
restrooms, wellness areas, a science lab, a toilet, an administrative office, a teacher's
room, and other facilities. The location of EACs 4, 5, and 6 is different from the location
of the previous EAC. EACs 4 and 5 are comprised of the stores, KAP room, school hall,
classroom, toilet, and library. Last EAC 6, that only have computer lab in which it is
one of the highest usages of electricity.

7.1.5 Information System

An information system is a system that integrates manpower, technology, and
business processes to meet organisational objectives. According to information systems
specialists, these three components are essential components of every information
system (IS). Many system specialists have verified this. Sekolah Kebangsaan Peradong

14
will monitor its energy use every year. This is because they constantly take great
precautions to attain optimum levels of energy use. Users may get facts from the
information system in numerous methods, including:
• Technology
Nowadays, technology may be described as an ever-expanding system that
contains a wide range of information. Technology has become such a fundamental
part of our lives that we frequently take it for granted, from the development of
wheels to the harnessing of electrical energy for artificial lighting. As previously
stated, the first three components of an information system are hardware, software,
and data. Each of them will have larger chapters and debates, but it is necessary to
introduce them here so that we have a thorough knowledge of what an information
system is.

• Data
Data is information that has been converted into an efficient system for transit or
operation. Data, in contrast to today's computers and transmission media,
represents information that has been turned into discrete electronic information. It
can use data as either a single or multiple subject. Raw data refers to data in its
most basic and generally intangible digital state. Data, on the other hand, may be a
strong business tool when gathered, indexed, and assembled into a database. All
the definitions offered at the start of this chapter are concerned with how
information systems handle data. Organizations gather and evaluate many sorts of
data to make choices. The success of these findings may then be reviewed, and the
organisation can be modified consequently [2].

• Software
Software is a collection of instructions that inform underlying equipment what to
perform. This software is both physical and immaterial. When programmers build
software, they essentially write a series of instructions that instruct the hardware.
The two most significant forms of software are operating system software, which
makes hardware useable, and application software, which does something useful.

15
7.1.6 Energy Management Working Procedure (EMWP)
The Energy Management Working Procedure (EMWP) is a collection of
principles that must be obeyed on a daily basis by all workers. EMWP may begin after
all of the tools, such as Operating Guidelines (OG)/Process Mapping (PM)/Work
Instructions (WI)/Log Sheets (LS)/Computation Sheets (CS), have been designed and
prepared. At the top level of management, committee members will assess
recommendations for improvement approaches from other faculties as well as yearly
energy savings goals, taking into consideration the university's budget and
administrative capacities. Individual faculty EMC discussions, on the other hand,
should focus on expected continuous improvement, available funds, and project results
or evaluations.

To specify the stages for each area, Individual energy usage determines the
distribution of objectives. To establish an effective energy management strategy, both
EACs will utilise the suggested internal WP or EAC-WP. This WP will enable EACs
to find energy consumption management improvements in their individual locations.
Using EAC-WP, each improvement measure may be applied, monitored, and verified.
As part of the EAC-WP, OG, Work Instructions (WI), and Log Sheets (LS) must be
generated and utilised, as stated in the table.

16
7.2 Training and Awareness Session
Businesses may employ a wide range of teaching styles for training and awareness,
contribute to increasing awareness of skills shortages, decrease risks associated with
spending time, and establish a culture of safety behaviour in their organisations. With the
presence of informal interactions and reasons for them to practise energy efficiency with
one another, organizations at all stages should cooperate and commit to training and
awareness programmes to ensure that they have the essential abilities to recognise a threat.
Importantly, training and awareness should be fun and useful so that workers know what
is expected of them and how important it is that they do their part to protect the sensitive
data of the organization.
Sekolah Kebangsaan Peradong must have a plan and act to improve as effectively as
possible. For better outcomes, organisations must strengthen every component of their
energy management system and get cooperation from top management. Further, they must
consult with their management in order to build any strategy for generating better energy
management for their organisation. The training's purpose is to assist the management
team in realising the concepts and methods of energy management systems, as well as the
duties and responsibilities of school administration employees. This effort seeks to give
exposure and serve as a platform for optimum delivery of energy policy to all important
people. Technical training is used to educate students on specific energy-saving
technologies or approaches. or any other accredited training provider may give technical
training, and the materials taught must be beneficial to the intended purpose. EMC will
audit training attendance and keep a record of that as well. As a consequence, the
organisation can raise the number of individuals who are more mindful of conserving
energy for a better life in the future. Besides that, by establishing this training, it may help
in reducing the cost of wasted energy without risking any systems or management. A
targeted implementation plan must also be established, and the process must be monitored.

7.3 Securing Funding of Development of SEMS

A significant portion of the budget is required for the development of SEMS in the
organisation of Sekolah Kebangsaan Peradong in order to replace existing incandescent
lightbulbs with new organic light-emitting diode (LED) bulbs and to use energy-saving
electricity appliances that aid in the consumption of less energy. These schools must find
creative ways to get funding from the government or the private sector. With the funds

17
supplied, the organisation may replace incandescent bulbs with modern light-emitting
diode (LED) bulbs to promote a healthier atmosphere.
As a result, under the Energy Conservation Measure (ECM) system, we will achieve a
5% decrease in energy usage and savings in the following years. There are various
opportunities to improve, including the Green Investment Tax Allowance-GITA (Project),
which the Malaysian Investment Development Authority will study and approve (MIDA).
MIDA is a government agency responsible for the development of Malaysia's
manufacturing and service sectors. This incentive is accessible to companies that adopt
green technology projects for commercial or personal use. Schools may be able to cover
half of the cost through the receipt of subsidies. Also, the goal of investing in SEMS could
be good for any area that uses a lot of power, since it could help the management cut the
cost of monthly power costs and adopt the concept of cost-efficiency.
A school may have a hefty cost but applying for SEMS might be an investment. It is
one of the most effective ways to assist businesses in reducing future electricity
expenditures over this extended period. It may also be used to manage resources for future
generations.

9.0 EXPECTED RESULT

Sekolah Kebangsaan Peradong is able to reduce its electricity consumption while

preserving user comfort and maintain an effective by applying sustainable energy management
systems. Consequently, not only the students but also the teachers would be motivated to work
and learn in the most pleasant and environmentally conceivable way. The table below
illustrates that, in comparison to the actual electricity consumption (kWh) for the year 2015,
Sekolah Kebangsaan Peradong's estimated electricity usage (kWh) is concurrently declining.
The organization has greatly benefited from the improvements and adjustments made by
Sekolah Kebangsaan Peradong, not only in terms of cost savings but also in terms of
improvements to the working environment, culture, and other elements. It would therefore
demonstrate the organization's effectiveness and efficiency in planning and managing.

10.0 NO COST/LOW COST/HIGH COST ENERGY SAVING MEASURE (ESM)

Sekolah Kebangsaan Peradong has a number of options or methods for managing its
electricity consumption (kWh) in order to cut expenditures and usage. As a result, there are
three types of costs which are no cost, low cost, and high cost. The measures which can be used
are listed below.

Cost Measures That can be Utilized

No Cost • Switch off all office appliances, including the HVAC
system, lighting, and fans when not in use.
• Using thermostat setbacks by turning down the thermostat
when the building is not occupied.

Low Cost • Perform periodic inspections on machinery and equipment.

• Replace out existing incandescent lightbulbs for the new
light emitting diode (LED) bulbs, which are more energy
efficient and have an expected lifespan of more than
50,000 hours.
High Cost • Replacing and utilizing energy-saving appliances that aid
in consuming less energy supply.
• Adopting solar panels to lower or eliminate energy costs.

12.0 MEASUREMENT AND VERIFICATION METHODS
Measurements and verifications, or M & V, is the process of organizing, monitoring,
gathering, and analyzing data in order to verify the effectiveness of the energy savings,
environmental enhancements, and other outcomes from the application of energy conservation
measures (ECMs). These improvements in terms of energy usage, cost saving, and other
savings were assessed using various methods. Different parameters would therefore be required
for various approaches [2]. According to Phil Zito 2019, saving cannot be measured directly;
rather, it can only be determined by comparing measurements taken before and after the
implementation of a project and making appropriate adjustments for changes in the conditions.
Therefore, there are four options for measurements and verification. The first option is
partially measured retrofit isolation, which isolates the energy use of the equipment affected
by energy conservation measures from the energy use of the remainder of the facility while
only using partial measurement and stipulating certain parameters. The next option is retrofit
isolation, which is identical to the previous option but disallows conditions. So, in situations
where load and savings patterns are unpredictable, this alternative would have produced a less
uncertain conclusion. The third option, which is a total facility and uses utility meters to access
energy performance, is designed for projects where massive energy savings are anticipated.
The final option is calibrated simulation, which predicts energy use and can evaluate the
effectiveness of a single or a collection of energy conservation measures [3].
Following analysis and discussion, option B, retrofit isolation in the international
performance measurement and verification protocol (IPMVP) was selected to be employed for
this proposal. The Sekolah Kebangsaan Peradong will use this method to calculate the savings
they will benefits from implementing the energy conservation measure (ECM). Measurement
of the baseline data, the reporting period, and energy savings would be used to calculate savings
in order to obtain the adjusted baseline data. Below is a plan for measurement and verification
for Sekolah Kebangsaan Peradong.

The Gantt chart above is created based on the Sustainable Energy Management roadmap
that was used by Sekolah Kebangsaan Peradong in order to attain the 3-Star EMGS
Certification. Based on the planning made, Sekolah Kebangsaan Peradong will achieve 3-Star
EMGS Certification in a period of two and half years by meeting all the specified assessments.
Aside from that, the evaluation that must be completed is separated by quarter and begins in
the third quarter of 2022. Furthermore, to reach the 1-Star EMGS Certification that is targeted
in the second quarter of 2023, the preparation of the organization such as make
recommendations to improve all elements of the energy management system. Next, for the 2-
Star EMGS Certification, it is focusing on the implementation of Energy Conservation

24
Measures. Meanwhile, for the 3-Star EMGS Certification, Sekolah Kebangsaan Peradong will
maintain or improve the energy reduction that was declared in the 2-Star assessment and
integrate energy management with other standards. For this planning, Sekolah Kebangsaan
Peradong is targeting can achieve the 3-Star EMGS Certification in the fourth quarter of 2024.

14.0 CONCLUSION
In the conclusion, we choose Sekolah Kebangsaan Peradong as our project assignment
Sustainable Energy Management (EPO 626). This study is to create awareness about the
importance of Sustainable Energy Management System and to achieve an energy star rating
and an energy committee in order to meet the AEMAS requirements. Overall, Sekolah
Kebangsaan Peradong is rural areas school in Kuala Klawang, Jelebu, Negeri Sembilan, the
usage of electricity consumption (kWh) in 2015 is 9289kWh and the cost of bill on that year
RM3.971.1 and it slightly higher on July and August where the usage of electricity
consumption at 1166 kWh and 1028 kWh.
As a result, Sekolah Kebangsaan Peradong need to take an action in identifying factors that
have cause high energy consumption on those month and address energy efficiency into the
next year. Furthermore, Sekolah Kebangsaan Peradong not acquire to apply register on
EMEER standard regulation because based on the energy consumption kWh in 1 years is not
above than 3,000,000kWh. However, there are many methods and suggestions to Sekolah
Kebangsaan Peradong to use as solve energy challenging such as replace the broken equipment
to save energy equipment. Lastly, based on the study found out Sekolah Kebangsaan Peradong
able to achieve the saving at least 10% of saving rate from electricity cost to use as additional
expense.
