PROJECT/ACTIVITY OVERVIEW

3.1 Description

Malaysia is concerned about the world greenhouse effect as expressed by Prime Minister during

Conference of the Parties (COP 15) in Copenhagen. Electricity Generation is known as the major

source of greenhouse gas emission contributions. Thus, sustainable energy management is seen

as a potential action to implement in order to be a competitive nation and also cares of the

heritage. Politeknik Merlimau Melaka or also known as PMM, has started its operation on 17

November 2002 as the 14th polytechnics established by the Ministry of Education. PMM is built

on a 100 acre land. It consists of 43 blocks of buildings inclusive of management offices,

academic classes, workshops and laboratories, hostel, lodge and staff residential buildings,

completed with the latest equipment and high technology facilities. PMM can accommodate a

maximum capacity of 5060 students. PMM offers certificate and diploma engineering,

commerce, tourism and hospitality. The buildings gross floor areas is approximately 95,480 m²

with total of 38 building blocks. Energy Management Program was implemented in PMM to

reduce electricity consumption by establishment of Energy Management Committee. PMM is the

first government departments that implements energy saving in the buildings using Energy

Performance Contract (EPC). Three objectives were established based on PMM Energy Policy:

(1) Creating an efficient energy management system to improve energy efficiency and reduce

utility costs. (2) Reduce carbon emissions through efficient energy management in compliance

with national and international standard. (3) To be accredited with the Gold Standard of ASEAN

Energy Management Scheme (AEMAS).

3.2 Rationale

Whole Facility Methods was used to measure the amount of electric energy consumption and

Energy Efficiency Index (EEI) is used as an indicator to achieve the objectives. There are three

phases of implementation to be done before the impact of energy consumption can be determined

which is energy audits, implementation and monitoring. Each campus area has been sectioned to

facilitate the data collection under the Energy Accounting Centre ( EAC) and Energy

Management System (EMS) was developed for monitoring and reporting purpose where real

time energy consumption can be acknowledge and any changes or problem can be rectify

immediately. On top of that, all the process is monitored by an accredited auditor to ensure all

the process are comply to the standard. Based on previous Politeknik Merlimau energy

consumption from 2008 until 2011, total energy consumption is rising up to 201 654 KWh. In

July 2012, the implementation of the Energy Management Program was launched and until

Dismember 2013, there was significant saving of electricity consumption by 15 % involving

savings of electricity bill up to RM 30,000 according to Malaysian electricity board namely

Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB) tariff.

3.3 Target

PMM will continuously and promote the implementation of Energy Management Program and

apply the continuous Energy Efficiency (EE) strategy to further reduce energy consumption on

PMM campus and embark to the new area that can contribute more reduction of greenhouse gas

emissions such as waste, water, transportation management and green procument.

4. IMPACT

4.1 Energy Saving

Politeknik Merlimau has implemented Energy Efficiency Management System through Energy

Performance Contract (EPC) in collaboration with Taiace Engineering Sdn.Bhd. that involves

the whole campus starting July 2012. Energy saving activities such as energy audit, installation

and retrofitting work was completed in January 2013. Energy consumption in PMM was

increased each year in conjunction with the increase in building size and the numbers of students

each year. In 2011, the overall electrical consumption in PMM is almost RM2.42 million, 2012

is about RM2.44 million and RM2.04 million in 2013.

4.2 Environment Effect

In Malaysia, 90% of energy consumed is in the form of electricity. The commercial building

contributes approximately 32% of total energy consumption. Rapid development in this country

results in increased number of buildings as well as energy demand. The emmissions of carbon

dioxide (CO2) is considered as the main cause from the burning of fossil fuels, the burning of

fossil fuels not only pollute the environment but it contribute major potential cause for global

warming. Thus, the reduction in electrical energy consumption means that we can reduce the

burning of fossil fuels and also global warming. The result gained from the implementation of

Energy management system shows that PMM has reduced CO2 emissions by 666 ton since

2013.

4.3 Economic Effect

4.3.1 Invesment

PMM is the government institution under Ministry of Education (Higher Education Sector).

Every year PMM received funds for it operations from Ministry of Education. The whole cost for

4.4 Energy Efficiency Index

In January 2013, PMM has received recognition from the ASEAN Energy Management Scheme

(AEMAS) with Certification One Star under the ASEAN Energy Management Gold Standard

(EMGS). This recognition shows the fixed-width management is committed to implement energy

efficiency by adopting energy saving. Achievement of energy efficiency is measured using the

Energy Efficiency Index (EEI) based on MS1525:2007- Code Practice on Energy Efficiency and

use of Renewable Energy for Non-Residential Buildings. Energy Efficiency Index or EEI is the

key performance indicator (KPI) used to track the performance of energy consumption in a

building. EEI can be expressed by the following equation: EEI = KWh/ m2. Energy Efficiency

Index for PMM from 2011 to 2013 is shown in graph 3 and 4 below.

Graph 3: Yearly Energy Consumption Graph 4: Yearly Energy Efficiency Index

5.0 SUSTAINABILITY

5.1 Level Of Participation And Involvelment Of Pmm Residents

PMM is known as education center established under the Ministry of Education

Malaysia. Part of energy management organization, PMM formed two working groups as seen in

the Figure 1 below. The Working Group on Energy Management (EMC) focuses on providing

input, oversight and short- long term planning, and to ensure the energy project implementation.

The Energy Accounting Centre (EAC) on Energy Management provides data and

implementation. Both of working groups directly report to the executive director. The current

working group consists of personnel from various divisions, including a member of upper

management body who acts as a chairperson to engineers and representatives from human

resources and organizational development, public relations and facility management. This

combined effort makes it possible for the organization to make energy management in the most

effective way.

However, in addition to the education and the planning efforts, cooperation from polytechnic

residents (managements, lecturers, students etc.) is compulsory to achieve energy conservation

goals. Therefore, EMC and EAC group on Energy Management were formed to ensure the

implementation of the measures promoting their fullest potentials in accordance with the entire

organization’s plan such as 5s. PMM also receives the recognition as the FIRST polytechnic that




implements 5S and currently has been a benchmark to other 24 polytechnics around Malaysia.

Therefore the energy management is easier to manage since it’s also contributed to the SOP and

safety.

Figure 1: Level of Participation and Involvement of PMM residents

5.2 Top Level Management Commitment

Reducing the energy consumption and emission is an institution wide process, direct

participation and support from the top of management is critically important to ensure the project

goes effectively. Administrators such as, Mejar (K) Zolkarnain Hj Jobshi, Director of PMM and

En Mohd As’ri Bin Chik, Deputy Director of PMM is the two important persons who gave fully

commitment in developing the policy, vision and engage in the participation such as training,

workshop, giving awards etc. Figure 2 below shows our energy saving policies and objectives. It

is stated that the evaluating and revising the policies will keep on going and committee pledge to

develop energy management system not only towards effective and efficient energy usage but

also as a daily practices.This policy also been supported by the policy procedure document that

have been develop by the top energy management consists of the procedure towards energy

saving.

5.3 Short and Long Term Plans

5.3.1 Strategic Planning

As mentioned earlier, this energy saving project could not be achieved without participation and

continuous actions of officers, employees and students. Hence, the strategic planning for PMM

covers all the targeted aspect that could be explained as follow:

1. Continuous carry out Measure/benchmark for current trend or new activities for energy

consumption. PMM established a baseline against future reductions by visiting other

educational centers such as UTM (University Technology Malaysia). Some of the buildings

can be used to benchmark consumption against other buildings in PMM of a similar size,

type, and function. Once a baseline has been established, our team can continue to track the

energy consumption on an ongoing basis and quantify the savings from reduction efforts.

2. Develop an energy use profile based on current and earlier period data. An energy use

profile will demonstrate how energy is distributed among building systems (e.g., Heating,

water, lighting, office equipment, refrigeration, and so on,) as well as identify the energy

source for each system (electricity). Sub-metering is provided for discrete building systems

to further distinguish the performance of those systems and to help identify further reduction

opportunities. Breaking down energy consumption data from discrete systems allows a more

strategic approach to target improvement efforts.

3. Build teams, get leadership support, and assign dedicated resources. EMC and EAC team

with representatives from departments that share responsibility for energy planning, usage,

and management.

4. Always set targets/goals. Set both short- and long-term reduction goals for energy and

emissions reductions and integrate them into a meaningful and achievable energy

management plan. Use the data gathered during baseline-setting, energy use-profiling and

target goals will inform which performance improvement measures to implement to achieve

the goals.

5. Track, measure, and report when implement activities or projects. We begin to track our

energy reductions for several reasons: (1) to verify are they meeting the intended goal, (2) to

track cost and operational savings, (3) to monitor staff satisfaction, and (4) to report on all

successes or failures in order to inform next steps and give traction as we prepare for the next

project. Regular reports from EMC and EAC to executive director were done monthly.

Develop communication channels to keep staff and the community informed of energy saving

commitments and progress by setting up an energy saving website.

6. Continuous Training, educating, and celebrate. Effectively communicating is crucial for

energy management to ensure the achievement in this energy saving project. Continuous

training and guidance on how to implement specific strategies was carry out parallel with the

implementation of Energy Management systems in PMM.

5.4.2 Educational Training

Education and training are key agents of transformation in order to implement and sustain energy

consumption or practices in PMM. They are complementary activities which reinforce each other

to ensure the goals and objectives are achieved. We focused on explaining the concepts,

doctrines, practices and teaching procedures to the PMM staffs and students, for instance ‘energy

saving procedure for electric appliances in PMM’. Meanwhile, training and exercises focuses on

practicing and applying energy saving knowledge, which helps to understand the energy

conservation completely. List of activities can be seen in Table 6.

6.0 REPLICABILITY

6.1 Management Practices And Measures

As energy prices increase, improving energy efficiency gradually becomes an increasingly

important way for PMM to reduce operating costs. All the activities carry out in PMM are

accordingly with the Malaysian government intention to reduce the utility cost up to 5 %. In

order to share our knowledge, PMM has conducted a few activities such as seminar, course and

talk not only on energy management system but all issue related to green activities.

As mention earlier PMM is the 14th

polytechnic in Malaysia. There are another 32 polytechnics

through Malaysia under the management of The Department of Polytechnic Education, Higher

Education Section, Ministry of Education Malaysia. Therefore we become a guru for Energy

Management System for other polytechnic in Malaysia. A seminar on Energy Management

System: Implementation of management effective cost through Energy performance

Contract (EPC) on 4th

July 2013 and was attended by the representative of all polytechnics in

Malaysia including the officers in the headquarters. An order was given by the Director General

of the Department of Polytechnic Education Malaysia to the rest of the polytechnics to

follow the energy management practice in PMM.

trough Energy performance Contract (EPC) seminar

On top that PMM was taken further step in promoting green activities by establishment of PMM

Green Committee and by this committee our program rose up another area which is waste,

water, transportation management and green procurement. A few series of Green practice was

delivered to top level management directors, deputy directors, executives, lectures, staff and

students. A campaign and talk was carried out around the campus involving all the staff and

students to promote energy saving and green practices program. Furthermore, the blueprint of

green practices in PMM was copied by the Department of Polytechnic Education, Higher

Education Section, Ministry of Education Malaysia than refined and improved to be

implemented in all polytechnics across the curriculum to produce green collar job in Malaysia.

The blueprint for polytechnics Malaysia, namely POLYGreen which included ten focus area

which is changes in management and communications, climate change, environmental

management, energy management, waste management, transportation, air quality, biodiversity

and landscape and finally green procurement is going to be launch and implemented on July2014.




6.2 Technology

The Energy management system in PMM begins with energy audit trough the campus area to

study the current energy consumption and the area of improvement to reduce energy utility. Than

followed by installation and commissioning of energy come with cabinet enclosure on each

switch board at all three substation.

After that we replace existing 115 units of 250W high pressure sodium vapour bulb with 120w

induction light bulb for street lighting, followed by replacing 25 units 70W high pressure sodium

vapour bulb with 30W induction light bulb for garden and compound lighting. For office lighting

we replace existing T8 36W florescent lamp with T5 28 W with the total numbers of 7194 units,

followed by replacing 291 numbers of 18Wflorescent lamp with T5 14 W. For roofted walkway

and corridor lighting we replace 806 units of T8 36W florescent lamp with T5 18 W and

274 numbers of 18W florescent lamp with T514W.

Optimizing an air conditioning system is importance to reduce energy consumption, therefore, a

comprehensive cleaning and green refrigeration migration, followed by doing an air balancing

and re-commissioning was carry out for water cooled package unit. For existing split unit, we

replace 2 numbers of wall mounted type to 4 numbers of high efficiency inverter split unit at

MDF and PABX room. Finally replacing 2 units floor standing type air conditioning to 4

numbers of high efficiency inverter split unit at ICT server room.

PMM was used a real time remote energy monitoring system to do monitoring, analysis and

reporting. It is website that can access any ware. This Energy Monitoring System (EMS) helps

us to monitor our energy consumption systematically. Data and charts are shown in attractive

way for ease of monitoring. Information can be viewed and saved for report purposes. We can

monitor the energy consumption for every single block by installation of 16 sub-metering system

at all three substations in PMM and immediate action can be taken to rectify any problem occur

because it is a real time monitoring system.

Another aspect that can reduce energy consumption is by installation of motion sensor to detect

movement of people to activate the lamp in the certain building and space such in the toilet. The

lamp will switch on for about 15 minute and will automatically switch off.

Solar energy plays an important role towards energy sources that are renewable, durable and

environmentally friendly. PMM has taken the initiative to explore a new area of the field of

renewable energy which is Solar Energy by establishment of mini solar house as a center for

alternative energy to become a model or reference for PMM staff and other parties, such as

schools, polytechnics and other institutions of higher learning in solar energy. Originally this

mini solar house is a trash house, than we renovate to become a mini solar house where the entire

appliance inside the solar house was powered by solar energy.

A group of students and lectures from Electrical Engineering Department was successfully

converted electric powered buggy car to solar powered buggy car. This prototype of solar

powered buggy car has used around the campus.

Collaboration and close relationship between PMM and Industries and communities was

bringing good opportunity to us where we received a show house donated by Starlight Variety

Sdn. Bhd. This house was developed using fully integrated building system. This show house

also becomes a model or reference for PMM staff and other parties in integrated building system.

PMM also received a composing machine from Technology Park Corporation Sdn. Bhd..Using

the concept of waste to wealth (W2W), this machine converts food waste and other organic

wasteinto profitable end products. All the food waste from the canteen and cafeteria in PMM was

dumped into this machine and in 24 hours next day it becomes composting product.

In conclusion, Energy Management System was successfully implemented in PMM and energy

consumption was reduced by 16 % saving, thus reduce emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2).
