Abstract :

Global warming is a growing issue today due to the concerns of carbon emissions to the environment. Meanwhile, learning institutions such as university could play a significant role in promoting energy conservation and sustainable campus operations. The objective of this paper is to highlight the performance of smart lighting control system for restrooms where the project has been carried out at the Faculty of Electronic Engineering Technology, Universiti Malaysia Perlis. The methodology processes include the initial study and field measurement of the energy consumption for lighting system during pre-retrofit condition, design, and development of the lighting control system and lastly analysis of the designed system in post-retrofit condition after installation. On the overall, 58 motion sensors have been installed at 30 restrooms where the result shows that in average 77.5% of reduction in energy consumption per day for each restroom. This situation has given tremendous benefits to the university operation where the university could save 9377 kWh per year and reduced RM 3423 from electricity bill per annum. In addition, this project also contributes to the environmental sustainability where the amount of electrical energy that has been successfully reduced is equivalent to 6508 kg of CO2 avoidance to the environment.

Keywords : Energy conservation, Energy efficiency, Lighting control system, Retrofitting, Sustainable campus.
