INGENIEUR 1. MINISTRY OF WORKS COMPLEX Building Description The KKR Complex building is located at Jalan Tun Ismail, Kuala Lumpur. The building, which was completed in 1996, serves as a Federal Administration Office for the Ministry of Works Malaysia (KKR). The building has three building blocks, namely Block A (6 floors), Block B (14 floors) and Block C (3 storeys). The whole area is as follows: - Total area of the building Blocks A-C: 41,843 m 2 - Spacious air-conditioned area in Blocks A-C: 33,322 m 2 Data Collection  The data from all blocks in the complex was collected from June 10-17, 2015. The overall Index of energy consumption for the building is shown in Table 1:- Referring to Figure 1, the Building Energy Intensity (BEI) of K KR Complex in 2014 was 12% higher when compared with the average for office buildings in Malaysia. However, we believe that NO 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 KKR Complex has the potential to achieve energy- efficient office building BEI if the saving measures proposed in this report are implemented. The breakdown of the overall energy consumption of the buildings in Figure 2 shows the highest percentage (70.8%) was consumed by the air-conditioning and ventilation systems and the second highest (22.6%) was the internal lighting followed by office equipment and domestic uses (4.3%) and the elevators (1.2%). Energy balance analysis was conducted to ascertain and confirm the current consumption rate of electricity during the audit by using a power logger installed on the meter and making comparisons with TNB’s electricity bill. The average energy consumption of electricity per month based on TNB’s electricity bill in the year 2014, was 597,058 kWh. According to the Energy Audit data bill, the difference in energy usage data is 7,743.64 kWh monthly. This low 1.3% difference indicates that the data obtained during the audit is reasonable and acceptable (See Table 2).
