1. Purpose of this Malaysian Standard is to:

• encourage the design of new and existing buildings so that they may be constructed, operated and maintained in a manner that reduces the use of energy without straining the creativity, building function, nor the comfort or productivity of the occupants and with appropriate regard for cost consideration

• encourage the application of renewable energy in new and existing buildings to minimise non-renewable energy sources, pollution and energy consumption whilst maintaining comfort, health and safety of the occupants.

Introduction

2. The standard sets out only the minimum standards.

3. Recommendations for renewable energy applications are classified under the following areas:

a. maximising the availability of renewable energy resources such as solar heating, solar electricity, solar lighting and solar assisted technologies;

b. optimising passive cooling strategies;c. optimising environmental cooling through natural

means such as vegetation, site planning, landscaping and shading; and

d. maximising passive solar design.

4. The requirements for energy efficiency are classified under the following areas:

a. designing an efficient lighting systemb. minimising losses in electrical power distribution

equipmentc. designing an efficient air-conditioning and

mechanical ventilation system; andd. designing a good energy management system

Introduction cont’d

This code of practice gives guidance on the effective use of energy including the application of renewable energy in new and existing non-residential buildings.

Buildings or portions thereof whose peak design rate of electrical energy usage is less than 10 W/m2

(installed) of gross floor area for all purposes are excluded from this Standard.

A design criterion for building envelope known as

the Overall Thermal Transfer Value (OTTV) has been

adopted. The OTTV aims at achieving the design of

building envelope to reduce heat gain through the

building envelope and hence reduce the cooling

load of the air-conditioning system.

The OTTV…should not exceed 50 W / m2

The OTTV of building envelope is given by the

formula:

where A1 is the gross exterior wall area

for orientation 1;

OTTV1 is the OTTV value for

orientation 1; and

OTTV for the whole building < 50 W/m2

The calculation of OTTV does not include the

roof plane, but the thermal transmittance (Roof

U-value) of the roof construction is important.

ROOF U-VALUEMS1525:2007 Clause 5.5

U-values are worked out from the Thermal Resistance of the respective materials making up the Roof, similar to that for Walls.

ie, U = 1 / Rtotal

9.1 Energy Management System (EMS)

The Energy Management System (EMS) is a subset of the Building Automation System function. It should be considered for buildings having area greater than 4000 m2 of air- conditioned space. Generally, the Building Automation System has three functions:

a) control of equipment;

b) monitoring of equipment; and

c) integration of equipment sub-systems.

9.2 Control of equipment

The purpose of the control of equipment is to save energy.

This is performed by the EMS function of the Building Automation System.

9.3 Monitoring of equipment

The purpose of monitoring the equipment is to improve the efficiency of operations personnel by:

a) providing centralised information of current equipment conditions;

b) providing historical information of equipment conditions;

c) providing a “management by exception” function to alert the operator of any abnormal equipment conditions; and

d) providing analysis tools to aid in the study of equipment operations.

9.5 Energy consuming areas

Air conditioning and mechanical ventilation (ACMV) system

� This system is typically the largest energy consumer in the building and has the largest savings potential

Lighting system

� The lighting system is typically the second largest energy consumer in the building

Others

� Any other large energy consuming equipment such as water pump sets, electric heaters and others should be included under the EMS programme. However, it is typically not appropriate to apply an EMS to control other equipment, such as computers etc.

10.0 Building Energy Simulation Method

� The building energy simulation method is an alternative to the OTTV & RTTV

� This section requires a building energy simulation of 2 buildings.

� The first building as per design, called the design building.

� The second building is a fictional base case building called the base building.

� The base building shall be as functional as the design building and shall share the all the same characteristic of the design building with the exception to the following:

a) building form;b) building envelope; andc) daylighting & lighting control.
