Subject: Progress Report (from Sept 9 - Sept 20, 2013): Practice of DSM (Demand Side Management) for Commercial Building (Female Hostel UniKL BMI)
Introduction:
The purpose of this project is to research the energy management plan and suggest the alternative solution to saving the energy and cut the expenses on electricity bill.
Work Completed from Sept 9 to Sept 20 2013:
During this period, I finished the first section of the report, which discusses the objectives of the project, background and also problem statement. The section on objectives is about the ways to save the energy and make a recommendation to BMI to cut the expenses on electricity bills. On problem statement section, fluorescent tube lamp be the issues. This because fluorescent requires 36Watt per bulb (4 ft.) but LED lamp tube requires 18Watt with the same lumen rate.This is causes the high electricity usage. In addition, the lighting for Female Hostel (corridor and toilet) is working within 24 hours.
Work to be Completed by Sept 23, 2013:
Next, I need to finish the section on scope and limitation and making corrections for first section. This will be completed by October 3, 2013. A section on the meaning/function of DSM for energy saving plan will also need to be completed, but it will only be a few paragraphs due to the lack of information available. I will then write the conclusion and management implications for the final paper. The entire project should be completed by the third week of Nov 2013.
Problems Encountered:
During the research of the wattage of fluorescent requirement, I have problems to confirm the value of watt that the lamp require. There a few value but it is not really accurate. I have to travel to electrical shop to find the real fluorescent and record the wattage. However the project is still on schedule and will proceed as how the project was planned.
Conclusion:
My research project is on schedule and I should encounter no problems finishing it by Sept 23, 2013. If you have any questions or concerns with this project, please feel free to email me at ruhidayu.mohdyusof90@gmail.com
