Monitor the present electricity usage
Optimize the best fitting energy mix by using Homer legacy software

Objectives

To determine and identify energy consumption in university
To investigate energy efficient measures to cater the demand and possibility of energy savings
To develop a plan to have the best fitting energy mix for Department of Mechanical Engineering with sustainability- a case study

Environment & Sustainability

Environmental sustainability is about making responsible decisions that will reduce your business' negative impact on the environment. It is not simply about reducing the amount of waste you produce or using less energy, but is concerned with developing processes that will lead to businesses becoming completely sustainable in the future.
