ABSTRACT
This project presents the energy consumption and ACMV (air- conditioning
and mechanical ventilation) system of the FKM building. ACMV refers to the
equipment, distribution network, and terminals that provide either collectively or
individually the mechanical ventilating or air conditioning process to a building. The
main objectives of this study are to investigate the relationship between building
energy consumption and ACMV system and evaluate the building ACMV system
performance through physical measurement. Improvement methods in ACMV
system is later being proposed to reduce building energy consumption. This study is
also tend to provide a baseline estimate of current energy use which can be used for
calculation of the energy saving impact of various options for reducing energy usage.
In doing this project, physical measurement is being conducted involving air
velocity, temperature and air change rate. Window area and the building wall area
measured to obtain the OTTV (Overall Thermal Transfer Value). The lower OTTV
value is better for a building. Included proposals to reduce energy consumption and
reduce the OTTV in this report. The analysis conducted consists of building cooling
loads, energy saving estimates and costing for the building.

INTRODUCTION
1.0 BACKGROUND
The project tries to find ways on reducing the energy consumption of the
ACMV (air- conditioning and mechanical ventilation) system of the FKM building.
Air Conditioning is the control of the humidity of air by either increasing or
decreasing its moisture content. Added to the control of the humidity is the control
of temperature by either heating or cooling the air, the purification of the air by
washing or filtering the air and the control of the air motion and ventilation.
Ventilation refers to the process of supplying and removing air by natural or
mechanical means to and from any space, Such air may or may not be conditioned.
Building energy standards or codes are becoming more and more important in
energy efficiency policies [1]. These standards can help raise concern and awareness
of building energy conservation, promote energy efficient designs in buildings,
encourage the development of energy efficient building products, and form a basis
for assessing building energy performance and developing energy efficiency
programmers [2]. Many countries in the world are now developing or upgrading their
building energy standards in order to achieve the energy efficiency goals.
In response to broad concerns regarding the environment and climate change,
Green Buildings are becoming much more common and are increasingly in demand
by building owners and occupiers [3]. As a result, they are featuring more
prominently in the portfolios of most building developers, architects and engineering
consultants. The current green trends are quickly becoming the new standard.

1.1 OBJECTIVES
The objectives of this study are:
i. To reduce OTTV (Overall Thermal Transfer Value) of FKM building and
complying requirement of MS (Malaysia Standard) 1525.
ii. To propose methods on ACMV system maintenance and operation that
can reduce building energy consumption.
iii. To estimate saving energy consumption for FKM building by calculate
cooling load.
1.2 SCOPES OF PROJECT
The scopes of this study are:
i. Building load calculation including OTTV (overall thermal transfer
value).
ii. Practical measurements involving temperature, humidity and air change
rate.
iii. Standard guidelines of procedures for building maintenance based on the
study.

1.3 PROBLEMS STATEMENT AND SOLUTIONS
One of the biggest energy consumption for a non-residential building is the
AMCV system. Any saving made on the energy consumption at this system will
give significant impact to the cost of running and maintaining the
building. Critical analysis and study need to be conducted on which component
of the total ACMV system uses the highest energy and innovation and critical
thinking is required on how to reduce these consumptions. Present OTTV value
need to be determined and new expected OTTV value need to be projected in
order to bring about the saving into the system. These are the solution for this
problem:
i. Redesign the building properties especially the window and the walls.
ii. Research and find types of air conditioner and the systems of ACMV.
iii. Determine cooling load.
iv. Conduct the measurements including the OTTV, present energy
consumption by the ACMV and temperature mapping.
v. Propose Energy estimates, costing and saving.

system relates on GBI (green building index).
ACMV represent Air-conditioning and mechanical ventilation systems. It
fills the fundamental principles and systems in a manner that is technically accurate,
yet of practical use in the real working world [4]. Today‘s really, which mandates
time and cost effectiveness in ACMV work, dictates this principles approach. By

2.1 AIR- CONDITIONING AND MECHANICAL VENTILATION
(ACMV) SYSTEM
ACMV stands for air conditioning and mechanical ventilation and refers to
the equipment, distribution network and terminals used either collectively or
individually to provide fresh filtered air, heating, cooling and humidity control in a
building.
A facility can have any combination of heat operated (absorption) and
cooling mode to supply the ACMV system. For heating a facility, a gas-or oil-fired
boiler or furnace, heat pump, rooftop unit, new technology such as infrared radiation,
or electric heat could be employed. Common cooling sources include rooftop units,
chillers, heat pumps, air conditioner or some sort of off-peak cooling system.
For the purpose of this part, ‗ACMV system‘ is considered to be of three
basic types:
a. Central air- distribution systems
In this type, either ACMV system equipment or an engineered and
field-assembled combination of ACMV system components, receives
recirculated room air (plus outside air as required) from a central duct
system, performs the required ventilating or air-conditioning functions, and
delivers the conditioned air to the central duct system, for final delivery to the
conditioned space of the building.
b. Central circulating water systems
In this type, a centrifugal, rotary, screw, scroll or reciprocating,
compression refrigeration or absorption refrigeration type water-chilling
package provides chilled water to a central piping system; and the piping
system supplies cooled water, as required, to water-air heat exchangers
(terminal units) serving the conditioned space of the building. The water
chilling package, including its heat-rejecting element and the terminal unit
are considered to be ACMV system components.
6
c. Multiple units systems
In this type, a number of units of ACMV Equipment, each receiving a
supply of electric energy, perform the functions of cooling air for distribution
to a space or zone of the building.
2.1.1 Air- Conditioning
Air conditioning is treating air for temperature, cleanliness and humidity, and
directing its distribution to meet requirements of a conditioned space. Comfort air
conditioning is when the primary function of the system is to provide comfort to
occupants of the conditioned space. The term industrial air conditioning is used
when the primary function is other than comfort.
There are three basic types of air conditioners:
a. Direct expansion coolers include window air conditioners, heat pumps and
packaged or rooftop units. Air is cooled and dehumidified as it moves past a
cold, refrigerant-filled coil.
b. Chilled water systems use water cooled by a refrigeration machine instead of
air. This cool water supplies a coil, which cools and dehumidifies the air.
c. Evaporative (or ―swamp‖) coolers are usually only appropriate in hot, dry
climates and bring hot air in contact with a water spray or damp surface. The
result is evaporation of moisture, which lowers the temperature of the air.
7
2.1.2 Mechanical Ventilation
Ventilation is a process that either supplies or removes air from a space by
natural or mechanical means. All air that is exhausted from a building must be
replaced by outside air. Outside air must be brought to a certain temperature by
makeup air units used throughout the building. Negative building pressure can be a
problem during winter heating season and could lead to a number of other problems
such as difficulty in opening doors and equipment operation. Air seeps through gaps
around windows, doors and ducts. Equations are available to estimate makeup air
heating costs in the Guide to Industrial Assessments for Pollution Prevention and
Energy Efficiency, referenced at the end of this document
Air is distributed through ducts. Units such as a window air conditioner,
distribute air directly from the unit. Other units using baseboards or radiators may
deliver heat through water, steam or electric resistance systems. Blowers and
registers deliver air in forced air systems.
2.2 GREEN BUILDING
A Green building focuses on increasing the efficiency of resource use –
energy, water, and materials – while reducing building impact on human health and
the environment during the building‘s lifecycle, through better sitting, design,
construction, operation, maintenance, and removal. Green Buildings should be
designed and operated to reduce the overall impact of the built environment on its
surroundings. These are the important about green building:
a. Green buildings are designed to save energy and resources, recycle materials
and minimise the emission of toxic substances throughout its life cycle.
b. Green buildings harmonise with the local climate, traditions, culture and the
surrounding environment.
c. Green buildings are able to sustain and improve the quality of human life
whilst maintaining the capacity of the ecosystem at local and global levels.
