Presentation Title
Auditing Energy Usage of Plug Load by Measuring At Existing Offices in Singapore
Abstract
It presented the actual energy usage of plug loads in existing offices at NTU. Plug load of each typical office was recorded and miscellaneous electrical consumption of plug load for each office was identified. The energy auditing results revealed that actual peak plug load intensity was below the reference value for general office from BCA. A new value was proposed. Meanwhile, some practical measures such as power management improvement, high efficient equipment replacing, smart sensors installation, and occupant behaviours improvement to reduce consumption of plug load in offices were also presented.
