Energy consumption and intensity at building construction industry
Number of industries that used energy is increasing every year and one of it is construction industry. Construction industry is a major consumer of non-renewable resources and a massive producer of waste. Based on the research at develop country, 30 to 40% of natural resources were exploited by c...

| description |
Number of industries that used energy is increasing every year and one of it is
construction industry. Construction industry is a major consumer of non-renewable
resources and a massive producer of waste. Based on the research at develop country,
30 to 40% of natural resources were exploited by construction industry which are 50%
of energy will be used for heating and cooling the building. The objective of this
research is to know on how to control the energy consumption and intensity at
construction industry. “For this research, it will focus on the specification of the project
site based on contract sum, location and environment of the project. The case study for
this research was cover by several high-rise building construction industry. Selected
data have been taken from the case study which are manpower of the contractor, energy
used for each equipment, number of plant machinery to be used and work program of
the project completion. All the data given have been analyst and the result have been
tabulated based on their total floor area. Technically, construction can be divided into
six stage which are initial construction stage, coordination stage, implementation
stage, critical stage, testing and commissioning stage and handover stage. Based on
the result, it can come out the six step on to overcome energy intensity in Building
Construction Industry which are, to are conduct material or tool inspection before enter
the site, conduct monthly inspection for all plant machinery, to upgrade temporary
work system, to start stage 5 (which is Testing and Commissioning) early, to install
the individual meter for every machinery and equipment and to install BAS system.
At the end of the research, a new method to measure Energy Consumption Guideline
for Building Construction Industry have been established. Two main components for
this guideline are type of activity to be conduct and energy per floor area. As a result,
stage 5 which are Testing and Commissioning Stage is the highest energy demand
compare to others stage. The contractor needs to control the energy usage and make
sure it not more than 1.2 kWh/sqft |
