| Summary: | Small and Medium size Enterprise (SMEs) are considered as a backbone of industrial development which plays a vital role in the Malaysian economy. An enterprise is considered as an SME based on the annual sales turnover or number of full time employees. Most of the researchers only focused on the company which generates higher profit annually and a few studies covered on the small industry. Particularly when dealing with very small organization, some of us might think that the organization only use small amount of energy, assuming there is nothing to reduce and did not had much potential to save. This study analyzes the potential of energy improvement at small industry focusing on Perusahaan Seri Mas. Site visit, monitoring and measuring were used to collect energy data, hence the cost calculation, energy saving and payback time will be evaluate. The replacement of T8 36W fluorescent lamp magnetic ballast and installing vertical blind will improve the lighting system, while installing Dodol Instruction Box could improve the cooking quality standard and avoid time lag with the payback time less than four years. As a conclusion, the projection done to small industries at Batu Pahat with annual energy saving is 11.646MWh and some recommendation for future works also present. |
