Smart energy initiatives to save costs
In early March 2018, Fima Corporation Berhad started looking for
ways to reduce energy costs and amplify the energy efficiency
of its Plaza Damansara office building in Kuala Lumpur whilst
simultaneously reduce its carbon emissions. For this purpose, the
Engineering Services Department was assigned to undertake a
major energy assessment of the building.
The Engineering team conducted a study to determine
the building’s potential for a solar PV system taking into
consideration the building’s energy requirements, roof structure
and capacity as well as the returns on investment. After
considering various options it was concluded that a 185.06
kWp PV system would be the best fit for the building. 532 solar
PV panels comprising 350 watt and 335 watt were installed in
phases at building’s rooftop, providing over 15% of the building’s
annual energy requirements.
The team, alongside their colleagues from the Property
Management Department, had also designed and implemented
a range of other energy saving solutions for the building. These
included replacing fluorescent strips with LED lighting and HVAC
maintenance and optimisation.
