Bachelor of Electrical and Electronics Engineering students from SEGi University recently visited the Energy Commission Diamond Building in Putrajaya to learn about sustainable building concepts. The 36 students and 8 lecturers who attended were exposed to the building’s four main aspects of sustainable design: energy efficiency, water efficiency, indoor environmental quality, and outdoor environmental quality.
Delegates were shown the building’s iconic diamond-shaped dome, which was designed to meet the expected daylight and energy performance. Furthermore, the building is designed with a BEI of 85kWh/m2 per year at 2,800 hours usage – a 65% reduction in energy consumption. The building’s average BEI is currently 65kWh/m2 per year.
