Study Notes
Energy Efficiency
- Energy efficiency is using less energy to provide the same services without compromising comfort, safety, and quality.
- It is not the same as energy saving, although energy efficiency can lead to energy saving.
Identifying Energy-Wasting Situations
- Watching TV with the lights off
- Using air conditioning at a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius
- Reading using a table lamp
- Letting the light be on in the morning
Load Apportioning
- Television, Vacuum, Satellite Dish, and Decoder: 0.5% - 1.7%
- Iron and Others: 0.9% - 1.1%
- Fan: 4.4%
- Lighting: 5.1%
- Air Conditioner: 39.8%
- Refrigerator: 21.4%
- Centralized Water Heater: 23.7%
Energy Saving Benefits
- Economical Factor: reduces electricity bills and operating costs, increasing profits
- Non-Economical Factor: reduces the impact on the environment, controlling/reducing the greenhouse effect, and maintaining sustainability of energy resources for future generations
Impact of Fossil Fuel Use
- Electricity generation in Malaysia is highly dependent on fossil fuels, which emit carbon dioxide (CO2) and contribute to global warming
- Increased energy efficiency can control/reduce the greenhouse effect and maintain sustainability of energy resources for future generations

- Saving: RM 48.30/month, RM 241.50/month for 5 units
Impact of Water Dispenser
- Active Mode: 8687 Wh, RM 0.00
- Passive Mode: 993 Wh, RM 17.00
Impact of Lamp (Incandescent vs LED)
- Incandescent Lamp: 100 W, RM 5.48/month, RM 109.60/month for 20 units
- LED Lamp: 9 W, RM 1.23/month, RM 24.60/month for 20 units
- Saving: RM 85.00/month
SAVE 4.0 Program
- A program that grants a maximum of RM400 e-rebate to domestic households that purchase energy-efficient air conditioners and refrigerators with 4-star or 5-star energy efficiency labels from the Energy Commission (ST) in 2021
- Objectives: increase the total number of 5-star and 4-star energy-efficient electrical appliances and energy-efficient appliances in the market, and increase public awareness to encourage them to buy energy-efficient appliances that will save consumer's electricity consumption
- Implementation period: 1 year from December 2023 to December 2024
Empowering Customer Energy Usage
