Managing Energy Consumption through a Computerized Decision Supporting System

Abstract

Energy management of any building must satisfy flexible needs in its carrying on business. Analysis of possible alternatives to support such operating flexibility is critically necessary. Some analytical results are now being applied in order to establish an efficient building management at the head quarter of Siam Commercial Bank (SCB). Its mechanical, electrical and sanitary systems are considered as one of the largest and most sophisticated units in Asean countries. A computerized supporting model has been developed with a Visual Basic program. This model provides alternatives satisfying both energy saving and business demanding. Based on these alternatives management teams are able to operate the building under simultaneous constraints and subtle variables.
