THE STUDIED OF ENERGY CONSUMPTION AND ENERGY SAVING IN THATPHANOM COLLEGE NAKHON PHANOM UNIVERSITY

Abstract

The study of energy consumption and energy saving guideline in 

Thatphanom College, Nakhon Phanom University Intended to study energy consumption data, energy consumption ratio; find energy saving guidelines; and evaluate energy saving potential in Thatphanom College. The researchers conducted a survey and measured energy consumption, then evaluated the energy saving potential. The results of the study reveal that there were
3 potential measures consisted of: turning off the air conditioner 1 hour before leaving from work which would save the energy of about 26,537 kWh/year or the  value of  130,561 baht/year; air conditioning efficiency improvement measures by cleaning air conditioners which would save energy of about 41,010 kWh/year or the value of about 201,770 baht/year with the payback period of 0.11 years; measures of replacing light bulbs from 36 W fluorescent lamp to 18 W LED bulbs which would save the energy of about 6,801 kWh/year or the value of about 33,459 baht/year with the payback period of about 1.89 years.
