Abstract

Electrical energy is one of the most important energy used by the system. Since electricity requires processes in order to be used, it contributes to one of the highest monthly expenditures paid by the system.Also, the raw materials in making electricity can be considered to have a higher monetary value to its insufficient or enough supply worldwide. Because of these alarming factors, including environmental factors, different organizations and the government started to find ways on how they can conserve or better, be more efficient in using electricity within their premises. As a government institution, University of the philippines Los Baños should adapt different efficient ways on using electricity, as the basis of the study done on Electrical Engineering Building. In order to have a basis for the improvement of the efficiency of the system, it is very important to gather data about the electrical energy consumption of the building, way of usage of the system and different other factors affecting the efficiency of the system such as number of people, number of electrical loadings and usage of extension wires. Area inspection and interview are the best tools in gathering these data. After gathering data, the data were analyzed using the non-parametric calculation method. Data Envelopment Analysis. This calculation was done in order to approximate the efficiency of the system and to know how much percentage can the system be improved when used in more efficient way. After analyzing the data, it had found out that the building is about 93.065% efficient relative to the most efficient system. It can be also noted that by energy efficiency program, the system can be improved of about 6.935%. Since this number is a great help in conserving and minimizing the use of electricity without sacrificing the quality of service, energy efficiency programs are listed based on the observation made on the data gathering part of the study.
