According to Energy, Water and Communications Minister Datuk Seri Dr Lim Keng Yaik, as far as energy-conserving efforts are concerned, Malaysia was at least 15 to 20 years backwards compared to countries like Japan.
The ministry has chosen seven high-energy consumption government buildings for the audit – the Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs Ministry, Finance Ministry, Economic Planning Unit, Immigration Department, Hospital Selayang, University Malaya Medical Centre and KL Hospital.
The audit will be the stepping stone in making government building more energy efficient.
I wonder what will they do. Will they be an Energy Star Partner? Or launch something like ECO (Energy Conservation and Outreach) which is what I'm working on right now at U of M Utilities and Plant Engineering Energy Management .
Hopefully, it's not just audit that they are planning to do. After the audit, it would be nice if they do the necessary adjustments, to make the buildings more energy efficient. (not like "hangat-hangat tahi ayam" kinda project)
