Abstract

The study used energy audit to determine where, when, why and how electrical energy is being used in selected bank buildings in Zaria.

The information was used to identify opportunities to improve efficiency, decrease energy cost and reduce greenhouse gas emissions that contribute to climate change. The study employed both primary and secondary sources of data.

Questionnaires were the instruments of the primary data collection while information from manufacturers’ manuals, catalogues and maintenance records of the banks constituted the secondary data.

The findings indicated that the average electrical energy consumption and cost for the four (4) bank buildings are 7,412.26 kWh/month and N63,004.14/month before retrofitting.

The actual energy consumed (estimated wattage Rating on nameplate of appliances/equipment) was also calculated and compared to the consumed energy using One-way ANOVA.

It was concluded that energy usage in the bank buildings involved much wastage especially in the area of lighting, cooling and plug loads. An energy efficiency programme which covers lighting, cooling and the plug loads was recommended.

Introduction

1.1 Background of the Study

Energy conservation is a process by which the energy required to provide services within residential, institutional and commercial buildings is reduced to a minimum, while achieving the required standard of service delivery.

The architectural features of two buildings can be the same but their power/energy usage can never be the same (Thumann, 2006).

This is the case with all building types including commercial building. Commercial buildings in Nigeria include shops, banks, restaurants, hotels, office buildings etc. (DOE, 2010). The commercial buildings may be of bungalow, low, medium or high-rise design.

Energy is used in commercial buildings for space conditioning, lighting, equipment operation (computers, photocopying machines, Internet Browsing, fax machines etc.), operation of lift/escalators, water heating, cooking, etc.

The energy used in this building sub-sector is mostly electricity with small amount of petroleum products such as LPG and kerosene, which are used for cooking in hotels and restaurants.

Some quantities of petrol and diesel however, are also used for electricity generation in the Sub- sector due to persistent failures of public utilities power supply in Nigeria.
