Abstract
The building power systems often are exposed to losses due to inefficiencies arising from various sub- systems. The major sub-system within a building includes electrical, mechanical, and plumbing. Although less common for small and medium sized buildings, there is large process equipment when supporting manufacturing or small operations within. One such example is when a building is operating to support systems for the ventilation power and controls for large outdoor enclosed spaces such as roadway and railroad tunnels. The problem statement here is to solve the issues related to inefficient lighting and power systems for a building by eliminating the losses from either poorly design and installed power distribution, lack of maintenance, or need to address practices in building energy management systems. The research dives into exploring the power systems in a typical building and then explores viable solutions when reviewing some of the energy standards, practices in maintenance and installation of the equipment. However, the emphasisis not to reviewthe standards and recommend the changes. The paper will recommend improvements based on currently installed systems in lighting and power by utilizing current energy management systems which integrates renewable energy and zero emission systems. A typical power system designed to address energy efficiency and power resiliency was developed after addressing some processes and methods to operate commercial buildings using a controller operating at stringent requirements.
