In early March 2018, Fima Corporation Berhad started looking

for ways to reduce energy costs and amplify the energy

efficiency of its Plaza Damansara office building in Kuala

Lumpur whilst simultaneously reduce its carbon emissions.

For this purpose, the Engineering Services Department was

assigned to undertake a major energy assessment of the

building.

The Engineering team conducted a study to determine

the building’s potential for a solar PV system taking into

consideration the building’s energy requirements, roof

structure and capacity as well as the returns on investment.

After considering various options it was concluded that

a 185.06 kWp PV system would be the best fit for the

building. 532 solar photovoltaic (PV) panels comprising 350

watt and 335 watt were installed in 2 phases at building’s

rooftop, providing over 15% of the building’s annual energy

requirements. In the initial phase, 76 panels were installed

whilst installation of the remaining 456 solar PV panels were

completed in February 2019.

The team, alongside their colleagues from the Property

Management Department, had also designed and

implemented a range of other energy-saving solutions for the

building. These included replacing fluorescent strips with LED

lighting and HVAC maintenance and optimisation.
