This study presents potential energy savings, life cycle cost analysis and payback period for lighting systems in Bangunan Ilmuan UiTM Bukit Besi. According to the results of a questionnaire survey, almost 90% of the lighting systems on the Bangunan Ilmuan UiTM Bukit Besi are made up of fluorescent lights. From the perspective of potential energy savings, cost-benefit analysis, life cycle cost analysis and payback period were conducted to convert to a more efficient lighting system. Therefore, lighting systems must be designed to be suitable to achieve the desired level of lighting while using minimal power. Lighting accounts for up to a third of power consumption in office buildings. The rational use of electricity in buildings is a very important and relevant topic, especially if excessive use, where energy is increasingly expensive, can cause climate change through high emissions of greenhousegases.
