In recent years, energy management and efficiency in building became important concern in our country. Various technology and systems in energy management and efficiency aspect have been established in order to fulfill the needs for efficient energy and towards lower carbon footprint. However, energy management in multi-tenant building like apartment and other high-rise building seen less effective in energy management. Currently, most of this building management conduct energy management manually without any efficient control system in order to monitor and control energy consumption for optimal efficiency. Energy consumption by tenants is directly impact to overall building consumption but the building management cannot see the pattern of the tenant’s consumption. As a result, the energy consumption and efficiency cannot be managed by the building management efficiently. Thus, this research will study about the potential of smart energy management system, system design and its implementation in multi-tenant building as on effort to control and increase energy efficiency as well as its potential economic impact. Finding, result and solutions based on the developed model of the smart energy management system are also being discussed as to establish a clear picture on potential economic impact from the application of smart energy management system into multi-tenant building.
