Nowadays, people are more concerned about energy efficiency, energy consumption and conservations in buildings. With this in view, a project to investigate the potential of energy saving in selected building in Putrajaya Maritime Centre was carried out. The scope of the study includes identifying energy consumption in a selected building, to study energy saving opportunities, and to analyse cost investment in term of economic. As a public building and a recreation centre, these building should take the initiative to protect the environment towards green building. According to the research and analysis, several solutions are proposed to help reduce energy consumption and energy cost in the Maritime Centre. First, by improving physical properties of building components. Second, by changing the air condition temperature control setting. This paper also discuss about the improvement of lighting system efficient. From the data analysis, it has been found that huge amount of energy can be saved for a better green environment.
