摘要

在这些现代时代,电力是主要的能源形式之一,主要被消耗,而且全球人口不断增加,对电力的需求也很高,塞拉利昂也不例外。由于高需求竞争公用事业的低发电能力,负责发电和供电的塞拉利昂政府行政部门的能源部无法满足这种需求。进行这项研究的目的,是要了解如何透过能源审计程序,提高市民对能源效益措施重要性的认识,从而为应付高电力需求提供解决方案。本研究采用定量数据分析方法。采用120份结构化问卷收集数据。从结果分析来看,受访者一致认为,塞拉利昂首都弗里敦周围建筑的节能措施将减少电力消耗。此外,答复者同意对弗里敦市周围的建筑物进行能源审计将有助于发现这些建筑物的电力浪费情况。根据研究,建议建筑业主在建筑施工期间安装节能设备。大学/学院应该强制所有进入他们机构的学生学习能源,政策制定者必须向政府建议减少进口到塞拉利昂的所有节能电气产品的关税。

Need for Energy Efficiency and Energy Audit of Buildings in Freetown
In these modern times electricity is one of the major forms of energy that is mostly consumed and is also in high demand by the increasing global population in to which Sierra Leone is not an exception. As a result of the high demand competing for the low generation capacity of the utilities, the Ministry of Energy of the Sierra Leone Government administration, charged with the responsibility of generating and supplying electricity, is unable to meet this demand. The rationale of carrying out this research is to see how raising awareness levels on the significance of energy efficiency practices, as a recommendation through an energy audit process, would help bring a solution to how to meet the high electricity demand.A quantitative data analysis method was used in this research. 120 structured questionnaires were used in collecting data. From the results analysis, respondents agreed that energy efficiency practices in buildings around Freetown, capital o0f Sierra Leone, would reduce electricity consumption. Furthermore, respondents agreed that an energy audit in buildings around the city of Freetown would help in detecting electricity wastage in these buildings.From the research it is recommended that building owners installed energy efficient equipment during the construction of their buildings. Universities/colleges should make energy studies compulsory for all students entering their institutions, policy makers must recommend to government the reduction of custom duties on all energy efficient electrical products imported into Sierra Leone.
