 Modified existing installations to reduce building facilities power supply consumption  Reduced operation time for lighting and air- conditioning system; timer-controlled  Switched to energy saving lighting Building Energy Saving Programme

Lower building energy consumption  RM800,000 less electricity used per year

Building Energy Saving Programme – Main Workshop

 Trains are switched off during stabling  As much driving as possible in coasting mode  Brake early, with not more that 40% braking force  Use the electrical regenerative brake  Traction effort not more than 80% Train Operations Energy Saving

Lower energy cost per trip – 5.3% reduction  RM487,000 less electricity used per year

Note : kWh increased after introduction of speed restrictions & additional train trips

 Introduced environmental friendly train washing system  70-90% less chemicals, water & electricity used  Looking into rain water collection from building roofs Train Washing Plant
