BEIT 1.1

BEIT (Building Energy Intensity Tool) is a software tool meant to assess energy use in buildings and has been developed by the Association of Consulting Engineers Malaysia (ACEM). This software tool allows easy OTTV and RTTV calculations, and to make quick and reliable predictions of energy savings that can be achieved for various new design and retrofit measures. BEIT is developed specifically for use under the equatorial climatic conditions found in Malaysia. BEIT makes comparison between two (2) building scenarios, the baseline building and the proposed building. The baseline building represents the building as it is (or as currently designed), while the proposed building is the same building to be retrofitted (or to be enhanced in design).
