dc.description.abstractThis Master's Degree Project outlines the unprecedented economic growth in the Asia Pacific region and its corresponding impact on electricity consumption and energy related environmental issues. The importance of Demand Side Management (DSM) as a means to minimize electricity consumption and mitigate the associated environmental consequences is emphasized. The Malaysian domestic sector is the focal point of the research. DSM instruments, which have been used successfully in other parts of the world, are assessed for their suitability for application in the Malaysian domestic sector. A participatory approach is used to solicit the views of all key stakeholders who would be affected by the actions that are proposed. The nation's development goals, Malaysian citizens' values and the economic, environmental and social oenefits of DSM are considered in the analysis. Based on this analysis, guidelines for implementing DSM in the Malaysian domestic sector are presented. Recognizing that constraints exist that will affect the timing of implementation of DSM in the Malaysian domestic sector a four phased DSM programme is proposed. In addition, institutional responsibilities and an implementation schedule are detailed. DSM instruments, which complement the dynamic economic growth experienced in Malaysia, are recommend for implementation. The timely and strategic introduction of domestic sector DSM is encouraged in order to ensure that Malaysia's current "window of opportunity" is capitalized upon. The overall goal of this planning endeavour is to assist Malaysia in fostering a position as a leader in economic development and a promoter of sustainable development.en
