ABSTRACT
The maritime industry is increasingly focusing on energy efficiency and reducing environmental impact. This research project analyzes energy audits conducted in ship accommodation spaces to identify inefficiencies and propose improvement strategies. The study examines the Davids Rhema tugboat and highlights its air conditioning system as a significant energy consumer, using 93.9 kWh daily. It acknowledges the unique energy dynamics on the Davids Rhema tugboat from the absence of heating elements and reliance on natural ventilation. Conducting energy audits in ship living spaces is crucial for optimizing energy usage, improving onboard living conditions, and minimizing environmental impacts. The study recognizes challenges like limited technology availability and access restrictions during audits, calling for future exploration and innovative solutions. The maritime industry must recommendations can lead to environmentally.
