AIT's energy consumption higher in first half of 2006 than 2005

Compared to the first half of 2005, energy consumption throughout AIT in the first half of 2006 is higher by 5 percent, or 1.08 million baht. January – June 2005 consumption was 19.84 million baht, which rose to 20.92 million baht during the same period this year.

There was an increasing trend in the consumption of the 10 biggest energy users in the first six months of this year. The highest was in February and in March when consumption soared by 14 percent and 22 percent, respectively. The sudden decline in energy use in April 2006 could be due to the several power interruptions that occurred that month. It could also be attributed to the low use of electrical facilities because of the semester break. Consumption began to pick up again in May and June, which is slightly higher than in 2005.
