摘要：AbstractConsumer behaviour is one of the most important issues with respect to energy consumption rather than technical measurement. It is a parameter to measure the energy demand within the environment. Within the scope, researchers mainly focus on the household environment with little attention given to higher education institutions (HEIs). The main problems in HEIs are their student who s the main contributor of waste. It s also found that unclear target from the management of reducing energy waste and practice for the students is the main reasons on why energy saving behaviour difficult to establish in universities. Hence, knowledge of energy consumption behaviour among the students requires to be assessed. This research proposes to analyse energy consumption behaviour patterns through students energy demand; and develop a model that could estimate the potential saving and future energy demands in HEIs. Combination of qualitative, quantitative and experimentation method were proposes as suitable approach on assessing the energy consumption behaviour in HEIs environment. This research proposal expected to contribute to the analysis, methodology and design a model of energy behaviour consumption pattern in Malaysian HEIs. This will help in understanding of people's behaviour and react against energy use, and as an energy demand benchmark to the HEIs.
