During the movement control order (MCO), most of the citizen stay at home. Thus, it increased electricity consumption tremendously. The uncontrolled consumption of electricity happened when a lack of awareness among residents to practice home energy efficiency. Due to that reason, this study presents a real case of the MCO electricity energy waste during the early MCO stage. In contrast, sustainable home energy management with 5Core procedures was introduced to overcome the issue. The method

Through the proposed process, energy consumption has significantly reduced while avoiding the spike of the electricity bill during the post-MCO of Pandemic COVID-19. The sustainability of the post MCO for the energy consumption among residential could contribute to the low CO2 emission while securing the factor of the costeffectiveness for the electricity bill. It is hoped that the proposed method will be the guideline for the consumers to manage the consumption of the electricity, where the combination of the human factor will be the advantages.
