Abstract Due to increasing problem of depletion of traditional fossil fuel such as coal and petroleum alongside of effort to contral Carbon Dioxide gas emission, need of alternative energy becomes top priority. Amongst many alternative energy solutions, Piezoelectric energy harvesting system, transforming wasted kinetic energy such as pressure and vibration to electronic energy, became top research. Unfortunately, only research regarding battery efficiency in Piezoelectric energy harvesting system is widely conducted on. There are hardly any research regarding system installation in structure yet. Thus, this paper is conducted by Piezoelectric energy harvesting system and monitoring system installed in university building's hallway and stairs with 50 of two different types of gender subjects. With gathered data from different accumulation of energy between modules, video analysis with footprint distribution ratio of subjects, this paper presents analysed data of different accumulation of electricity with differentiation of module install location along with aspect of accumulation of electricity. Also, this paper predicted the amount of generation of electricity in the same area through analysis of electricity accumulation based on distance between modules.
