Business goals
This property is a Grade A office tower located in the heart of CBD. Its asset enhancement initiative introduces more features to support sustainability needs and tenant enjoyment.
Improve air-conditioning energy usage in office building
Optimise cooling across different levels for occupant comfort
Provide micro-zone control capabilities to tenants
Drive sustainability and carbon footprint reduction
Challenges
Changing from old to new
A traditional air-conditioning design that needed updating to meet the needs of a more sustainable built environment
A need to resolve hot and cold spots issues in the office, that would affect future tenants
Large areas to be managed: multiple floors, each approximately 25,000 sq feet
Solution
An intelligent cooling system for comfort and efficiency
SP Digital deployed its innovative GET™ Control solution – a self-learning building intelligence system that delivers optimal control of comfort and efficiency.
Up to 35 micro-zones per level of approximately 25,000 sq ft
Advanced algorithms and predictive analytics: uses AI and IoT to optimise and regulate air-conditioning and maximise energy efficiency based on changes in occupancy, current weather conditions and forecast data
Easy control: Central Control Units (CCU) work with smart dampers, smart nodes and sensors to monitor, manage and control the Air Conditioning and Mechanical Ventilation (ACMV) system
Dynamic data and smart responses: smart damper system divides large open-plan office spaces into micro-zones to enable better airflow distribution and control. Predictive intelligence works together with all the sensors and smart dampers, sending data wirelessly to a CCU that recommends and adjusts the dampers dynamically to achieve the desired temperatures, making the office energy efficient and comfortable
Reduced installation time and cabling costs: GET Control's range of loT equipment communicates through RF mesh, unlike traditional VAV set-ups, and does not need major tear-down or retrofitting of buildings
Quick access and quick action: Facilisight® web and mobile apps provide remote visibility of on-site conditions and can provide a quick turn-around to address ad-hoc requests such as extension of cooling hours
