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) / HVAC 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, and enabling energy savings and carbon reduction
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
