Transforming Asia’s Future with Smart Building Technology and Sustainable Expectations

Tuesday, 30/08/2022 09:00 (GTM +7)

Combining automation and IoT in intelligent building technology, especially in managing energy consumption levels, is an excellent starting point for Asia’s revolution towards a more sustainable future.

Sustainable development is an inevitable trend globally, as evidenced by the many environmental protection initiatives implemented in many countries. Especially in Asia, a region home to about 60% of the world’s population, every step towards reducing pollution is valuable.

Controlling greenhouse gas emissions through efficient energy consumption and transitioning to renewable forms through intelligent buildings is a prominent solution for green development. Let’s explore with ITI Fund the benefits this technology brings towards a sustainable future for Asia.

Security, Analytics, and Utility Automation

At commercial buildings, energy is often consumed the most during peak hours. The larger the scale, the more complex it is to manage HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) systems, which also have many diverse spaces for different purposes.

However, by integrating control systems and analysis platforms, commercial buildings can manage energy consumption more efficiently:

Security cameras provide input data on the frequency, quantity, and time of use of each space in the building.
From there, the analysis tool generates trend charts for each space, clearly identifying high and low energy consumption areas.
Based on this information, the HVAC management system automatically deploys services and utilities according to space usage.

Service Automation

According to a study by Report Linker, the market value of building automation systems is expected to reach $148.6 billion by the end of 2027, with a compound annual growth rate of 11.4%. This demonstrates the effectiveness and focus of managers in optimizing energy use through this feature.

The integration of automated management systems with building services can be done through the following:

System control activation mechanism: adjusting the energy consumption of the building according to the usage capacity, based on access card data to access any space, integrating HVAC and other utilities for automation, increasing or decreasing energy usage levels.
Event management mechanism: for example, if a commercial building hosts a conference, meeting, or seminar for two weeks, the resource control software can collect data from the energy consumption history, then plan the building’s service usage effectively

Building Management by IoT

The Internet of Things, or IoT, is an intelligent analysis feature of space usage through integrating access devices, sensors, and security on a single platform. When these devices transfer data to the building management system, the platform will provide trends, models, and complete control over the deployment of services on them.

One of the main benefits of activating the Internet of Things (IoT) with an intelligent building management system is real-time access to high-quality, detailed information, allowing businesses to plan for efficient energy consumption. In addition, the building management system can automatically learn from previous analyses and improve after each deployment.

Poor energy consumption control has a significant impact on global greenhouse gas emissions. Deploying automation, IoT, and analysis technology in energy management in smart buildings is a great start to the revolution for a cleaner future.
