Commercial and residential buildings have been contributing the most towards energy-related greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions worldwide. They account for almost 30 per cent of the global energy consumption. Luckily, the building sector also possesses the ability to cut down the consumption rates in the most effective ways and thereby bring down the terrible consequences of climate change. Environmentally responsible and resource-efficient building structures can also benefit the residents or workers by improving their health and quality of life. Green building science regulates building processes through each phase of their lifecycle, starting with planning, designing, and construction, until demolition.
Smart Facility Management
The facility management system incorporates advanced digital technology and tools like IoT sensors, artificial intelligence, real-time monitoring, predictive analysis, condition-based monitoring, resource optimization, controlling excess energy consumption, etc., into the traditional system and increases efficiency. This is often known as smart facility management.
Major Components of a Smart Facility System
Energy Optimisation
These days, smart cloud platforms in charge of management and monitoring of energy utilization provide a clear-cut idea of the confirmed and verified energy consumption of any building. The total amount of energy utilized as well as the total amount of energy lost can be identified with the help of energy monitoring systems. This can also estimate the exact value of energy losses in the nearby premises of the buildings. In addition to this, continuous monitoring enables adequate thermal comfort and flow of energy in the building. This helps in cost savings as well as moving towards greener operations.
HVAC Optimization
An automated HVAC system delivers energy-efficient cooling and heating for buildings as per their needs. An HVAC system in a smart facility management ecosystem automatically starts early in the morning and cools the buildings with no human intervention. Enconyx’s smart systems can cut down energy costs by cooling or heating the buildings according to previous occupancy data. System inputs like gas, electricity, and water, along with system outputs such as heating, cooling, or air and water flow, are measured in real-time for operating the systems.
Demand Management
The energy requirements for utilities need to be recognized before they are needed for different applications, to avoid excess demand or less supply. Using too much energy at inappropriate times can cause a hike in demand charges. So, understanding the current energy demand is very much essential for reliable utility management. Enconyx’s seamless data collection takes data from these observations that can be used to predict grid operations and reduce energy demand.
Enconyx promotes highly customisable data platforms capable of digitally transforming your facility management system, with smart AI-driven insights. We employ automated real-time monitoring sensors, HVAC systems, video-based edge analytics, integrate renewables and high-level security systems to manage operations and maintenance, that improve and transform the structural standards altogether.
