Overview
Knight Frank’s Bangkok office sought to enhance energy efficiency while ensuring consistent thermal comfort for employees. The building’s air conditioning and mechanical ventilation (ACMV) systems were resulting in high energy costs and inconsistent comfort levels across the workspace.
Challenges
- High Chilled Water Usage: Excessive cooling resulted in unnecessary energy consumption.
- Inconsistent Thermal Comfort: Some office areas were overcooled, while others remained warmer than ideal.
- Manual Adjustments: Operational inefficiencies arose due to the manual control of HVAC settings.
- Energy Inefficiency: The system ran at full capacity, regardless of occupancy levels.
Resync’s Smart Solution
Resync implemented a data-driven energy management solution, leveraging AI and IoT technology to optimize HVAC operations.
- Digitalization of HVAC System
- All AHUs were connected to a centralized control system.
- Smart algorithms dynamically adjusted chilled water valve openings based on real-time occupancy and environmental conditions.
- AI-Based Control
- AI-driven optimization ensured the system only consumed energy when needed.
- Cooling was dynamically adjusted based on occupancy data derived from CO2 levels.
- Occupant-Centric Strategy
- Indoor temperature and humidity levels were managed to enhance employee comfort.
- Energy efficiency was balanced with indoor air quality (IAQ) to maintain an optimal working environment.
Key Results
- Improved Thermal Comfort
- PMV (Predicted Mean Vote) maintained within ASHRAE Standard 55-2020 comfort range (-0.5 to +0.5).
- Average temperature stabilized at 22.5°C with 74% relative humidity.
- Better Indoor Air Quality
- Average indoor CO2 levels maintained at 659 ppm (below the 800 ppm threshold).
Conclusion
Resync’s AI-powered Smart Building Solution successfully optimized energy usage at The 9th Tower, significantly reducing chilled water consumption while maintaining a comfortable and well-ventilated workspace. The project highlights the potential for further energy savings through refined CO2 level management.
