ST Engineering’s Urban Solutions business has unveiled AGIL Smart Energy Building, a suite of smart energy solutions designed to facilitate a whole-building approach to energy optimization. The platform integrates various technologies, including IoT, artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning, and automation to achieve total energy savings of up to 25%. AGIL Smart Energy Building focuses on building decarbonization by offering solutions for cooling, energy recovery, lighting, building automation, and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions tracking.
The suite’s modular and scalable design ensures easy integration into both brownfield and greenfield spaces, providing a cost-effective and efficient solution for building owners. It enables a quick return on investment and can be scaled to cover multiple buildings within an estate or township, significantly aggregating energy savings.
“Today, many building owners face challenges in making their buildings more energy efficient because of the limitations or fragmentation of their existing subsystems. Applying our expertise in sensors, AI and sustainable cooling technology, we have developed a revolutionary approach to optimise energy use in buildings that harnesses energy savings from all sources. In particular, AGIL Smart Energy Building targets building cooling – a major source of electricity consumption – and delivers a more targeted and effective response to real-time cooling needs,” said Gareth Tang, Head of Smart Utilities and Infrastructure and Urban Solutions, ST Engineering.
Key Components of AGIL Smart Energy Building:
- Smart HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning): Unifies disparate HVAC equipment on a single platform, leveraging sensors for real-time building occupancy and cooling operations. AI and external weather data help accurately measure and predict building heat load, allowing for more effective responses to real-time cooling demand.
- AI Airflow: Employs smart airflow adjustments powered by AI and sensors to ensure precise and even cooling distribution across the building. Real-time data on workspace environments and thermal comfort enable energy-efficient responses, minimizing overcooling in unused areas.
- Energy Recovery: Utilizes ST Engineering’s patented REEVAC Deep Cooling technology to recover residual cold energy from exhaust air. This energy is used to pre-cool incoming fresh air without refrigerants or compressors, reducing energy consumption by up to 30% compared to conventional systems.
- Smart Lighting: Implements demand-based soft dimming and AI-based anticipatory lighting to achieve up to 50% energy savings.
- Carbon Monitoring: Provides round-the-clock monitoring of building operational data with energy usage analysis. An ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) dashboard tracks key metrics and GHG emissions in real-time, facilitating reporting.
