- To manage all building data and assets in one single centralized location.
- To assist numerous stakeholders from DWTC with real-time monitoring and helping in optimizing operational performance.
DWTC One Central Vision: To achieve the UAE's 'Net Zero goal by 2050
DWTC One Central is committed to aid the government’s efforts in consolidating the foundations for a low-carbon economy and achieving the UAE's 'Net Zero by 2050' vision. To align with this goal, One Central has chosen Facilio's IoT-led Connected Buildings solution.
DWTC Challenge:
Inaccessibility to access real-time insights due to the lack of
a Centralized system across portfolio.
Building operators' challenges in achieving energy efficiency
and meeting sustainability goals can be attributed to a lack of
a centralized system and siloed processes at DWTC. Specifically,
DWTC lacks a powerful data processing platform that can
effectively visualize data and uncover actionable insights. This
has hindered efforts to improve energy efficiency and meet
sustainability goals.
Without a Centralized Digitization Platform, there was
- Increased penalties due to chilled water temperature exceeding regulatory standards.
- No visibility/control to meet sustainability goals and high energy consumption across the portfolio.
- Lack of insights to take proactive real-time measures to resolve downtime and energy anomalies.
To meet these complex needs and future-proof their operations, DWTC One Central Place needed a centralized property management solution powered by Internet of Things (IoT) and artificial intelligence (AI).
Facilio's Solution:
End-to-end digital transformation using IoT for portfolio energy
programs
Facilio's end-to-end digital transformation solution enables
DWTC to streamline its building management processes and
optimize its overall building operations. By leveraging the
power of IoT, Facilio acts as a one-stop shop for DWTC to
optimize their energy programs across their entire portfolio of
buildings, enabling them to achieve operational efficiency,
sustainability, and enhanced occupant experience.
DWTC has adopted two levels of Facilio's decarbonization journey to accomplish their net zero goals.
Level 1
- Utility Bill Tracking
- Portfolio Benchmarking
Level 2
- Delta T Monitoring
- Analytics & Dashboard
- FDD
Here are the solution highlights:
Reduced penalty oversight with Delta T monitoring
Facilio ensures DWTC complies with regulations, optimizes energy usage, and maintains a comfortable and healthy indoor environment for tenants. This is done through trend analysis, tracking asset run hours, and consumption of every tenant in the building.
Eg: Real-time dashboards to monitor delta T and compare with minimum threshold values to avoid penalties.
Energy-conscious operations through granular energy usage visibility
Facilio presents an overall picture of the building's
performance by scoring and benchmarking buildings based on EUI.
Low-performing buildings were identified to deploy energy-saving
measures.
Additionally, Facilio provides various dashboards like energy
score, kWh and RTH consumption, etc., to drill down and analyze
the breakdown of energy consumption on an hourly/monthly/weekly
basis and understand the project impact in terms of energy cost
and associated carbon emissions.
Optimized asset functions with FDD
Facilio's FDD module enables DWTC to continuously monitor the performance of individual assets and alert/notify DWTC facility personnel of energy spikes. Facilio enables condition-based maintenance by automatically converting critical/priority BMS alarms to assigned work orders that keep performance under desired control.
Impact
- Fast-tracked journey to net zero operations with increased control and accountability over portfolio energy consumption.
- Eliminated unwarranted penalty with a granular hold of chiller delT compliance.
- Improved equipment performance and reduced risk of equipment failure.
- Improved tenant satisfaction via rapid fault remediation with accurate error reports.
- Increased operational efficiency due to reduced customer escalations and man hours.
- Discovered 8% energy wastage within 3 weeks post implementation
