Resource Data Management Asia has deployed a wireless solution utilizing sensors and gateway to address the challenges faced by the client. The solution works in tandem with the energy management system (EMS) implemented by Resource Data Management Asia to optimize energy consumption and maximize occupant comfort. Moreover, RDM has also developed a Unity-based 3D Digital Twin to highlight energy consumption, room occupancy, and internal air quality in the building.
The RDM EMS provides a comprehensive platform for monitoring, controlling, and optimizing energy usage in various facilities. It integrates advanced technology to collect and analyze data from multiple sources, such as HVAC systems, lighting, and equipment. For this project, digital power meters collect critical energy data and wired through RDM's PLC controller. The data is sent to RDM's control and monitoring system front-end, DMTouch, where algorithms and data analytics are used to identify patterns, anomalies, and areas for improvement. It provides users with insights into energy usage patterns, equipment performance, and potential efficiency gains.
As for room occupancy and internal air quality metrics, Milesight LoRaWAN® solutions are utilized. With Milesight Semi-industrial LoRaWAN® Gateway UG65, all environmental data collected by sensors can be transformed and presented on the EMS dashboard for facility managers to better understand and improve management. Building managers have access to real-time data on motion, humidity, TVOC, temperature, CO2, and more, which collected by AM107 7-in-1 IAQ Sensor, WS202 LoRaWAN® PIR & Light Sensor, EM300-TH Temperature and Humidity Sensor and EM500-CO2 Outdoor CO2 Sensor.
With the help of this information, HVAC systems and lighting systems can be intelligently controlled. For example, when the indoor air quality reaches a threshold (shown as red on the dashboard), the HVAC system can be adjusted in time to improve ventilation with the help of IoT controller UC100. In addition, lights can be turned off if no motion is detected in the meeting room.
