"Carbon Reduction Brain" realizes smart office
"Green, high-tech and sustainable" is the development concept that Midea Group has been advocating. Green and low-carbon is also fully reflected in the 08 space.
With the strategy of "Internet of Things + Big Data", 08 Space realizes energy-saving management and intelligent control of buildings through advanced scientific and technological means and management concepts such as Internet technology, artificial intelligence analysis, face recognition technology, and BIM. Multiple systems such as smart access, smart security, smart parking, smart visitors, smart office, smart operation and maintenance, smart lighting, and smart meeting rooms can all realize project management and operation on the iBUILDING platform.
For example, the three-story underground parking lot of 08 space, with nearly 2,000 parking spaces, can display the status of regional parking spaces and the remaining parking spaces in real time with traffic lights through the iBUILDING platform with entrance and exit management subsystems, parking space detectors and other equipment, and can also query the parking location on the system when leaving; The elevator system equipped with "turnstile linkage technology" can automatically dispatch elevators, so that employees who enter face recognition can achieve non-inductive passage; Relying on cutting-edge technologies such as IoT, AI, and big data, the conference system can automatically control air conditioning and lighting, and realize dynamic control through personnel status detection to reduce conference energy consumption......
According to the data, the 08 space, which carries Midea's high-efficiency computer room solution, has an energy-saving rate of 28% compared with the traditional design scheme, saving more than 1 million KWh of electricity annually.
