S-1 said on the 5th that as cooling demand rises in summer and aging equipment increases building energy expense burdens, its building energy solution is drawing attention as an efficient building management alternative.
S-1's building energy management system (BEMS) collects and analyzes energy use and equipment operation data in real time through sensors installed throughout buildings. It monitors the operating status of cooling and heating, lighting, and ventilation systems around the clock, and sends alerts to managers when it detects usage patterns that differ from usual or signs of equipment abnormalities.
In particular, it learns each building's energy use patterns and proposes optimal operation plans. It analyzes time periods when power use concentrates or when cooling efficiency declines, helping adjust equipment operating hours, temperatures, lighting, and ventilation methods. When necessary, the system directly controls equipment to help cut energy use.
It also includes ESG management support features. Based on energy use, it automatically calculates greenhouse gas emissions, enabling corporations to use the data for ESG report preparation and carbon emissions management. In addition, the IoT-based smart building management system uses temperature and water level sensors installed in machine rooms and pipe rooms to detect signs of leaks or flooding and immediately alert the control center and managers.
An increase in aging buildings is also driving demand for building energy solutions. According to the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, 44% of buildings in Korea are aging structures completed more than 30 years ago. These buildings are prone to reduced cooling efficiency due to deteriorating insulation performance and aging equipment, and it is difficult for managers to identify energy waste or equipment accidents in advance.
S-1 sees data-driven building management solutions as a way to improve building operation efficiency in summer, when energy expense and the burden of equipment accidents rise at the same time.
