Singapore, 8 November 2022 – Addressing an 80-strong crowd, Bill Lee, Azendian’s Founder & MD presented From Smart to AI in the Built Environment – digitalisation and applying AI in the Built Environment at a joint seminar with Singapore Green Building Council and Keppel Infrastructure Holdings Pte Ltd held on 8 November 2022.

At the over-subscribed seminar, #SGBC members learnt about the innovations and technology towards achieving a low carbon, sustainable future alongside an overview of the strategies employed in Keppel Infrastructure@Changi, which achieved the Green Mark Platinum Positive Energy (GM:2021) accolade in July 2022. As Keppel Infrastructure’s Technology Partner, Azendian elaborated on how its Unified Platform enables real-time data capture to support fault/false detection and predictive maintenance and how a digital twin enables #ACMV equipment to operate optimally with zero human intervention and achieve unparalleled savings and productivity through Machine Learning and Data Driven AI solutions.

Undoubtedly, the “ta-dah” moment of the event was the reveal of Keppel’s Operations Nerve Centre and the tour following where participants had a peek into how Keppel Infrastructure harnesses advanced digital and machine learning technologies for real-time monitoring and energy optimisation of its operations across Singapore and beyond.

Singapore, 13 October 2022 – Azendian Management and its team at Changi extend their heartiest congratulations to Keppel Infrastructure Holdings Pte Ltd as it opens the Keppel Infrastructure @ Changi building, Singapore’s first Green Mark Platinum Positive Energy building under the new and more stringent Green Mark scheme. Azendian is privileged to be Keppel Infrastructure’s Technology Partner, where its Azendian Estate solution with its AI and Machine Learning capabilities also contributed to the energy optimisation and efficiency. The Azendian Solution pulls in data real-time to facilitate monitoring and surveillance and enable fault/false detection and predictive maintenance, while the close loop AI-driven HVAC energy optimisation ensures maximum efficiency.

Keppel Infrastructure @ Changi houses KI’s operations nerve centre, which harnesses advanced digital and machine learning technologies to provide real-time surveillance of KI’s operations across Singapore, around the clock, starting with its district cooling plants.

Ms Cindy Lim, CEO of Keppel Infrastructure, said at the opening, “More than just a green building, Keppel Infrastructure @ Changi serves as a mission critical operation nerve centre for four district cooling plants operated by Keppel DHCS across Singapore. Keppel Infrastructure @ Changi enables us to showcase our Energy-as-a-Service offering and how we are able to harness digital technology, artificial intelligence and IoT for remote operations, predictive maintenance and performance optimisation to enhance the efficiency and reliability of our energy assets and services.”

Ms Lim added, “We would like to thank our partners and stakeholders including the Building and Construction Authority and National Parks Board for their invaluable support in making Keppel Infrastructure @ Changi a success. Over time, we plan to extend the nerve centre’s coverage to our other water, waste treatment and energy plants in Singapore, and then to our operations overseas.”
