Amidst the intensifying competition in the commercial real estate market, particularly with the growth of office buildings and mixed-use projects that come with new standards for technology and sustainability, older buildings are facing significant challenges in enhancing their potential to maintain competitiveness.

LIV-24 Co., Ltd., a provider of comprehensive Smart Tech solutions, has launched the “Hybrid BAS” (Building Automation System), an innovative management system for modern buildings that shifts the traditional upgrade approach from "demolish and rebuild" to the concept of "cost-effective enhancement of existing systems."

A New Upgrade Option: Modernization Without Demolition or High Investment

The BAS system is considered the heart of building management, controlling and managing various essential systems centrally, including air conditioning, electrical systems, lighting, elevators, and building engineering. It directly impacts energy efficiency and user experience. However, many buildings that have been using BAS for a long time often face limitations due to outdated technology, both in terms of software that does not support new updates and hard-to-find spare parts. As a result, when certain parts of the system encounter issues, building owners are forced to invest in a complete system overhaul, which can cost tens of millions of baht. Alternatively, if only specific parts are replaced, they may face connectivity issues with the existing system, especially when dealing with technology of different standards, leading to fragmented data that cannot be utilized effectively.

The “Hybrid BAS” from LIV-24 is designed to overcome these limitations by utilizing IoT technology to connect legacy systems to a new platform, allowing for centralized management once again without the need for complete system demolition, thereby reducing infrastructure investment costs (CAPEX) by up to 50%.

Reducing Downtime and Enhancing Real-Time Management Efficiency

Another significant feature is that the system can connect to LIV-24's Command Centre, enabling real-time monitoring of building system statuses. When abnormalities occur, the system immediately sends alerts to personnel for prompt corrective action 24/7, helping to reduce downtime and the risk of building disruptions. Additionally, the installation process is quick and does not impact the operations of tenants or building users, unlike traditional system replacements that may require demolition, structural drilling, create dust, noise, or necessitate closing off certain areas.

Elevating Buildings to New Standards, Meeting the Needs of the ESG Era

From an investment perspective and in attracting tenants, buildings that can upgrade to Smart Building status and demonstrate energy efficiency will have a competitive advantage, especially among large organizations and international tenants who prioritize environmental and sustainability standards (ESG). The Hybrid BAS is not just a tool for building management; it is a way to enhance the potential of existing buildings to "grow" within the new urban context and become Smart Buildings. By effectively connecting data and various systems, building owners can not only see current usage patterns but also leverage the data to forecast and plan for future developments that meet user needs continuously.
