Featured refurbishment & renovations projects
 

Replacement of conventional lighting to LED

• Challenge: Due to unreliable public power supply, the bank relies on diesel driven generators to safeguard operations. With the exponential rise in diesel prices as well as the high costs of the limited public power supply, the client requested an energy saving solution.

• Solution: Julius Berger Facility Management replaced the conventional suspended ceiling light fittings with LED light panels. The solution considered the optimal hue of light colour and luminous required in an office working environment to enhance the workplace experience. Comparatively, an energy saving of 43% was achieved in the switching the conventional indoor panels to LED light panels. Meanwhile a savings of almost 400% was achieved with a further replacement of external floodlights to an LED solution. In addition, long lifespan, low voltage operations requiring almost zero maintenance contribute additional mid-to-long-term benefits.

Replacement of water faucets

• Challenge: Shortly prior to the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, the bank identified a gross over-usage of water, mainly driven by human laxity. The client requested a solution that would help to responsibly reduce water consumption and wastage, with a further request to consider contactless use as recommended by the World Health Organization, in view of the pandemic.
• Solution: Julius Berger Facility Management is replacing all faucets throughout the building with sensor-operated faucets with adjustable water control. The touchless technology could be operated via motion to activate water flow – with a set interval of time and automatic shut. The solution was hygiene-friendly as it could be operated without a physical contact, and effective as the pre-set water flow led users to wash their hands more expeditiously. As a result, water consumption in the building dropped considerably and hygienic standards were increased.
