[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Heung-soon] KT announced on the 18th that it has achieved a 10% heating energy savings effect by implementing an AI-based 'Optimal Control Solution for Heating and Cooling Facilities' at the large shopping mall Save Zone in Seo-gu, Daejeon, in collaboration with Siemens Korea.

The Optimal Control Solution for Heating and Cooling Facilities is an energy-saving technology that integrates KT's intelligent control algorithm 'Robo Operator' with Siemens Korea's building automation system.

Robo Operator automatically controls the heating and cooling facilities by finding the optimal operation timing and setting values based on accumulated data, instead of the conventional method of turning the facilities on and off relying on the building operator's experience.

KT explained, "Typical building automation systems provide various control functions, but due to a lack of training and on-site experts, they are not fully utilized and only follow the system's initial settings." They added, "By using the Optimal Control Solution for Heating and Cooling Facilities, customers using building automation systems can more easily maximize energy savings."

Starting this month, the solution will also be applied during cooling operations at Save Zone in Seo-gu, Daejeon. Han Ja-kyung, Executive Director of KT's Industry AI Platform TF, said, "It is meaningful that the solution created through the collaboration of KT's AI technology and a global building automation system company can provide practical benefits to customers." He added, "We plan to continuously discover services for industrial fields such as smart factories utilizing AI, including future-oriented building management."
