[Asia Economy Reporter Seungjin Lee] Pulmuone's research and development center has strengthened its ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) management by obtaining the highest grade of 'Building Energy Management System (BEMS) Installation Confirmation.'

On the 8th, Pulmuone announced that its newly constructed research and development center, Pulmuone Technology Institute, located on a standalone site in the Osong Biopolis District, Chungbuk, had acquired the 'BEMS Installation Confirmation Grade 1.' Pulmuone Technology Institute is the first in Korea to achieve Grade 1 since the BEMS criteria were revised in 2019.

'BEMS' is a cutting-edge information and communication technology (ICT) system that collects and analyzes real-time energy usage data through sensors attached to major spaces and facilities within a building, utilizing this data to reduce energy consumption and maintain a comfortable indoor environment.

The 'BEMS Installation Confirmation Certification System' was first implemented by the Korea Energy Agency in 2017. It was introduced to reduce building energy consumption and improve efficiency in line with the government's mandate for BEMS installation in public buildings.

Pulmuone Technology Institute explained that following its achievement of the Gold grade in the global eco-friendly building certification system 'LEED'?the first for a domestic food research institute?in April, obtaining the 'BEMS Installation Confirmation Grade 1' once again proves that the building is being operated as a sustainable facility.

Pulmuone Technology Institute plans to continuously improve the BEMS system by forming a task force (TF) team in collaboration with LG Electronics, which has cooperated in the design and operation of the BEMS system. The BEMS installation confirmation certification is valid for five years, after which re-certification will be pursued.

Lee Sang-yoon, head of Pulmuone Technology Institute, said, "Pulmuone Technology Institute, recognized as an eco-friendly building through LEED certification, has been acknowledged for its eco-friendly technology and capabilities extending to management and operation by obtaining BEMS Installation Confirmation Grade 1. Under the mission of being a LOHAS (Lifestyles of Health and Sustainability) company that loves people and nature together, Pulmuone will further strengthen ESG management based on the best research environment."
