[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Hye-seon] KT Estate, a real estate specialist company under the KT Group, announced on the 24th that it has become the first in Korea to receive the Grade 1 certification for cloud-based BEMS (Building Energy Management System) from the Korea Energy Agency.

KT Estate has been operating a cloud BEMS in the future-oriented AI Tower ‘KT Songpa Building,’ a hotel, office, and retail complex that opened in September last year, and announced on the 24th that it received the Grade 1 certification after the final evaluation on the 15th.

The BEMS certification was introduced by the Korea Energy Agency in 2017 in accordance with the mandatory installation regulations for BEMS in public buildings. Until now, only seven buildings nationwide have received Grade 1 certification. KT Songpa Building became the eighth building nationwide to receive the certification and the first in Korea to be certified using the cloud method.

The cloud BEMS provided by KT Estate differs from most existing building management systems, which leave system operation to the customer after installation. Instead, BEMS is installed on the KT cloud and operated by building management experts, resulting in reduced installation costs and systematic data analysis and management compared to existing products. Based on artificial intelligence (AI) and big data, it provides remote energy management services, reducing maintenance costs. The Grade 1 certification of KT Songpa Building proves that KT Estate’s AI DX (digital transformation)-based building control platform is an optimized building management platform for eco-friendly building certification, encompassing energy savings and carbon emission reduction.
