Selected as a Digital Service Provider by the Ministry of Science and ICT
First in Building Energy/Safety Management Services
Energy Experts Provide BEMS System Operation Support

KT Group's comprehensive real estate company KT Estate announced on the 26th that it has been selected as a 'Digital Service - Convergence Service' provider through its self-developed Smart Integrated Control Service. This service is part of the Ministry of Science and ICT's initiative to simplify administrative procedures, allowing public institutions to adopt cloud services quickly through negotiated contracts or catalog contracts instead of competitive bidding. Service registration is possible after evaluation by experts from the Ministry of Science and ICT and related government departments.

The Smart Integrated Control Service is an intelligent control platform and cloud-based BEMS service developed by KT Estate. BEMS (Building Energy Management System) refers to a building energy management system. KT Estate is the first to register such a service. It monitors key building facilities and enables remote control through algorithmic analysis. Currently, it remotely manages approximately 450 buildings nationwide. The Korea Energy Agency has granted the first cloud-based BEMS Grade 1 certification in Korea.

The selected Smart Integrated Control Service consists of ▲ a ‘Stable Type’ that prevents building safety accidents, ▲ a ‘Comprehensive Type’ that prevents safety accidents and induces energy savings, and ▲ a ‘Certified Type’ that obtains BEMS certification aligned with Zero Energy Building certification. Until now, public institutions faced difficulties in appointing experts to operate BEMS even after installation, resulting in underutilization of the system. By adopting the Smart Integrated Control Service, energy experts support BEMS system operation, enabling substantial energy and carbon reduction. Additionally, rapid incident detection and dual safety monitoring at the integrated control center help prevent safety accidents. Furthermore, through the remote video monitoring solution (AvatarFM), real-time site conditions are assessed, allowing experts in various fields (architecture, electrical, facilities, fire safety, etc.) to provide customized solutions for customers.

Im Chae-hwan, Executive Director of KT Estate’s ICT Real Estate Headquarters, stated, “With this selection as a digital service provider, we will introduce smart building management services to public institutions and participate in the government’s ESG policies.” He added, “In line with the government’s recent trend of strengthening legal and institutional foundations related to carbon neutrality and green growth, we will take the lead in the ‘national greenhouse gas reduction targets’ through this service.”
