Topic
Don't ask me what I want. Ask me now I feel. Enhancing tenants' comfort and satisfaction with IoT application.
How often do you attend to tenants’ complaints about office being too hot or too cold? Have you seen colleagues wearing jackets in the office during summer? Have you seen empty meeting rooms being cooled when no one is using it? As facility managers, our job is to ensure our building occupants are safe, happy and comfortable when they are in the building. Not only that, we also need to operate the asset in the most sustainable and cost-efficient manner. Unfortunately, most buildings HVAC are disconnected from the users, which results in unhappy tenants and significant wastage of energy consumption.
In this presentation, Dr. Chow will share with us an innovative IoT proptech solution known as TEP which stand for Tenant Experience Platform. This consumer-facing app enables occupants to control and personalize their office thermal comfort and lightings – all at the touch of your smart phone. In it, he will also share with us some successful cases of different building types and HVAC applications in Hong Kong and Singapore.

Topic and Abstract
A smarter solution to food waste management
Food waste management is becoming a severe urban problem globally, and in particular, in Hong Kong. One-third of all food produced ended up in landfill, and the trucks transporting food waste create more greenhouse gas emission, methane and toxic leachate to our environment. Food waste accounts for over one-third of municipal solid waste (MSW) produced daily, accounting to 3,600 tonnes and it is climbing! The ORCA food waste management device is an innovative solution to waste management – one without trucks or landfills, hyperlocal, self-sufficiently sustainable and measurable. We strive to offer this innovative technology for healthier cities and better operation efficiency to facility management.
