KFM Holdings (Kemuncak Facilities Management Sdn. Bhd.) \u201cKFM is a solution provider for Green Smart and Connected built environment. We manage approximately 10 million square feet of GFA of assets worth about 1 Billion USD. KFM operates from<\/p>\n

offices in Kuala Lumpur, Abu Dhabi, and Dubai,\u201d says Khairol Nizam ABD Muen, Director of Business Development at KFM Holdings.\u201d Our strength is premised on the integration capabilities in operational expertise, technical knowledge, and\u00a0technology which are manifested by<\/p>\n

\"Malaysia <\/p>\n

our people, process and systems,\u201d he adds.<\/p>\n

Existing buildings waste energy <\/strong><\/h3>\n

Today, buildings worldwide account for more than 40% of global energy consumption<\/a>. Never before has the need for an environment of high-performance buildings become as critical to the effort of the planet\u2019s carbon footprint reduction. The solution is to adopt high-performance green building concept and design for new and existing buildings.<\/p>\n

KFM recently undertook the development of the Prime Minister\u2019s Office (Perdana Putra Complex) High-Performance Green Building Project as a benchmark to encourage more businesses in Malaysia to achieve greater heights in energy efficiency. “Our vision is to establish that this new project, as well as existing government or public buildings, can be transformed into energy efficient buildings,\u201d said Mr. Muen.<\/p>\n

Targeting 40% energy savings<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The mission of the project was to achieve greater energy efficiency and increase the building\u2019s overall asset performance. In order for the Prime Minister\u2019s Office project to meet the Green Building Index (GBI) requirements to be certified\u00a0platinum status<\/a>, KFM needed a system solution that can improve energy efficiency, indoor environmental quality, sustainable site planning, management, material and resources, water efficiency and innovation.<\/p>\n

In order to help reach their target of 40% in energy savings, KFM decided that this Prime Minister\u2019s Office (PMO) building retrofit project should be supported by Schneider Electric\u2019s Building Management System (BMS)<\/a>. \u201cWith Schneider\u2019s building technology software as another element of KFM\u2019s energy management solutions and services, we have the confidence to make fact-based decisions for improving energy use, operational efficiency, comfort, and financial performance throughout their building’s life cycle,\u201d said Mr. Muen.<\/p>\n

Good data a key to savings\u00a0 \u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n

While some are passionate about saving energy in buildings, they often lack the critical information needed to convert their intentions into action without seasoned experts like Schneider Electric\u2019s team. \u201cWorking with Schneider Electric, we are streamlining the energy savings process. This new generation of technologies automates the delivery of valuable building information to ensure services and repairs are focused on the right issues,” said Mr. Muen.<\/p>\n

The success of the retrofitting project for the Prime Minister\u2019s Office will cement its position as the largest retrofitting project for government buildings in Asia. It is estimated that the Prime Minister\u2019s Office (PMO) retrofitting project can save up to RM2 million energy savings
per annum.<\/p>\n

Achieving nationwide building management<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\u201cIn an effort to help Malaysia meet its Copenhagen promise to reduce 40% carbon emissions by 2020, it is imperative for the business community to start adopting solutions such as Schneider Electric\u2019s Building Management System (BMS) to improve overall business performance,\u201d added Mr. Muen.<\/p>\n

Efficiency makes sense for everything from the wallet to the environment. Efficiency measures can be accomplished quickly; they are relatively easy and are measured in real results. Buildings need efficiency, and Schneider Electric has everything necessary to provide it. In the end, sustainable and green BMS is predicated on integration capabilities, operational expertise, technical knowledge and the right technology manifested by people, process and systems.<\/p>\n
