Successful cases

By the end of this year, the real-time electrical and mechanical (E&M) data of about 400 major government buildings in Hong Kong will be connected to the EMSD's Regional Digital Control Centre (RDCC). The Central Government Offices at Tamar and Legislative Council Complex were the first to complete the connection in June. The connection of the operation data of the core Government offices at Tamar with the iBMS is of great significance, as it is a clear manifestation of the Government’s support for innovation technology and the safe and open data application. This would also set a positive and encouraging example for other government departments and private organisations.

Apart from enabling remote real-time monitoring of the operating status of E&M equipment, the E&M digitisation also provides immediate optimisation of energy efficiency. At present, the EMSD artificial intelligence (AI) innovation team is using data collected to conduct testing on several AI models, opening a new chapter on the application of E&M big data, with a view to enhancing the impetus for the future development of Hong Kong.
