i-City has announced a partnership with China Mobile (CMIM) to build Malaysia’s first smart green building at the technology city.
In a statement, the company said the corporate tower will be equipped with 5G internet enabled cameras and sensors to monitor the environment, energy consumption and human traffic flow for data gathering purposes.
i-City director Monica Ong said with the artificial intelligence (AI) technology incorporated into the building fabric, energy used to power lights, air conditioning and other electrical equipment can be tuned automatically based on the weather and number of people inside the building.
“Conversely, resource planning for security and cleanliness too can be managed more effectively and adding that with sufficient data gathered, machines connected to the building will be able to identify and highlight to the building management peak hours and number of cleaners and security personnel required ahead of time with the capability of AI.
“This will improve sustainability and building tenant experience which is the key priority and at the same time placing emphasis to the sustainability and environmentally of our smart city,” she said.
Ong said with the rollout of 5G this year, i-City will be working on numerous AI enhancements to ensure that the ultrapolis maintains its position as Malaysia’s first and most progressive smart city.
CMIM enterprise director Jackie Chen Jiang Long said that the tech solution provider is heartened by i-City’s commitment in optimising the use of AI in environmental conservation.
“We look forward to working with i-City to continuously develop innovative ICT-based solutions to help save energy and reduce carbon footprints in order to protect the environmental ecosystem,” he said.
