Basement Car Park, Mixed-Use Development

Occupancy-linked lighting and CO ventilation

Aisles dim to a safe standby level and lift to full on detection, while extract fans stage against CO rather than running flat out. One of the fastest paybacks in any building because the load runs all day.

ORPHANED SYSTEMS RECOVERED

75+

The Building You Inherited, Brought Back Under Control

Most buildings we take over were installed by someone who is no longer contactable. Open standard means you are never stuck: the system can be read, documented and returned to you.

Orphaned Systems Recovered

We read the live bus, rebuild the ETS project and group addresses, and document what is actually installed.

Running Cost Made Visible

Sub-metered energy per floor, tenant and system, with reports your management can act on.

Contracted Response

Preventive visits, bus health checks, offsite backups and an agreed response time instead of an emergency search.

Phased Replacement

End-of-life devices swapped block by block against budget, never a rip-and-replace year.

WHAT YOU RECEIVE FROM US

  • Bus health and system condition audit
  • Recovered and re-documented ETS project
  • Energy baseline and monthly reporting
  • Maintenance contract with response SLA
  • Phased capital replacement plan
  • Operator training for your building team

Fixed-Scope Packages in Every Sector

Published prices for the six scopes we are asked for most often, across homes, office floors, warehouses and lecture theatres. Each one is the full engineering standard at a smaller scale, and each one extends later without replacing what is already on the bus.

A shoplot café that had to keep trading through the whole install

RM58,300 George Town, Penang

A Shoplot Café That Had to Keep Trading Through the Whole Install

A conservation-area shoplot: café on the ground floor, a small studio let above, and an operator who could not afford to close for a single lunch service. The brief was ambience the staff could not get wrong, plus an end to the standing argument about who forgot to switch off the signage.

What the People Who Signed Off the Work Say

“They took over an orphaned system, recovered the programming and now hold our maintenance contract. Faults that used to take days close the same day.”
Chong Kah WaiFacilities manager, KL office tower
“The energy report showed exactly which floors were burning power after hours. That single finding paid for the first year of the contract.”
Melissa TanOperations lead, multi-tenant office
“Floor by floor, with the hotel still trading. Vacant-room set-back showed up on the bill by the second month.”
Lim Sze YingGeneral manager, boutique hotel
“Reliable, low maintenance, and when I message on a Sunday the person replying is the engineer who built it.”
Dr Liew Poh SanSpecialist clinic, Penang

Commercial Questions

Do you install hotel guest-room management systems (GRMS)?

Yes. Welcome, sleep and vacant modes per room, energy set-back when the key card leaves, room status to the front desk and housekeeping, and lobby, ballroom and F&B scenes on the same bus. Hotels are rolled out floor by floor so the property keeps trading throughout.

Do you offer maintenance contracts with an SLA for buildings?

Yes - scheduled servicing, bus health checks, ETS backups, firmware reviews and guaranteed response times by tier (next business day on Bronze, within 8 hours on Silver, under 4 hours with 24/7 emergency cover on Gold).

Can the system give me analytics and reports for management decisions?

Yes. KNX with a visualisation/energy server provides dashboards, energy and occupancy trends, sub-metered cost allocation, anomaly insights and exportable reports to support operations and capital decisions.

Can KNX integrate with our existing BMS via BACnet/Modbus?

Yes - certified BACnet/IP and Modbus TCP/RTU gateways let KNX work alongside or feed an existing supervisory BMS, so you integrate rather than rip-and-replace.

How does KNX help us hit MS 1525 and green-building credits on a submission?

MS 1525 asks for lighting zoning, daylight and occupancy control, and metering. KNX delivers all of it natively and, more usefully, logs it - so what you claimed at design stage can be evidenced with real metered data at verification. The same data supports GBI, GreenRE and LEED-style energy-management credits.

What if my original installer goes missing (orphaned system)?

This is a core service. We read the live bus, recover or rebuild the ETS project and group addresses, document everything and take over maintenance - you are never locked to one installer.

How long does installation take and will the building be in chaos?

Condo: 3-7 days. Link/terrace: 2-3 weeks. Semi-D/bungalow: 3-4 weeks. Wireless retrofit: 5-10 days. Office floors and hotels are phased floor by floor so trading continues. Factories are worked inside planned shutdown windows, and university rooms inside semester breaks, so no production shift or teaching hour is lost.
