Shenglong Electric, a Chinese electricity company, presented its metaverse-based intelligent building management system at a trade fair in Beijing. This system integrates subsystems into a whole IoT interface, which automatically adjusts the air conditioning temperature based on visitor numbers. Developed by Shenglong Electric’s R&D team, this solution reduces energy consumption and operational costs while improving the visitor experience.
Shenglong Electric’s metaverse-based intelligent building management system covers a vast area of more than 60,000 square meters. The system autonomously controls all building equipment and adapts to different weather conditions and visitor dynamics. The system optimizes the temperature in the event space by using predictive capabilities, ensuring optimal comfort for visitors.
Shenglong Electric’s system reduces energy consumption and operating costs by dynamically adjusting air conditioning temperatures based on visitor numbers. This approach leads to a 15% reduction in energy consumption and a 70% reduction in operational costs.
While specific information about the project’s Metaverse integration is limited, the announcement lists buildings with “Metaverse operations and maintenance.” A possible application could be for building managers to use the Metaverse to simulate structural changes or upgrades. This approach would allow them to predict the effects of these changes, fine-tuning strategies for energy efficiency and occupant comfort. Another application could be the ability to navigate a virtual model of a building, operate digital control panels and resolve issues on the fly.
Moreover, the expo showcasing Shenglong Electric’s metaverse-based intelligent building management system attracted the attention of international participants. Shaikh Muhammad Shariq, the Chief Representative of the National Bank of Pakistan in China, invited Shenglong Electric to contribute to the Pakistan-China Economic Corridor.
Looking forward
By integrating multiple subsystems, the company has unlocked new possibilities for energy efficiency and visitor experiences. This solution will benefit the smart construction sector and could represent a step towards international cooperation and recognition.
The increasing importance of the metaverse as an avenue for international business and industrial innovation. As more enterprises explore the possibilities within the metaverse, it is becoming clear that this digital frontier offers unique opportunities for reimagining traditional processes and setting new benchmarks in smart technology. This shift towards a more interconnected and technologically advanced industrial environment paves the way for further innovations, highlighting the role of the metaverse in driving future progress across sectors.
