BEE Sense has achieved a significant milestone by integrating with the Green Business Certification Inc.’s (GBCI) Arc platform, providing pivotal information for the U.S. Green Building Council’s (USGBC) LEED v4.1 Operations + Maintenance (O+M) certification. It is the first monitoring system in Asia to support three RESET standards on energy, water, and air quality. By utilizing our comprehensive performance monitoring system, building managers can track their progress toward meeting the required criteria, and make necessary adjustments to achieve certification.
Arc for LEED certification
LEED v4.1 O+M certification focuses on the ongoing monitoring and maintenance of a building’s performance. To achieve LEED v4.1 O+M certification, a project needs to collect and report data on various performance metrics, including energy, water, waste, transportation, and human experience, such as occupant satisfaction and indoor environmental quality (IEQ). This data is collected over time to show ongoing performance improvement. This is where the Arc platform comes in.
Arc is a digital platform developed by GBCI that enables building owners and operators to track their performance in the five core metric areas aligned with LEED v4.1 O+M categories.
The First in Asia to Provide the Energy Data
BEE Sense monitoring system uses advanced sensors and analytics to provide real-time data on energy, water, and air quality, which is then transmitted to the Arc platform for analysis. Its growing list of data parameters includes:
- Air: PM2.5, PM10, TVOC, CO2, Temperature, Relative Humidity, Ozone, Carbon Monoxide, Formaldehyde, Fresh Air Volume Flow
- Electricity: Active Power, Apparent Power, Reactive Power, Power Factor, Voltage, L-L Voltage, Current, Cumulative Energy
- Energy: Gas Consumption, Thermal Energy (chilled & hot water)
- Renewable On-Site Renewable Energy Supply
- Water: Flow Rate Consumption, Water Leakage Detection, Total Dissolved Solids), Water Temperature, pH
- Sound: Average dBA levels
- Light: Average Lux levels
The promising development is that BEE is the first provider in Asia to offer energy monitoring as part of its solutions. Along with air and water parameters, energy quality is one of the crucial parts of LEED v4.1 O+M certification.
