Flink System is proud to participate as a project partner in the sustainable farm project for St. Nicolas' Home, initiated and supported by Rotary Club of George Town, Prudential and Arkitek LLA.

This meaningful collaboration, centred on aquaponics, exemplifies ESG principles, advancing sustainable agriculture and enhancing food security in our community.

Aquaponics is a sustainable and integrated system that combines aquaculture (raising fish) and hydroponics (growing plants without soil). In an aquaponics system, fish and plants are grown together in a closed-loop, mutually beneficial environment. The fish provide nutrients to the plants from their waste, and the plants keep the fish's water clean.

By integrating aquaponics into food production systems, organizations and communities can actively contribute to ESG objectives, while supporting a more sustainable and responsible approach to farming.

As the world faces the challenges of climate change and other environmental concerns, businesses are under increasing pressure to demonstrate their commitment to environmental sustainability. This is particularly true for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that may have limited resources to invest in sustainability initiatives.

However, one of the most effective ways that SMEs can demonstrate their commitment to environmental sustainability is by implementing energy efficiency. Energy efficiency solutions are designed to reduce energy consumption and optimize energy usage in buildings and facilities. By doing so, SMEs can reduce their carbon emissions, and also contributes to their long-term financial success.

Implementing energy efficiency solutions involves using IoT technology, such as sensors, smart controls and analytics to monitor, control and analyse energy usage in real-time. The data is then used to identify areas of inefficiency and develop strategies for further reducing energy consumption and carbon emissions over time. Some examples of energy efficiency solutions include upgrading lighting systems, installing energy-efficient HVAC systems, and implementing smart controls that regulate lighting, heating and cooling according to occupancy and use.

The benefits of implementing energy efficiency solutions are numerous.

By investing in energy-efficient systems, SMEs can optimize energy consumption, reduce waste, and lower energy costs over time which can lead to long-term cost savings for businesses that operate on tight budgets, as well as reducing their carbon emissions, a key metric in ESG reporting.

SMEs that prioritize energy efficiency can enhance their reputation and manage their brand image. By demonstrating a commitment to sustainability and social responsibility, SMEs can improve their brand reputation, which can lead to increased brand loyalty, business opportunities while improved relationships with stakeholders too.

Moreover, it can also contribute to a more productive and healthier work environment. Room temperature is controlled automatically according to schedule, event, or climate change to save energy without sacrificing occupants’ comfort. Improved lighting systems and ventilation can also help reduce stress and increase productivity.

Fostering employee engagement in sustainability to drive company-wide progress

Additionally, it improves employee engagement and productivity. By providing employees with real-time data on energy consumption and sustainability goals, SMEs be able to motivate employees to act and contribute to the company's sustainability efforts. This can also help companies attract and retain talent who value sustainability and responsible business practices.

SMEs that implement energy efficiency solutions can better prepare for and comply with ESG regulations and standards. By using energy-efficient systems and optimizing their processes, SMEs can reduce their energy consumption and carbon emissions, which can help them meet regulatory requirements and achieve their ESG targets.

SMEs can improve energy efficiency across multiple areas of their operations

It is important to note that implementing energy efficiency is not a one-time effort but requires ongoing maintenance and monitoring. However, the long-term benefits of these solutions far outweigh the initial investment. The cost savings, environmental benefits, improved brand reputation, employee engagement and compliance with ESG practices all contribute to the long-term financial success of SMEs.

As ESG practices become increasingly important nowadays, SMEs that prioritize energy efficiency solutions will be better positioned to succeed in the long-term. Are you ready to take the next step in sustainability?

Let's talk about your sustainability goals and how Flink System can help you achieve them.

The global climate is warming faster than at any point in recorded history. Untamed levels of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions that are already bringing increasingly severe risks for ecosystems, human health and the economy. Reducing this risk and ensuring a safe future means societies working together to stabilize temperature rise at around 1.5°C or otherwise minimize any overshoot in temperature and return to pre-industrial levels as soon as possible to decrease the risk for irreversible climate tipping points. To accomplish that, global GHG emissions should halve by 2030 from a 2020 baseline to reach near zero by 2050.

Energy accounts for over two-thirds of global GHG emissions. This means energy must be at the heart of any solution. To succeed in limiting global warming, the world urgently needs to use energy efficiently to make things move, heat up and cool down and put emissions into sharp structural decline. Now, an intense acceleration in the transitions to clean, sustainable energy that are already underway in many countries and industries, but only gradually – far too slowly to meet the challenges head on. To avoid high risk of catastrophic consequences for people and our living environment, everyone: companies, cities, nations and citizens, must by rapidly reducing their own emissions.

In essence, GHG emissions related to energy can be cut in two ways:

by opting for cleaner energy sources, for example by replacing fossil fuels with non-combustible renewable sources (solar & wind power),

and/or by reducing the overall energy consumption through energy savings and energy efficiency gains, for instance by optimizing the use of building space and facilities with automation or move towards a low-emission vehicle fleet.

We spend most of our lives inside buildings, but our impact on the climate is not appropriately measured. This must transform if emissions in this sector are to halve by 2030, but we will also need to get comfortable with using buildings in new ways. Exponential technologies can help to lower energy use through better materials and automation control systems. Instead, the total area of buildings worldwide is growing rapidly – resulting in emissions from both construction and use.

The most common way of measuring energy use in buildings is kWh/sqm but does not account for the benefit given by the building. Therefore, it should be complemented with a measurement of energy use divided by intensity of use, like energy use per resident or energy use per client, depending on the purpose of the building. This provides much in-depth data of energy demand for effective transition to a low GHG emissions for buildings.

Reduced energy use during operation

The amount of operational energy used by a building can be reduced by automatically adjusting lighting, temperature and ventilation in accordance with how a building is used. Home and building automation can help drive down energy waste by adjusting to occupancy and need. A building can be divided up into zones which are only lit, heated, cooled and ventilated when they are used – hence minimize the power consumption without compromising the occupant's comfort.

Smart Energy Monitoring, Load Management and Energy IoT are increasingly essential in the effort to perform closed-loop measurement of carbon consumption and waste as well as analyzing and regulating GHG emissions aligned with a 1.5°C pathway.

Reduced demand for building space

Some industries have dramatically reduced their need for building space in recent years – most notably banks, where so many of the activities that used to be performed there have moved online. Demand for building space can be reduced by more efficient use of space. This can be achieved either through more intense use per square meter or per day. For example, implementing flexible seating (“hot desking”) in offices can increase space utilization, double the space efficiency compared to traditional office solutions when flexi-hour, Work From Home (WFH) are implemented.

Digitalization like booking system, QR order and people counting can help drive down energy waste by double or quadruple space utilization through new digitally enabled sharing models, while simultaneously improving productivity and reducing costs.

Doubled retrofitting

Two-thirds of the buildings that exist today will still be standing in 2050. Since buildings account for as much as 70% of a city’s GHG emissions, doubling the pace of retrofitting holds great potential for reducing emissions.

Building lighting and HVAC account for 60-75% of its primary energy use. Upgrading and/or optimizing existing fittings and fixtures to have automated LED lighting, energy-efficient HVAC, indoor environment quality monitoring and control and smart shading will have the most impact.

Additionally, Internet of Things (IoT) that connected to a common architecture can offer energy reports and analysis on buildings, assets and areas which waste most of the energy and streamline facilities work with real-time data.

Building real-time data for climate action

Successful GHG emissions cuts will depend on collecting and organizing data of all kinds. So that relationships are clear, cause and effect are established, and deviating opinions and assumptions explained. By systematically presenting building energy data, we can see correctly where we stand, focus on the right actions, hold stakeholders accountable and spread best practice.

We want data which is well organized, maintainable, scalable and can be further integrated to third party system. We need to provide data structure that lets users follow solutions and policies, see their result on leading indicators, and quantify their impact on emissions savings. A framework that makes it possible to update, compare and share these findings across business sectors and supply chains.

]]><![CDATA[Architecture & Technology In Tune]]>Sat, 15 Oct 2022 14:16:10 GMThttps://flinksystem.com/blog/architecture-technology-in-tune

When it comes to the home security and convenient life, smart home solutions play a fundamental role along with the architecture, working behind the scenes and blending seamlessly into any environment. Unique moments happen when architecture and technology integrate.

A reflection: integrating smart home automation to elevate living experience

Today's intelligent building has landed in the present. In the past, homeowners had to be recommended solutions for automation. But nowadays, it is the homeowners that are approaching architectural designer with preliminary discussions with interest in automation.

When we are running a busy household and becoming more comfortable in our everyday lives, it is amazing how much time is saved when we do not have to remember all the little things. We no longer want to worry about which two of ten switches needs to be switched on in the evening. The home can do most of the safety, comfort and energy efficiency works itself. In addition to everyday tasks, it also reduces several repeated thought processes: Have I switched off the exterior light? Is the bathroom water heater off? Therefore, home automation is now essential to enrich or facilitate everyday life without human intervention.

Home is meant to be a personal sanctuary, meeting all requirements in terms of aesthetics, technical sophistication and functionality. It is ideal to plan the use of home automation system early in the initial design. So, we can work closely with architectural designer/homeowner to complement the space experience design by providing a robust performance system to address the puzzle of energy, security, indoor environment quality and conveniences. Flink System provides high quality components, intuitive software and the right know-how to personalize a reliable, future-proof home automation system.

Sharing an architect words: “For me personally, automation is now my standard for planning. For example, a recently built bungalow has a courtyard, which I designed as an outdoor atrium with landscaping. When it came to the design and choice of materials, it was key to consider how to use the lighting control to set the scene by zone and create the perfect ambience by dimming automatically, especially in the evening to flow smoothly with the interior without being too bright and overpowering.

In the past, you would never have the luxury of creating such a mood because you would have to activate ten or more light circuits, each individually. Much more time and effort required to implement my spatial design automation until I met Flink System.”
