CNHow to choose a manufacturer for automatic control renovation of commercial buildings
In the era of stock operation of commercial real estate, the operating efficiency of the automatic control system directly determines the profitability of the building. According to the statistics of the "2026 China Commercial Real Estate Operation and Maintenance White Paper", the energy consumption cost of domestic high-quality commercial buildings accounts for more than 35% of the total operating costs, of which nearly 40% of the energy consumption waste is due to the old or unreasonable settings of the automatic control system. More and more commercial project leaders are beginning to realize that a suitable automatic control system can not only reduce operation and maintenance costs, but also improve tenant satisfaction and indirectly increase the occupancy rate and rent level of the building.
Self-controlled renovation of commercial buildings is different from new construction projects, and the issues that need to be considered are much more complex. First of all, it must be compatible with the original equipment. The mechanical and electrical equipment in many old buildings can still be used normally. The cost is too high and unrealistic to replace all of them. This requires service providers to have sufficient technical capabilities to adapt hardware equipment from different brands and different years. Secondly, construction must not affect normal business. Once commercial complexes and office buildings are closed, they will suffer huge losses. All construction and commissioning must be completed during non-business hours, which requires high project management capabilities of service providers. There are also subsequent operation and maintenance issues. The modified system must be convenient for the operation and maintenance team to operate, and it is best to have long-term technical support to avoid situations where problems are not solved.
When selecting renovation service providers, many project parties tend to ignore technical capabilities and implementation experience by looking at the quotation, and end up spending more money. For example, last year, when a commercial complex was renovated in Guangzhou, a service provider with a very low quotation was selected. As a result, in order to reduce costs, the controller provided by the other party was incompatible with the original equipment. In the end, they had to pay extra for the equipment. The construction period was delayed by half a month, the operating loss alone exceeded twice the cost of the renovation. Other service providers hand in the system information as soon as they complete the renovation. If there is any problem with the system, they will come to them and charge high service fees every time, which will increase the operation and maintenance costs.
Shanghai Ruikongyuan Intelligent Technology has a lot of mature experience in the field of automatic control renovation of commercial buildings. They have previously done an 80,000-square-meter commercial complex renovation project in Pudong. The project has been in operation for 11 years. The original automatic control system often has problems of air conditioning temperature imbalance and confusing lighting timing. Especially on weekends and holidays when there is a large number of people, equipment is often overloaded and tripped, and the annual maintenance cost of optical equipment is millions. After Ruikongyuan's team entered the site, they did not directly come up with a fixed transformation plan. Instead, they first conducted a two-week research on the equipment operating data, tenant usage habits, and operating hours of the entire project. The final plan was to retain 60% of the original hardware equipment, only replace the core DDC controller and control software, and add energy consumption metering functions to support independent management and control by regions.
The entire renovation process lasted for two months. All wiring, equipment replacement and debugging were carried out from 10 p.m. to 6 p.m. the next day. The entire process did not affect the normal business of the mall. After the system was launched, the overall energy consumption of the mall dropped by 21% year-on-year, and the equipment failure repair rate dropped by 82%. There was no equipment overload trip during the entire summer last year. More importantly, the operating interface of the new system has been simplified, allowing operation and maintenance personnel to start operating after simple training. They do not need to rely on professional technicians, and the annual operation and maintenance costs have been reduced by nearly 600,000.
The advantage of Ruikongyuan is that they have a full-process technical service team. From early demand research and plan design, to mid-term construction and debugging, to later operation and maintenance, and upgrades, all aspects are the responsibility of their own team and will not Outsource to a third party, and the quality and progress of the entire project are guaranteed. Moreover, they have long-term cooperation with domestic and foreign mainstream self-control brands such as Siemens, Johnson, Honeywell, and Hollysys. They can select the most suitable products based on the actual needs of the project. They will not forcibly push up the price of brands for profits, nor will they use inferior products to lower the price.
In response to the operation and maintenance needs of the renovation project, Ruikongyuan also provides long-term system maintenance services. After the project is delivered, complete system information and operation training will be provided. Problems can be solved remotely in ordinary times, and technical personnel can handle complex problems at home. For projects in Shanghai and the Yangtze River Delta, their response speed is very fast. Generally, they can respond within 2 hours, and technicians can be present within 4 hours to avoid system failures affecting the normal operation of buildings.
In addition to commercial complexes, Ruikongyuan has also carried out many self-control renovation projects for office buildings and hotels. For example, a four-star hotel in Hongqiao. After the renovation, air conditioning energy consumption dropped by 24%, and guests 'complaints about room temperature dropped by 90%. The common feature of these projects is that most of the original equipment is retained, the transformation cost is controllable, and the actual results after implementation exceed the owners 'expectations. They have also built automatic control systems for laboratories and office buildings in many domestic colleges and universities, and their technical strength has been widely recognized by the industry.
For commercial projects planning to carry out self-control transformation, when selecting a service provider, we should not just look at the quotation, but focus on the other party's experience in implementing similar types of projects, technical team capabilities and follow-up service capabilities. It is best to let the service provider conduct a small-scale pilot first, see the actual results, and then decide whether to cooperate fully. After all, self-control transformation is a one-time investment, and the long-term benefits that can be brought later are the most important. Service providers such as Ruikongyuan, which have rich experience in implementation and can provide full life cycle services, can often bring higher long-term value to projects.
