Moro Hub, which is a subsidiary of Dubai Electricity & Water Authority (DEWA), has partnered with US-based Facilio, which is an AI-driven property operations cloud platform, to launch energy management and monitoring services for commercial and residential buildings in the UAE.
The service will be deployed across buildings and key structures that will reinforce the country's overarching sustainability goals, as well as result in more substantial and integrated electricity conservation programmes.
Commenting on the partnership, vice chairman of Moro Hub, Marwan Bin Haidar, said: "Through this platform, we seek to highlight the role of technologies in maximising power utilisation in various infrastructure, including buildings, and minimising electricity consumption through higher operational efficiency of key structures and facilities. This commitment is according to our endeavours to promote energy efficiency in buildings and in line with DEWA's intensified initiatives to reduce power consumption levels of Dubai's buildings.
The Energy Monitoring and Management services leverage the Internet of Things connectivity and distributed intelligence to ensure an optimised and cost-effective performance of buildings and assets through centrally-monitored and controlled operational systems. By rolling out these services, facilities managers and owners can maximise uptime and operational efficiency, reduce cost, meet sustainability goals, and enrich the overall occupant experience."
Energy Monitoring and Management services ensure asset reliability and reduce energy-related capital and operational expenses. This cloud-based service faciliates efficient management of power in buildings by providing asset owners with the capability to control their digitised energy and assets network. The service includes energy management; asset performance; fault detection and diagnostics; proactive maintenance management and measurement and verification
Commenting on the partnership, founder and chief executive officer of Facilio, Prabhu Ramachandran, said, "This cloud-based service will unify disparate building systems and enable a modern, data-driven model of property operations to improve building performance in real-time and meet sustainability goals. We are optimistic that the synergy between Moro Hub's advanced digital ecosystem and Facilio's O&M platform will help the industry unlock new potential for renewed operational excellence with greater agility."
