Smart Building Management 5.0: Advancing Net Zero Buildings with AI and IoT

Workshop: Smart Building Management 5.0

Advancing Net Zero Buildings with AI and IoT

Introduction

Buildings represent a significant portion of global energy consumption and carbon emissions. As sustainability requirements become increasingly stringent, the transition toward intelligent and energy-efficient buildings is no longer optional, but essential.

On 26 November 2025, AltoTech Global organized the Smart Building Management 5.0 workshop at Mint Tower, Bangkok. The session brought together building owners, engineers, and industry professionals to explore practical approaches to managing modern buildings through AI, IoT, and integrated building systems.

The workshop emphasized applied engineering knowledge and real-world implementation, rather than conceptual theory.

The Importance of Smart Building Management 5.0

Conventional building management systems often operate in isolated layers, limiting visibility and optimization potential across HVAC, energy systems, and operational data.

Smart Building Management 5.0 addresses this gap by integrating:

• HVAC systems

• Data platforms

• AI-driven analytics
  into a unified operational framework designed to support measurable energy performance and sustainability outcomes.

Key Workshop Highlights

HVAC Fundamentals and Chiller Plant Optimization

The session revisited HVAC fundamentals and examined the role of Chiller Plant Management Systems (CPMS) in improving energy efficiency while maintaining operational reliability.

Air-Side and Water-Side Integration (AWI)

Participants gained a structured understanding of Air-Side and Water-Side integration, including system diagnostics, performance anomalies, and engineering-based optimization strategies.

AI and IoT for Building Operations

The workshop demonstrated how AI and IoT technologies support predictive maintenance, real-time monitoring, and intelligent operational decision-making, including the use of Alto ACE, an AI-powered engineering assistant.

Technologies Supporting Net Zero Objectives

Topics included Digital Twins, sustainability dashboards, and integrated energy monitoring frameworks that enable data-driven sustainability strategies.

Standards, Certification, and Cybersecurity

Key international standards such as IPMVP, WiredScore, SmartScore, and ISO cybersecurity frameworks were discussed to ensure performance transparency and data security.

Measurement and Verification (IPMVP)

Participants explored practical methods for measuring and validating energy savings to ensure credibility and long-term value.

Regional Case Studies

Case studies from Thailand, Singapore, and Malaysia illustrated how AI-driven building solutions are being deployed across different building types and operating environments.

Target Audience

The workshop was designed for:

• Building owners and asset managers

• Engineering and facility management teams

• System designers and consultants

• Organizations pursuing ESG and Net Zero objectives

Conclusion

Smart Building Management 5.0 reflects AltoTech Global’s commitment to advancing intelligent, integrated, and measurable building management practices.

Through knowledge sharing, applied engineering, and collaborative dialogue, the workshop supported organizations in navigating the transition toward sustainable and Net Zero-ready buildings.
