Ai-Glies | Energy-saving system that can be retrofitted to existing commercial air conditioners

In factories and business facilities, the longer the air conditioning equipment operates, the greater the challenge of reducing electricity costs. On the other hand, if air conditioning is suppressed too much to save energy, the impact on the indoor environment must also be considered.

Ai-Glies is an energy-saving system that automatically controls existing commercial air conditioners, helping to reduce power consumption and CO2 emissions while maintaining a comfortable air conditioning environment.

With a retrofit design using wireless communication, it can be installed while minimizing large-scale wired wiring work and drilling holes in walls. In addition, before full implementation, it is possible to estimate the energy-saving effect and consider installation after verifying actual measurement data through an evaluation test on a single system.

Nippon Denka Kogyosho(Thailand) Ltd. proposes Ai-Glies for factories and business facilities in Thailand.

■ What is Ai-Glies?

Ai-Glies is an energy-saving system that helps reduce power consumption and CO2 emissions by automatically controlling the operation of commercial air conditioners.

Because it supports retrofitting to existing air conditioning equipment, there is no need to replace the entire air conditioning system for the purpose of energy saving.

It can be considered particularly for facilities that want to review the electricity costs of their air conditioning equipment, such as factories and business facilities that operate commercial air conditioners for long periods.

Whether it can actually be installed is determined after checking the model and equipment configuration of the existing air conditioners.

■ Features of Ai-Glies

Can be retrofitted to existing commercial air conditioners Since it can be installed while utilizing existing air conditioning equipment, energy-saving measures can be considered without replacing the air conditioners themselves.

It is suitable for factories and business facilities that want to review their power consumption while utilizing existing equipment as much as possible.

Minimizes large-scale wiring work using wireless communication Ai-Glies controls air conditioning equipment using wireless communication.

Therefore, it is structured to easily minimize large-scale wired wiring work, such as connecting control devices with long communication cables, and drilling holes in buildings.

It is an easy system to consider for retrofitting to existing buildings or when major modifications to equipment want to be avoided.

Automatic control while considering the air conditioning environment Ai-Glies automatically controls the operating status of the air conditioning equipment to reduce power consumption.

Instead of simply stopping the air conditioning, it aims to balance energy savings and the air conditioning environment by controlling operations while also considering the impact on the indoor environment.

■ Confirming energy-saving effects before installation

When introducing an energy-saving system, "how much reduction effect can actually be expected" is an important deciding factor.

With Ai-Glies, before full implementation, we check the model, capacity, and operating status of existing air conditioners to estimate the energy-saving effect and return on investment period in advance.

Furthermore, we install equipment on a single system of the target air conditioning equipment to conduct an evaluation test and measure actual operation data. Since the reduction effect can be confirmed based on the actual measurement data obtained in the evaluation test, the effect can be evaluated before fully introducing the system.

The basic flow leading up to implementation is preliminary confirmation, estimation of energy-saving effects, evaluation testing on a single system, confirmation of actual measurement data, and consideration of full implementation.

■ Post-installation monitoring and support

Ai-Glies is equipped with a mechanism to monitor the operating status on the cloud after implementation.

It continuously checks the operating status of the system and notifies you if an abnormality is detected. On-site inspections are also supported as necessary.

For energy-saving equipment, it is important to operate it while confirming that it is functioning normally not only at the time of installation but also after installation. With Ai-Glies, you can consider energy-saving measures that include post-installation operation.

We will also provide guidance on the monitoring system and operation methods after installation, so please feel free to consult with us.

※ The installation and measurement for evaluation tests, and post-installation monitoring and inspection will be carried out in cooperation with local partner companies.

■ FAQ

Q1. Can it be installed on existing air conditioners?
A1 : Yes. Ai-Glies is a system designed to be retrofitted to existing commercial air conditioners. However, since the installation conditions differ depending on the air conditioner model and equipment configuration, we will determine whether installation is possible after checking the existing equipment.

Q2. Can I check how much energy can be saved before installation?
A2 : Based on the model, capacity, operating status, etc. of the existing air conditioners, we will estimate the energy-saving effect and the return on investment period in advance. Also, you can consider full implementation after conducting an evaluation test on one system and confirming the actual measurement data.

Q3. Does installation require large-scale wiring work?
A3 : Because Ai-Glies has a retrofit design using wireless communication, it is a system that easily minimizes large-scale wired wiring work and drilling holes in walls. The actual construction details will vary depending on the layout of the air conditioning equipment and the condition of the building.

Q4. Is there monitoring or support after installation?
A4 : After installation, the operating status of the system is monitored on the cloud, and if an abnormality is confirmed, a notification will be sent.
