| dc.description.abstract | In 2009, the Executive Yuan approved the third wave of its emerging industries initiative—the “Dawning Green Energy Industry Program” to develop the Energy Information & Communication Technology (EICT) industry, including related monitoring devices and management platforms. Through applications integrating the energy management technologies and ICT technologies, the efficiency of energy use can be enhanced, thereby reducing energy consumption of buildings to archive the goal of carbon reduction.
Existing Building Energy Management System (BEMS) rely on wired sensor networks, thus mobility and feasibility is limited. The wired sensor networks will result in surmountable secondary construction costs. By employing wireless sensor networks, monitoring can be achieved while avoiding rewiring. BEMS requires not only investment costs and long-term maintenance and management services, resulting in very high entry barrier. In addition, servitizing BEMS not only can provide building owners with services tailored to their needs, but also lower cost of implementation and ownership, thus improve feasibility.
Company S is a major provider of software services in Taiwan. Based on its existing strong information and communication technology foundation, this study proposes a new business model, “Intelligent Building Management Services,” that including servitization of wireless sensor-based BEMS. The proposal takes advantage of governmental support in EICT, and integrates the “Internet of Things” technology, cloud computing technology. A feasibility study was conducted and concluded feasible.
