2018 UEM Edgenta Annual Report

At UEM Edgenta, we believe in the importance of being conscious of environmental impacts and mitigating global issues of climate change. As such, we continuously evaluate various green solutions and technologies that can be implemented in our projects, operations and properties for greater efficiency and minimising carbon footprint. It has become a norm for corporations to indulge in producing and practicing green technology and energy saving practices in their own workplace, as well as their operations and properties. Not only does it have a tremendous effect on the planet, but it also displays the effort of a company in preserving and protecting mother nature, as well as educate their employees to apply ways and habits in conserving the environment in their everyday life. In 2018, Property & Facility Solutions (“PFS”) division through KFM Holdings Sdn. Bhd. was able to further reduce energy consumption at Hospital Putrajaya by retrofitting 5 chiller plants and replaced 8,895 existing light fittings to LED lighting. The targeted total annual energy savings for the six-year project is 3,512,403 kWh/year and reduction in lighting energy consumption alone is estimated at 77% with LED lighting. From May to December 2018, we recorded an accumulated actual savings of 2,235,235.52 kWh, just six months since we started monitoring the performance. Retrofitting of LED lighting was also done for Hospital Raja Permaisuri Bainun, Ipoh, as well as installation and optimisation works for air- conditioning and mechanical ventilation (ACMV) by Edgenta Energy Services Sdn. Bhd. A total of 7,234 lights were retrofitted with LED lighting and this has resulted in a monthly saving of 129,590.83 kWh, which translates to a reduction of 77.3%.
