SM O ces utilizes technology to serve tenant-partners

MAXIMIZING the latest in technological advancements, SM Offices has been quick to adopt various property technologies (proptech) into their operations to help open new avenues in advancing the quality of real estate.

Proptech brings forth inventive solutions that enhance buildings – boosting efficiency, streamlining operations, and improving customer experience.

SM Offices, a subsidiary of property giant SM Prime Holdings Inc, is actively leveraging on such technologies to slash energy consumption and revolutionizing its space solutions to become more sustainable. This forward-thinking approach to integrating proptech not only underscores SM Offices’ commitment to sustainability goals but also paves the way for innovative adaptations in its infrastructure.

It recently launched electric vehicle (EV) chargers at three of their office buildings in the Mall of Asia Complex, namely ThreeE-com Center, FourE-com Center, and FiveE-com Center.

By introducing EV chargers in its office buildings, SM Offices takes the next logical step towards reducing environmental impact and enhancing tenant experience,

“Listening to the growing demand from our tenant-partners for more environmentally friendly transportation options, we have proactively installed EV chargers in our properties. This initiative is part of our broader commitment to improving tenant convenience and leading by example in adopting a low-carbon footprint lifestyle. Our efforts are a testament to our belief that green buildings and practices are not merely ethical choices but smart, long-term investments,” said Alexis L. Ortiga, SM Prime vice president and SM Offices head.

It has also embraced cutting-edge technologies like the Energy Recovery Ventilator (ERV) – another technology that promotes energy efficiency by transforming stale exhaust air into fresh outside air. Aside from improved energy efficiency, this system enhances air quality, moisture regulation, and provides cool and clean air to the tenants.

Other technologies in its office buildings include a Building Management System (BMS) and Air Conditioning and Ventilation System (ACVS) equipment, which are used to optimize desired comfort cooling requirements at the least energy and water consumption for both common areas and applicable leased spaces.
