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.
