6 Key Pillars of Sustainable Facility Management with Technology Elevating to a Luxury Lifestyle

The term “innovations for living” has become increasingly prominent as technology integrates into nearly every aspect of our lives. In an era of rapid technological advancement, applying these innovations to create sustainable living environment has emerged as a critical solution to environmental challenges and a pathway to enhancing quality of life. Beyond reducing environmental impacts, these technologies are transforming living spaces into smart, sustainable havens.

 

Kayon Tantichatiwat, CEO of Metthier Co., Ltd., shared valuable insights at the TERRAHINT BRAND SERIES seminar hosted by TerraBKK.com. Kayon highlighted data trends regarding the growth of office buildings, shopping malls, and condominiums across Thailand. Among hundreds of thousands of condominium units nationwide, only 5,000 buildings have adopted green building practices, and an even smaller number—just 300 buildings—have achieved globally certified Green Building status.

 

But what exactly is a Certified Green Building? Most answers point to the use of natural or leftover materials, integrated into building designs through recycling. While this approach is undoubtedly positive, it falls short of addressing broader challenges such as sustainability and climate change in a meaningful way.

6 Key Pillars for Sustainable Facility Management

 

Kayon highlighted six fundamental pillars for achieving sustainable facility management:

1. 1. Durable and Maintainable
2. 2. Energy Efficiency
3. 3. Eco Friendly Materials
4. 4. Waste Reduction
5. 5. Water Efficiency
6. 6. Indoor Environmental Quality

 

To implement these six pillars of sustainability, it is essential to first understand the building’s carbon footprint and greenhouse gas emissions. Leveraging technology to collect this data, combined with AI and IoT, allows for the development of advanced Sustainable Energy Management systems. These innovations not only enhance environmental and energy management but also elevate our standard of living into a more refined and luxurious lifestyle.

 

Metthier, a leading tech company, specializes in cutting-edge Smart Facility Management solutions. With technologies like AI CCTV, Smart Incident Management, Digital Twin, 3D Visualization, Indoor Mapping, AIoT, and Robotics, Metthier optimizes workforce efficiency and internal building systems. All operations are seamlessly managed through the Metthier Intelligent Operation Center (MIOC). This robust technological infrastructure allows Metthier to support a wide variety of real estate projects, driving both efficiency and sustainability in modern living.

 

Metthier is also proud to present its latest flagship innovation, “METTRIQ” (Metthier Reformative IQ)—Thailand’s first all-in-one smart facility management platform. Integrating 12 advanced technologies into a single platform, METTRIQ enables building owners to extract data, such as the actual amount of carbon emissions and operational costs. This empowers property owners to achieve their KPI goals of reducing carbon emissions effectively.

 

As Kayon explained, “Net Zero cannot be achieved simply by sorting waste into five bins. It requires a deeper effort to identify ways to reduce carbon and greenhouse gas emissions. By leveraging technology and data–driven planning, we can truly move closer to achieving Net Zero.”

 

Kayon further emphasized the growing role of robotics in our daily lives. Metthier has developed cleaning robots that not only perform cleaning tasks efficiently but also enhance a building’s modern and innovative image. This aligns with the evolving demands of users and represents a shift in business development to stay relevant and future-ready.

Another key focus for Kayon is data utilization. By leveraging data, Metthier can assess building performance and address issues proactively. For instance, if a problem arises, the company can dispatch technicians from its office for proactive maintenance without waiting for a repair request. This approach supports Metthier mission to enable seamless collaboration between humans and technology, ensuring smarter and more efficient facility management.
