Mr. Steven Kang Invited as Distinguished Guest Speaker at Nanyang Technological University
We are proud to share that Mr. Steven Kang, Managing Director of Measurement & Verification Pte Ltd, was invited as a distinguished guest speaker for the Advanced Professional Certificate in Sustainable Urban Environment programme at Nanyang Technological University (NTU).
During the session, he shared insights on two major disruptions that have already reshaped Singapore’s built environment, as well as two emerging disruptions that are set to transform it even further.
1. Performance-guarantee contracts powered by accurate, real-time data
Moving from promises to accurate and real-time measurements has helped Singapore score big environmental plus financial wins.
2. Unlocking proprietary Building Management Systems
Unlocking proprietary BMS systems which opens up competition and innovation that drive MORE: Manpower & Operational productivity, Reliability, and Energy efficiency.
3. Predictive & demand-based maintenance
With performance guarantees and open BMS becoming the norm, and with intense tightening of foreign labour availability in Singapore, the prevailing periodic maintenance practices will soon be disrupted. Facility owners will be forced to transform from the prevailing practice of “people-heavy, technology-light” to “people-light and technology-heavy”, forcing the industry to adopt predictive and demand-based maintenance as the new norm.
4. Immersion liquid cooling for AI servers
Direct-to-chip liquid cooling is the prevailing solution to cool super-hot AI servers. An imminent disruptor is immersion liquid cooling, which I predict will be the next frontier for sustainable AI data centre cooling.
The discussion with senior leaders from across the built industry was highly interactive and inspiring. It’s encouraging to see NTU nurturing industry leaders to turn sustainability ambitions into real, verified performance.
Thank you to the NTU faculty and participants for the engaging exchange. M&V look forward to more collaboration as we build and operate smarter, more sustainable urban infrastructures.
