SCOPE OF BUSINESS |
| |
Acron provides professional consulting and surveying services to
commercial and industrial-sector clients in environmental engineering
and building services design. We bring to each project extensive
experience and comprehensive knowledge of regulatory requirements.
We undertake the project by thoroughly analyzing the problem and
listening to the needs and expectations of our clients. The services
provided by our professional teams include:
|
|
| Indoor
Air Quality (IAQ) |
| |
On average, we spend more than 70% of our time at home, in offices and
other indoor environments. Therefore, TO MAINTAIN A GOOD INDOOR AIR
QUALITY IS VERY IMPORTANT.
IAQ & Your health
Poor indoor air quality induces the problems of sick building syndrome
and building related diseases:
- eye irritation
- throat irritation
- respiratory
problems
- headaches
- dizziness
- toxicological
effects on the central nervous system, liver, kidney & blood
cancer (long-term exposure)
IAQ & Your business
Poor indoor air quality induces the problems of:
- Low productivity
- High sick
leave rate
- Reduction
of properties value
- Unpleasant
impression for customer

Building Related Business |
| |
The Intelligent
Building Institute has proposed: an intelligent building is one that
provides a productive and cost-effective environment through optimization
of its 4 elements - structure, system, services and management - and
the interrelationships between them. Intelligent buildings help business
owners, property managers and occupants to realize their goals in
the areas of cost, comfort, convenience, safety, long-term flexibility
and marketability.
Acron is working
towards this approach by providing professional engineering services
and energy audit. The designs for our clients' projects related to
intelligent building are based on our research and the feasibility
study. Our engineers use their experience and expertise to work with
each client to achieve the best and the most economical design solutions.
Our areas of practices include: |
| |
|
| |
Advanced
Floor Ventilation System Design and Protocol
Floor Ventilation
is a breakthrough in intelligent building technology of this century.
It is an energy conservative, flexible and intelligent controlled
system.
Nowadays, many Grade A buildings are designed with raised Floor utilizing
the under-floor HVAC system. This system can optimize Facilities Management
(FM) by enhancing the flexibility and mobility of the working stations
and servers in the office. This is an advantage for the offices applying
the Intranet, the information technology and the e-commerce. |

Building
Security and Control System Design
With respect
to life safety, property damage and business interruption, an intelligent
building is designed of using high technology to maximize the performance
of security systems and minimize the costs. The protocol we designed
involves the following aspects:
- Fire
safety
-
Security alarms
-
Remote Control system
-
Open Building Automation Network Protocol
-
Elimination of interruption on power supplies
-
Emergency control of lighting and heating, ventilating and air-conditioning
(HVAC) systems

Acron's
design aims at saving energy consumed in the HVAC system by regulating
the fresh air supply and monitoring the level of indoor contaminants
without sacrificing the thermal comfort and indoor air quality. Strategies
we used in these systems to reduce energy consumption in intelligent
buildings include:
- Dual Mode Demand
Control Ventilation Strategy
- Enthalpy-based
Air-side Economizer
- Optimal Start
and Stop HVAC System
- Setpoint reset
- Membrane filter

| Energy
Auditing and Assessment |
| |
As environmental
concern becomes the most significant topic in the coming era, energy
efficiency is the top priority of Acron in building services design.
We realize that providing the case-by-case oriented energy audit and
assessment is the very first but important step to our clients in
running their business. Through the comprehensive energy audit and
assessment, we unveil the unnecessary use of energy, optimizing efficiency
of the Facilities Management (FM) and minimizing the building running
and operation cost. We provide our clients this service in the following
stages:
- Reference
Data Collection
Collect information such as energy bills, checklists and layouts/summaries
of the energy consuming systems and equipment, including air-conditioning,
lighting and electrical apparatus. The Energy Saving Opportunities
(ESOs) could be identified at this stage.
- Preliminary
Survey
Carry out a walk-through survey of the building to identify the
area of energy usage and ESOs. We will also determine whether it
is worthwhile to proceed to the detailed investigation for those
areas. The conclusion is prepared in the form of an interim report.
It states the resource and capital input for the further detailed
Investigation.
- Detailed
Investigation and Data Analysis
Proceed a complete review of energy consuming system identified
in the interim report. Detailed site measurements are usually required
following data analysis, for example, the calculation of the Overall
Thermal Transfer Value (OTTV), capital input and rate/period of
return of each mitigation.
- Plan
Design and Implementation
After the detailed investigation and calculation, Energy Management
Programs (EMPs) and improvement work are established. With the close
communication to the clients, our team will suggest priorities and
prompt action to achieve energy savings and efficiency promotion
to help our client save money.

| Environmental
Impact Assessment (EIA) |
| |
As the serious
spoiling of our environment, the government and the public are highly
concerned about environmental conservation. In the moment, government
even promulgates the law to control the discharge of industrial and
chemical waste and to monitor the impact induced by the large construction
work.
Acron realizes
the importance of eliminating the impact to the environment. We intend
to use our knowledge to make contribution to our environment as well
as assist all our clients to achieve the same goal. Our multi-disciplinary
team comprises of engineers; environmental specialists and supporting
staffs working in the environmental assessment and outdoor measurement.
Application with the up-to-date instrument, we undertake the fast
and intensive investigation and give professional advice and technical
support to our clients. |
