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

Intelligent 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
   
 

Demand Control Ventilation System/ Energy-Efficient late-night purging sequence for diluting unwanted contaminants
Design / Innovative air cleaning and purification system development

   
 

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 technologies development

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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
