Course Synopsis

As Singapore accelerates its green building transition, the pressure on building owners and facilities managers is growing. Rising energy costs, tightening green building requirements, and increasing operational demands are driving an urgent need for smarter, more efficient building management. In response, artificial intelligence (AI) and Internet of Things (IoT) technologies are rapidly transforming how buildings are operated—enabling real-time optimisation, predictive maintenance, and deeper decarbonisation across the built environment.
 
This SGBC Webinar, supported by SGBC Member Univers, will explore how AI-powered platforms enable autonomous building energy and operations management. The session will cover how IoT sensors and AI models work together to identify inefficiencies and automate actions, followed by real-world case studies demonstrating energy savings and cost reductions. A platform walkthrough will also illustrate how these solutions can be implemented in practice.

Speaker Biography
Han Yong Lee leads presales and solutions architecture at Univers. With experience across commercial real estate, food and beverage facilities, and critical infrastructure in Singapore and the Asia-Pacific region, he works at the intersection of operational technology and enterprise artificial intelligence (AI).

Han Yong works with building owners, operators, and facility managers across Asia to translate AI and internet of things (IoT) capabilities into operational outcomes. He specialises in connecting building systems data — from Building Management System (BMS) to Computerised Maintenance Management System (CMMS) — into intelligent digital twin platforms that enable energy optimisation, predictive maintenance, and agentic workflows. His focus is on making AI work not just with data, but with the organisational knowledge behind it.

Presentation Synopsis
Han Yong traces the journey from raw sensor data to agentic AI workflows, showing how BMS, CMMS, and IoT systems come together in intelligent digital twin platforms. He explores how AI moves beyond dashboards to drive real energy optimisation, predictive maintenance, and autonomous operations across commercial and critical facilities.
