Getting Started with Smart Cool Tech

Smart Cool Tech is delivered as a turnkey solution. Our team handles all installation, configuration, and model training.
You only need to provide:

Required Information

1. Building Information

The following building information must be provided during system setup:

InformationDescriptionExample
Building NameOfficial name of the facilityElements Tower
LocationCity and countryHong Kong
GPS CoordinatesLatitude and longitude22.3055° N, 114.1613° E
Building TypeCommercial, residential, mixed-useCommercial
Total Floor AreaGross floor area50,000 m²
Operating HoursNormal operating schedule08:00 - 22:00

2. Chiller Specifications

Minimum Requirement

At least 4 chillers are required for optimal sequencing.

For each chiller, the following specifications must be provided:

ParameterDescriptionUnitExample
Chiller IDUnique identifier-CH-01
ManufacturerEquipment manufacturer-Trane
Model NumberManufacturer's model-CVHG1100
Chiller TypeWater-cooled, air-cooled, seawater-cooled-Water-cooled
Rated Cooling CapacityNominal cooling capacitykW3,500
Rated Power ConsumptionNominal electrical power inputkW580
Design COPCoefficient of Performance at design-6.03
Minimum PLRMinimum Part Load Ratio%30
Maximum PLRMaximum Part Load Ratio%100
Minimum On TimeMinimum continuous running timeminutes30
Minimum Off TimeMinimum time before restartminutes30

3. Real-Time Data Access

The system requires API access to 10 data points per chiller:

#Data PointDescriptionUnit
1chiller_statusOn/Off operating statusBoolean (0/1)
2cooling_loadCurrent cooling load outputkW
3power_consumptionCurrent electrical power inputkW
4chws_tempChilled water supply temperature°C
5chwr_tempChilled water return temperature°C
6cdws_tempCondenser water supply temperature°C
7cdwr_tempCondenser water return temperature°C
8chw_flowChilled water flow rateL/s
9cdw_flowCondenser water flow rateL/s
10part_load_ratioPart load ratio%
Notes
  • If cooling_load is not directly measured, it can be calculated from flow rate and temperature difference
  • If part_load_ratio is not available, it can be derived from cooling load and rated capacity

4. Historical Data

Critical Requirement

Minimum 1 year of historical data required for model training.

RequirementSpecification
Minimum DurationAt least 1 year
Data Completeness> 90% availability
Data FormatCSV, Excel, or API
Timestamp FormatISO 8601 (e.g., 2024-01-15T08:30:00+08:00)

Why 1 year?

  • Captures seasonal variations
  • Includes various weather conditions
  • Enables accurate ML model training
  • Provides baseline for energy savings comparison

5. API Access Requirements

For real-time data collection:

RequirementDescription
API TypeREST API, BACnet/IP, Modbus TCP, or OPC-UA
AuthenticationAPI key, OAuth, or certificate-based
Access LevelRead access to all specified data points
NetworkSecure connection (HTTPS, VPN, or dedicated line)
Availability24/7 access with > 99% uptime
