Daelim Corporation, Making Apartment Defect Prevention 'Smart'

Full-Scale Application of Home Network-Based Smart Commissioning Solution, Data-Driven Intelligent Inspection
Reducing Defects Through Data Analysis, Enabling Efficient Workforce Management and Energy Savings

[Asia Economy Reporter Onyu Lim] Daelim Corporation announced on the 24th that it will fully apply its smart commissioning solution for apartment complexes. Daelim Corporation is conducting the commissioning process through PCs and mobile devices linked to the home network system installed in apartment complexes. A Daelim official stated, "Through this, we expect to contribute to efficient workforce management, energy savings, and prevention of defects through various data analyses."

The smart commissioning solution was first developed domestically by Daelim Corporation last year, securing patents and copyrights. Since then, it has completed pilot operations at Daelim Industrial’s apartment sites, and having been recognized for its efficiency and economic feasibility, it has been expanded from this year onward.

Previously, commissioning in apartment complexes was conducted by staff visiting every household in person for visual inspections. Functional checks require multiple commissioning sessions over time to deliver a perfect condition to residents; however, since commissioning is performed within a relatively short period, there is a possibility of missing problems. In contrast, Daelim’s smart commissioning solution implements the existing process through remote control via PCs and mobile devices. This enables efficient workforce management and energy savings. Additionally, areas requiring meticulous inspection can undergo repeated commissioning, allowing detection of errors or defects that are difficult to find with a one-time inspection.

By applying this solution, lighting, temperature control, ventilation, gas, elevators, and more in each household can be remotely controlled and inspected. Furthermore, real-time monitoring of temperature and energy consumption per household allows checking heating and cooling efficiency. The flush-out process, which repeatedly heats and ventilates the interior to remove new house syndrome before move-in, can also be conducted remotely.

Moreover, controlling access to common areas and inside households can prevent defects and energy waste caused by unnecessary worker entry. Previously, door lock passwords were set per household and shared with workers or card keys were provided. In contrast, with the smart commissioning solution, access rights are granted to each worker’s mobile device via Bluetooth for a specified period and designated households. This prevents unnecessary worker entry into households and enhances security by managing access logs.

Daelim Corporation plans to utilize the smart commissioning solution in conjunction with its own quality management application for systematic defect management. Managers can register defects or areas requiring inspection found through the smart commissioning solution into the quality management system. Defect statuses by building and household are shared in real time. Related information can be communicated to responsible partner companies or workers to request immediate action. All data is aggregated and visualized through the commissioning portal platform, allowing nationwide sites to be monitored at a glance and progress and defect rates to be compared and analyzed. Actual application of the smart commissioning solution has shown about a 31% energy saving effect compared to before. Additionally, it is expected that 20% of defects occurring at apartment sites can be identified and addressed in advance.

Daelim is currently accelerating digital innovation by actively adopting various ICT technologies and advanced construction methods. The strategy is to enhance work efficiency and achieve cost innovation by actively utilizing big data analysis and Internet of Things technology, while also capturing the effect of defect prevention. Furthermore, Daelim plans to accumulate various big data derived from the commissioning process, such as energy consumption, real-time temperature changes, and fine dust levels, to be used in developing new design and construction technologies.
