Project Outcome

项目成果

Through a combination of technical and managerial measures by the property management team, energy efficiency has significantly improved: total electricity consumption in 2024 decreased by 444,100 kWh compared to 2023, while over 7 million tons of waste was sorted and recycled.

物业团队多项技术与管理措施的综合作用下,能效提升成果显著:2024年总用电量较2023年大幅减少44.41万度垃圾分类回收超700万吨。

 

1. Smart Curtain Wall System

The building features a triple-layer intelligent facade that automatically adjusts louvers based on solar intensity. Acting like a “breathing system,” it optimizes indoor light and heat conditions, reducing air-conditioning load from the source.

1. 智能幕墙系统:建筑外立面采用三层智能幕墙,可根据日照强度自动调节百叶角度,犹如“呼吸系统”,有效调控室内光热环境,从源头降低空调负荷。

 

2. HVAC System Optimization

Dynamic Load Management: Monitors host load in real time; redundant units and auxiliary equipment are shut down when load falls below 60%, saving 650 kWh per hour. Time- and Zoned-Based Control: Divides areas by usage pattern. High-use zones are powered down after 19:00 on weekdays and on weekends, saving ~2700 kWh per weekend day. Unoccupied Zone Strategy: Sets AC temperature to 28°C and reduces fan speed in unused spaces to balance energy use.

2. 空调系统优化动态负载管理: 实时监测主机负载,在负载低于60%时自动关闭冗余主机及配套设备,每小时可节电650kWh。分时分区控制: 依据空间使用特性划分高低区,工作日19:00后及周末关闭高区空调,仅周末单日即可节电约2700kWh。无人区温控策略: 将无人区域空调温度统一上调至28℃,并降低风柜运行频率,平衡能耗。

 

3. Smart Lighting Upgrade

Offices: BA-controlled lighting auto-adjusts based on natural light to maintain 300–400 Lux. Lights turn off 20 minutes after occupants leave. Garage: “Tidal lighting” strategy—full brightness during peak hours, reduced to 25% in off-peak and nighttime periods, ensuring safety without waste.Unoccupied Zones: Only essential lighting remains on during non-working hours.

3. 智慧照明改造:办公区: 采用智能照明系统(BA智控),根据室外光照度自动调节室内灯具,维持恒定的300-400Lux照度;人员离开20分钟后自动熄灯。车库: 实施“潮汐式”照明策略,高峰期全亮,非高峰时段及夜间将车道照明亮度从50%降至25%,在确保安全的前提下杜绝无效照明。无人区: 非办公时间仅保留巡更所需的走廊及卫生间基础照明。

 

4. Waste Sorting

A “Zero-Waste Office” initiative was introduced, emphasizing source reduction, accurate sorting, and recycling—cumulatively recovering over 67 tons of plastics, paper, food waste, etc.

4. 垃圾分类:在废弃物管理方面,物业团队推动“零废弃办公”试点,通过源头减量、精准分类、资源循环和意识提升,试点第一个月累计回收塑料、废纸、厨余等各类垃圾超过67吨。

 

5. Low-Carbon Promotion & Staff Engagement

Year-round activities include low-carbon campaigns such as:

Earth Day events: waste-sorting games, green quizzes, book-for-vegetable swaps Lights-Off Hour participation Self-produced video A Day of Zero Waste Green commuting and second-hand markets

Annual participation reached over 5,000 person-times. 

5.低碳宣传与员工参与团队还组织低碳宣传活动,如每年世界地球日开展垃圾分类游戏、低碳环保知识问答、以书换“蔬”公益活动;在“地球熄灯日”开展熄灯节能公益活动;自制《“零废弃”的一天》视频,以轻松有趣的方式倡导低碳办公生活;举办绿色出行、二手市集交换公益活动等;低碳节能宣传贯穿全年,年参与人次达5000余人。

Project Implementation

项目实施

During the implementation process, the team faced multiple challenges such as changing habits and system conversion. However, through effective strategies and support from all parties, they successfully overcame these difficulties and achieved remarkable results.

Employees found it difficult to break old habits and showed low compliance in the initial stage: despite the installation of separate waste bins, they still tended to discard all trash into their personal desktop bins, rendering precise waste sorting in pantry areas ineffective. Moreover, policies such as not providing disposable cups caused inconvenience and led to resistance.

在推进零废弃办公过程中,团队面对习惯改变、系统转换等多重挑战,但通过有效的策略和各方支持,成功克服困难,取得了显著的成效。

员工旧习惯难以改变,初期配合度低尽管设置了分类垃圾桶,但员工仍习惯将所有垃圾丢入个人桌面桶,导致茶水间的精准分类形同虚设;对于不提供一次性水杯等规定感到不便,存在抵触情绪。

 

After thorough discussions, the project team adopted a combined approach of continuous awareness guidance and economic incentives. On one hand, they repeatedly promoted waste sorting knowledge and the environmental significance of the project through internal emails, promotional posters, kick-off meetings, and other forms of communication. On the other hand, tangible incentives such as "bring-your-own-cup discounts" at the coffee bar were introduced to motivate employees to shift from "passive compliance" to "active participation," gradually fostering new habits.

The success of the project relied on the collaboration and resource investment from multiple parties both inside and outside the company. The leadership at Yangtze Optical Fibre and Cable Joint Stock Limited Company (YOFC) provided special authorization and financial support, which served as the cornerstone of the project by approving the purchase of sorting bins, the renovation of waste disposal rooms, and subsidies for "Bring Your Own Cup" incentives.

项目团队经过重重探讨,通过持续的意识引导和经济杠杆相结合。一方面,通过内部邮件、宣传海报、启动会等形式反复宣导垃圾分类知识和项目环保意义;另一方面,通过咖啡吧“自带杯优惠”等实实在在的激励,让员工从“被动要求”转变为“主动参与”,逐步培养新习惯。

项目的成功离不开公司内外的多方协力与资源投入长飞总部领导对此给予专项授权资金支持。批准采购分类垃圾桶、改造垃圾房、设置“自带杯优惠”补贴等,是项目启动的基石。

 

The property management team, serving as the core implementing body, demonstrated full cohesion and collaboration. They were responsible for the daily maintenance of facilities, the redesign and execution of cleaning procedures, secondary sorting of waste (particularly crucial in the initial stages), and preliminary data collection (such as waste weighing). Their work was fundamental to the successful implementation of the project.

All departments participated simultaneously and assisted in promotion. HR, Administration, Finance, and other teams provided substantial support in areas such as promotional campaigns, process transformation, and employee guidance, working together to integrate the new initiatives into the company culture.

物业团队作为核心执行方全体人员凝心聚力、通力协作,他们负责设施的日常维护、清洁流程的重新制定与执行、垃圾分类的二次分拣(在初期尤为重要)以及数据的初步统计(如垃圾称重),他们的工作是项目落地的保障。

各部门同步参与并协助推广,HR、行政、财务等部门在宣传推广、流程变革、员工引导方面给予了巨大支持,共同推动新规成为公司文化的一部分。

 

Through meticulous planning, sustained communication and education, and well-designed incentive measures, the team overcame challenges related to changing employee habits and restructuring systems. At the same time, they effectively integrated strategic resources from senior management, operational resources from the property management department, as well as supply chain resources from external vendors and processors. This collective effort contributed to the success of the pilot project, with solid data from the first month (0.06 tons of plastic, 0.1 tons of waste paper, and 16.1 tons of food waste recycled) demonstrating the feasibility and significant potential of the initiative.

通过精细化的规划、持续的沟通教育、巧妙的激励措施,克服了员工习惯改变和系统重构的挑战。同时,有效整合了公司高层的战略资源、物业部门的运营资源以及外部供应商和处理商的产业链资源,共同促成了试点项目的成功,并用首月(0.06吨塑料、0.1吨废纸、16.1吨厨余垃圾回收)的扎实数据证明了项目的可行性与巨大潜力。

 

Project Impact & Sustainability

项目影响力、可推广性与可持续性

We have taken the lead in introducing IoT-based control systems in certain areas, gradually phasing out traditional single-timer devices. This system supports real-time monitoring and adjustment of electricity-consuming devices via mobile terminals, offering not only low investment costs but also significantly enhancing control convenience and response speed, effectively eliminating wasteful energy consumption.

为积极响应国家节能减排号召,长飞光纤产业大楼在绿色运营中积极探索低成本、高灵活度的物联网节能技术应用,有效提升了用电设备的精细化管理水平。我们率先在部分区域引入物联网控制系统,逐步替代传统单一时控器。该系统支持远程手机端实时监控和调节用电设备,不仅投入成本低,更大幅提升了调控便利性与响应速度,有效杜绝无效能耗。

 

Meanwhile, we have equipped split air conditioners in computer rooms with infrared temperature-sensing switches, enabling automatic on/off operation within set temperature ranges (e.g., turning on at 26°C and off at 24°C). This achieves unmanned intelligent temperature control, significantly reducing unnecessary runtime of air conditioners and lowering additional energy consumption.

同时,我们为机房分体空调加装了红外感温开关控制器,设定温度区间自动启停(如26℃启动,24℃关闭),实现无人化智能温控,显著减少空调非必要运行时间,降低额外能耗。

 

These two technologies require small investments, deliver quick results, and are easy to replicate. They not only provide new pathways for low-carbon building operations but also serve as valuable models for energy-saving renovations in small and medium-sized computer rooms and office areas. In the future, we plan to extend the application of IoT-based electricity control and infrared temperature-sensing technologies to more scenarios, and explore further integration with building automation systems to continuously tap into energy-saving potential and support the green transformation of the industry.

这两项技术投入小、见效快、易复制,不仅为楼宇低碳运营提供了新路径,也对中小型机房和办公区节能改造具有良好的示范意义。未来,我们计划将物联网控电与红外感温技术扩展至更多应用场景,并探索与楼宇自控系统进一步融合,持续挖掘节能潜力,助力行业绿色转型。
