Download Case Study24.7% savings on energy and deliver exceptional comfort to its employees.
Challenge:
When Flipkart approached 75F, one of the primary problems they faced was inconsistent hot and cold spots across the office spaces in their buildings. Additionally, they lacked the scheduling of the AHUs. Also, there was no building management system (BMS) in place. The site was managed by a small thermostat to control the valve, with all of their 60 AHUs manually controlled. The client wanted a solution that could help them save on energy costs and improve the energy efficiency of the HVAC operations.
Solution:
In one of the largest and one-of-its-kind, retrofit energy-saving projects, 75F competed against a legacy BMS provider and won the project based on technical and installation competencies. For the project, 75F provided DAB, DCWB, and IAQ applications to all three blocks in Flipkart’s ETV campus to save energy, eliminate thermal discomfort, deliver end-to-end automation, and provide completely customizable energy dashboards.
Installation and Execution
When 75F got on board, Flipkart had already opened its office to its employees. Although the occupancy wasn’t as high as that during pre-COVID times, it added to the challenge of the retrofit installation work. However, because of its retrofit-friendly technology stack, 75F could install its solutions without requiring any duct modifications. Indeed, the out-of-the-box solution avoided noisy and space-consuming onsite duct fabrication work.
Results:
The 75F solutions engineered to meet Flipkart’s facility management objectives resulted in reduced energy consumption while ensuring superior ambient air quality. Added features such as live reporting and insight-driven data metrics with intuitive user interface dashboards optimized operational efficiency and enabled the e-commerce brand to deliver on its excellent working environment to its employees.
Incremental Saving in Energy Efficiency
75F’s smart solution has brought significant savings and efficiencies to the Flipkart campus achieving energy savings of 12,55,033kWh. That is a 24.7% saving as compared to the baseline consumption. In the graph below, the green graph represents expected energy savings till date. With this concerted effort, CO2 emissions have been substantially reduced by 9,91,476 tons, an accomplishment equivalent to planting 14,683 trees. Furthermore, this reduction has facilitated the annual electrification of 1,419 homes in rural areas, marking significant progress towards sustainability and environmental stewardship.
Fast and Uninterrupted Installation
Installation of sensors or controllers in an operational site is a difficult task. However, due to 75F’s wireless communication devices, it was relatively easily achieved. The entire end-to-end installation took merely 45 days.
Elevated Comfort Levels
Within a short span of the project commissioning, the client witnessed a reduction in the hot and cold spot complaints from facility occupants. Additionally, the improved air quality brought the Flipkart campus accolades by earning the prestigious UL Certification for IAQ management.
