According to the Vietnam Electricity Group (EVN), high-rise buildings in Vietnam consume between 35% to 40% of the national energy, surpassing the consumption of factories, putting significant pressure on the environment. HVAC systems account for about 40% to 60% of energy usage, lighting systems 15% to 20%, office equipment 10% to 15%, and other auxiliary devices make up the rest. Rapid construction growth is increasing energy consumption, negatively impacting the economy and the environment. However, there is still significant potential for energy savings.
What is the solution for businesses?
To ensure efficient building operations, developers are encouraged to regularly monitor energy consumption levels and consider repairing or upgrading infrastructure and electrical systems as needed. This not only helps optimize operational costs and maintain quality but also enhances the project’s reputation and ensures the developer’s business objectives are met. In this regard, Energy Management Systems (EMS) are considered crucial.
So, what is EMS and what benefits does it bring to businesses?
EMS is a set of computer tools designed to monitor, control, and optimize the energy performance of devices or systems. The primary goal of EMS is to minimize energy costs for businesses.
EMS is also part of Akila – a comprehensive digital twin platform for buildings that integrates all systems and subsystems into a single source, eliminating silos and contextualizing each part, process, and performance in relation to the whole. Unlike traditional EMS, Akila integrates all systems and subsystems into a single source, removing barriers and providing context for every part, process, and performance throughout the entire building. The Akila platform is designed to operate with a variety of hardware, making it more flexible and customizable than typical BMS and EMS software.
Akila3d – Digital Twin Platform
The Digital Twin Data Platform is a virtual simulation system that models physical objects or systems in the real world. It is built by integrating data from various sources, including sensors, IoT devices, SCADA systems, and simulation models. The Digital Twin Data Platform can be used to monitor and analyze the performance of physical objects or systems, predict potential issues, and optimize performance.

Benefits of the Digital Twin Data Platform for Building Operations:
- Optimizing the energy efficiency of buildings: The Digital Twin Data Platform can be used to monitor the energy consumption of buildings and identify areas of waste, helping reduce energy costs and improve environmental efficiency.
- Efficient building design and construction: The Digital Twin Data Platform can be used to simulate the energy performance of buildings before construction, helping designers build more energy-efficient buildings.
