INTELLIGENT GREEN TECHNOLOGY
S
un Plaza is one of the most
recognised commercial buildings in
Maslak district of Istanbul, Turkey
with its construction safety quality, and
high technology systems. The 37-floor
commercial building covers 30,000 m2
office space and 50,000 m2 total areas.
Since the building opened its doors to
occupants in 2005, the facility constantly
maintains its building to ensure the safety
of occupants and operational efficiency of
the building.
It has continued to achieve this by
implementing the latest technology
systems and set new standards in efficient
facility management. Sun Plaza in Turkey
has ISO 9001: 2008, ISO 1400: 2004,
OHSAS 18001: 2007 certifications on
Plaza Management and Operations.
Sun Plaza has been a service customer
of Honeywell for more than ten years.
Previously, Honeywell installed
traditional preventative maintenance
service. This includes Fan Coil Unit
automation, Variable Air Volume
and Heating, Ventilation, and Air
Conditioning control systems, Enterprise
Building Integrator R430, XL10s,
XL5000s, and Zone Managers.
Since the competition in commercial
buildings is increasing day by day, the
escalation in rental fees is becoming
an important challenge for facility
management managers. Therefore, Sun
Plaza is working on achieving success
through investments in new technologies
and automated processes instead of
manual labor and systems. To that end,
the facility management defines the top
growth drivers for itself.
Some of the initiatives that Sun Plaza
has adopted include:
To leverage new technologies that
standardise the business processes
for further consistency and quality of
services across the building, resulting
in more comfort, energy savings,
and superior air conditioning for the
benefit of various tenants
Modify processes from labor intensive
activities to value based activities
Achieve significant energy savings
through predictive solutions which
have a direct impact on business
costs, resulting in optimum service
to customers
Provide data transparency to
customers and tenants including
visibility and timely access to data at
different levels
Leverage new building technologies
as a resource to measure increasing
customer demands, while reducing the
cost of delivering those services
Allow free time for staff and reserve
more time for their core activities

that enhance the overall operational
efficiency of the building.
Based on the long-term relationship
with Sun Plaza, Honeywell was keen to
meet their customer needs. The Honeywell
team proposed and implemented a pilot
project to demonstrate the benefits of
their Outcome Based Services by moving
the facility operation approach from
preventative to predictive.
Honeywell delivered six months trial
of Outcome Based Service across four
floors of the building by focusing on the
airside systems and systems associated
with occupant comfort and complete
replacement of the previous system
with Outcome Based Service. After 24x7
monitoring and analysis of the building
performance the following was achieved:
