iBEEMS autonomous building energy and indoor-environment management
HDC Labs tested autonomous building control at Yongsan IPARK Mall, which passed energy and air-quality certification
Problem
A large shopping mall had complex energy-use patterns and needed to maintain indoor air quality. HDC Labs sought to manage those conditions with less operator intervention.
Approach
HDC Labs participated in the Dankook University-led iBEEMS research project and provided Yongsan IPARK Mall as an operating test site. The company managed the mall and validated AI-based autonomous control with research partners. In May 2026, the site received certification covering building energy and indoor air quality.
Results
No published figures
Takeaway
The certification covered the operating site rather than a quantified saving attributable to AI. HDC did not disclose an energy-reduction percentage.
