Energy and Facility Management

The Group’s second core business is the provision of energy and facility management services. Specifically, this includes:

  • Engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) of district cooling systems 
  • Supply of cooling energy from district cooling systems and related activities
  • Comprehensive energy and facility management services

District cooling systems (DCS) involve the use of a centralized plant that supplies chilled water through a network of underground pipes to heat exchangers in different buildings. The heat exchangers are then used to transfer the cooling energy from the water to the building’s internal chilled water loop. 

A DCS provides many benefits through economies of scale via the use of larger and more efficient chiller systems. Aside from being more beneficial for the environment, the system reduces overall capital and energy costs over the long term. Other benefits include space saving and operating flexibility for individual buildings in the development. 

The Group currently supplies chilled water to the Pagoh Education Hub, Johor and Dataran Pahlawan Megamall, Melaka.

In 2021, the Group further expanded this segment through the acquisition of Tunas Selatan Pagoh Sdn Bhd, which holds a 40% interest in Sime Darby Property Selatan Sdn Bhd. Through concession arrangements, SDPS provides asset management services for the campus facilities and infrastructure of the Pagoh Education Hub (PEH) in Bandar Universiti Pagoh, Johor for a period of 20 years upon completion of construction. PEH comprises of four (4) major higher educational institutions: Universiti Tun Hussein Onn (UTHM), International Islamic University Malaysia (IIUM), Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM), and Polytechnic Tun Syed Nasir Syed Ismail (PTSN).
