Arup and the MTR Corporation have jointly received two awards at the IFMA Asia Pacific Awards of Excellence 2024, recognising their outstanding performance in ESG achievement, and innovation and technology application in facility management.
 

MTR Carbon Digital Platform 
Excellence Award in ESG Achievement 

As a low-carbon public transport provider, MTR is committed to achieving its 2030 science-based carbon reduction targets. To support these efforts, Arup worked closely with MTR to develop the Carbon Digital Platform that consolidates carbon data from MTR’s extensive portfolio of railway and investment property assets, covering 99 stations, 271km of track, 13 depots, 16 shopping malls and 4 office buildings. 

The platform offers an efficient, systematic and user-friendly means to collect diverse carbon data across various business units and functions. Its interactive data visualisation capabilities provide insights into carbon footprints, supporting informed decision-making. A robust data review mechanism with multi-level data checks ensures data quality and reliability, enabling MTR to effectively monitor the carbon reduction progress towards achieving its carbon reduction targets.
 

Energy Enhancement for ELEMENTS 
Excellence Award in Innovation and Technology Application in Facility Management 

Owned and managed by MTR, ELEMENTS is a prominent shopping mall atop Kowloon Station, serving as a hub for tourists and residents since 2007 and covering more than one million square feet.

As the technical and sustainability consultant, Arup led an energy management assessment to identify operational improvement opportunities and refine the logic based on operation data and on-going commissioning efforts. Working with Neuron as the technology advisor, Arup evaluated the existing physical and digital infrastructure, developed AI and machine learning workflows and methodologies, and incorporated existing systems into Neuron. Through continuous discussions, on-site trials, and performance reviews, these models were implemented onto an intuitive, all-encompassing platform for daily management and operations, enhancing energy performance and customer experience.
 

 

Organised by the International Facility Management Association (IFMA), the award recognises outstanding achievements in facility management across the Asia-Pacific region and celebrates excellence in various categories, highlighting innovative practices, sustainability, and effective facility management.
