ISS launches Capital Projects services to assist corporates in re-imagining workspaces

ISS, the world leading workplace experience and facility management company, announced the launch of Capital Projects as new service offerings in China to further strengthen its capability in Technical Services. By focusing on the service contents of engineering and energy, fit-out and refurbishment, and project management consultancy, ISS China aims to assist clients in establishing differentiated competitiveness in an increasingly changing environment while creating a people-oriented and innovative workplace.

 

"The world of work has changed, as has the purpose of the workplaces. How can the workplaces help enterprises improve business performance? How can companies maintain optimal resilience and value of their assets? What can be done to integrate sustainability into the workplace? These are some of the most critical considerations that mature organizations need continuously evaluate and optimize. ISS can identify the latest trends in the workplace and provide solutions to customers’ upgrade needs based on our resources, experience and professional expertise with global coverage and consistency", says Cindy Wang, CEO of ISS China.

 

ISS China will provide the whole spectrum of Capital Projects services, from the conceptual design to the project delivery to assist customers in creating the best-in-class workplace practices, improving business efficiency, attracting and retaining talents, and supporting their sustainability agenda. The following areas are included in China’s Capital Projects service scope:

 

• Engineering and Energy, including HVAC and mechanical systems, electrical and lighting systems, building and environmental intelligent control, energy management and consultancy services. Following asset lifecycle management methodologies with a focus on reliability, ISS not only provides daily facility operation maintenance and repair services, but also offers customers the full life cycle services, such as consultancy, management, renovation and optimization in terms of Engineering and Energy during the construction and improvement period of the asset, to ensure the optimal cost efficiency.

   

• Fit-out and refurbishment, including office decoration and renovation, restaurant decoration and renovation, pure space, waterproofing and roofing projects, lighting renovation, carpet renovation, exhibition hall and other capital projects. Equipped with the necessary qualifications, such as the General Contracting of Building Construction Engineering, Professional Contracting of Building Decoration, Professional Contracting of Building Electrical & Mechanical Installation, and Safety Production License, ISS is able to practice self-delivery to the fullest extent possible in order to meet the needs of various capital projects while reducing the subcontracting costs for customers. Based on its facility management services, the ISS team’s familiarity with the customer workplace allows it to connect daily operational practice with insights and data, to provide the customer with the best fit-out and refurbishment solutions for their strategic needs.

   

• Project management consultancy for the client's office buildings, manufacturing sites, school campuses and catering places. ISS can provide project management throughout the process to improve the construction quality and safety level to secure a successful delivery. With an emphasis on strategic planning and efficiency, ISS can reduce defect changes to shorten the project duration, while boost productivity.

 

Liu Houyou, Head of Technical Services at ISS China, talks about benchmarking service cases: "For a global technology company client, we successfully reduced the energy consumption of its laboratories by about one third. We found that replacing the old water-cooled air conditioning chillers with more efficient air-cooled units would make a huge difference and reduce the noise by more than 10%. In another case, we conducted an energy audit for a large FMCG company’s R&D center to explore the optimal implementation strategy for energy conservation and emission reduction. Our technical team mastered and evaluated the status of energy consumption and analyzed the causes of energy waste and low efficiency use. Finally, we provided six no-cost/low-cost energy saving suggestions and five system optimization options which would lead to an energy saving of 904,668 kWh annually, equivalent to reducing 356 metric tons of CO2 emissions per year. "

Cindy Wang, CEO of ISS China, continues: "As part of our Integrated Facility Services solutions, the newly launched Capital Projects service is based on the assets owned or used by our existing customers. The comprehensive understanding of the workplace enables us to not only provide insights for customers' business, facilities and equipment functions at sites, but also support their human resources, demand planning, decision-making process, finance and future strategic deployment. "

With the increasingly rising energy price and environmental issues, more and more enterprises have set their sustainability targets. Most of them have prioritized energy saving and efficiency improvement as reflected in the demand for redesign, renovation or further upgrading of workplaces and the retrofit of facilities and equipment systems. Thanks to a global platform, extensive supply chain, various project delivery experience and our professional Technical Services teams, ISS can proactively identify the pain points during site operation and develop appropriate solutions for customers with reasonable budgets to add value to the whole life cycle of assets while creating a future-oriented green workplace.
