DC Glenmarie: Energy and Air-Quality Monitoring for High-Value Warehousing

About DC Glenmarie

DC Glenmarie is a logistics and storage facility in Glenmarie, in the Shah Alam industrial belt outside Kuala Lumpur, owned and developed by CapitaLand. It holds inventory on behalf of its clients — including high-value goods for international luxury brands — which makes the building's job twofold: run efficiently as a large industrial load, and hold storage conditions steady enough to protect what is inside it.

For a third-party warehouse, both of those are commercial obligations. Energy is one of the largest controllable costs in the building, and the condition of a client's stock is the service being sold. A humidity excursion or an unnoticed temperature drift is not just a facilities issue; it is a risk to the goods of a brand that expects them returned in the same condition they arrived.

The challenge

A warehouse this size draws a substantial, uneven electrical load — lighting, HVAC, dehumidification, dock equipment and controlled-storage zones all pulling at once. Without sub-interval visibility, the facility only learns its peak demand from the monthly TNB bill, after the charge is already set, and cannot easily tie consumption back to the systems driving it.

Air quality is the quieter, harder risk. Luxury textiles, leather, packaging and cosmetics degrade when temperature and humidity move outside a tight band; condensation, mould and corrosion build slowly and are usually discovered only when goods are inspected. Conventional building systems were not designed to log indoor air quality continuously or to raise the alarm the moment a zone drifts.

The solution

DC Glenmarie runs CobiNeural as a single platform across both problems, overlaying its existing building and equipment systems rather than replacing them.

- Insights → Energy captures consumption and maximum demand at 30-minute and finer resolution, so the team sees the facility's real load profile and the equipment behind each peak — the basis for managing TNB maximum demand instead of absorbing it.
- Insights → IAQ monitors indoor air quality across the storage zones — temperature, humidity and CO2 — so conditions are measured continuously rather than assumed. The team can prove the environment a client's goods were held in, not just claim it.
- Alerts turn those readings into action: when a zone's humidity or temperature drifts toward the range where stored goods are at risk, or an energy anomaly appears, the right person is notified while there is still time to respond.
- Dashboards and Reporting give one operating view of the site and an auditable record — useful both for day-to-day operations and for the assurance a brand client expects from the facility holding its inventory.

The result

Energy and air quality are managed from the same platform instead of in separate, manual silos. The facility sees its demand and its storage conditions live, acts on a drift before it becomes a damaged-goods problem, and can show clients evidence — not assurances — that their stock was held in the right environment.

For a warehouse whose business is protecting other companies' goods, that combination of efficiency and verifiable storage conditions is the service itself. See how other operators run warehouse monitoring, or request a demo to see energy and IAQ monitoring against your own facility.
