Sunway Warehouse: Energy Monitoring for EECA & ISO 50001

About Sunway

Sunway operates a large enterprise warehouse in Malaysia, the kind of distribution and storage facility that carries a substantial electrical load across lighting, HVAC, dock equipment and material handling. For an operator of Sunway's scale, energy is both a cost to control and a compliance obligation to evidence.

The challenge

A warehouse this size sits squarely in the scope of Malaysia's energy-efficiency rules. Under the Energy Efficiency and Conservation Act (EECA), large consumers are expected to monitor their energy use, manage it actively, and report it. An ISO 50001 energy management system asks for the same foundation: a continuous, reliable record of how much energy is used, where it goes, and whether it is improving over time.

A monthly utility bill does none of that. It is a single number, after the fact, with no breakdown and no trend. Building a compliance case or an energy management system on top of it means reconstructing the picture by hand every cycle.

The solution

Sunway deployed CobiNeural to monitor the warehouse's energy in real time, turning a single bill into a continuous, structured record. The platform sits over the warehouse's existing metering rather than replacing it, so the monitoring goes in without a disruptive retrofit.

- Insights → Energy captures consumption and maximum demand across the facility at fine resolution, with power factor, energy use intensity and trends in one place, so the team sees how the warehouse actually uses energy rather than inferring it from the invoice.
- Reporting turns that data into the documented, repeatable output that EECA-aligned reporting and an ISO 50001 management review need: energy performance indicators, a baseline, and progress measured against it, instead of spreadsheets compiled by hand.
- Because the data is continuous, anomalies and drifts surface as they happen, which is the practical basis for the ongoing improvement an energy management system is meant to drive.

The result

Sunway has the energy data its compliance obligations require, and the visibility to act on it. EECA reporting and ISO 50001 documentation rest on a live, auditable record rather than one rebuilt each cycle, and the same data shows the team where energy is being wasted. Monitoring is the first step; with the record in place, the warehouse can move from reporting its energy use to actively reducing it.
