6-Gram Revolution: 건물 탈탄소화 및 사람 연결

Carbon Footprint of Traditional Intercoms: Existing wired intercom systems in apartments and buildings require the installation of numerous hardware components such as wiring and devices, resulting in significant carbon emissions during manufacturing and operation. For example, a 50-unit building can generate 26 tons of CO₂ over 10 years.Intercoms are criticized as a"forgotten carbon hole".

Maintenance and Limitations: Wired intercoms have high installation costs and are difficult to install in cultural heritage sites or old buildings where structural modifications are challenging. They also consume significant standby power, leading to energy waste, and lack smart features, reducing resident convenience. With existing methods, it has been difficult to achieve both digital transformation and carbon reduction in building communication simultaneously.

"Dematerialization" of Hardware: The biggest innovation is replacing kilograms of equipment and wiring with a single 6g NFC/smart tag. By simply attaching a wireless/powerless sticker tag, the existing intercom is completely replaced, eliminating the need for construction or wiring. This removes the embodied carbon from equipment production and installation, and also eliminates operating carbon such as standby power.

AI-Based Digital Assistant: The solution's G.Talk platform uses AI voice recognition and summarization to automatically record and summarize conversations between visitors and residents, providing memory assistance. For example, users with memory impairments, such as elderly individuals with dementia, can later review conversation summaries, increasing inclusivity.

Interface Accessible to Everyone: Without the need for complex app installations, visitor authentication or calls are made with a single smartphone touch on the tag, making it easy for people with low digital literacy to use. In other words, it features an accessibility that does not exclude people with disabilities or the elderly, with a "Born Equal" design philosophy.

Maintenance Convenience: Since only a tag needs to be attached, it can be immediately applied to existing buildings, cultural properties, parking lots, etc., and operates without batteries or power, requiring almost no maintenance. In addition, cloud connectivity facilitates the expansion of additional services such as community announcements and package delivery notifications.

B2B (Real Estate Developers/Building Owners): Building operators of apartment complexes, office buildings, etc., are the main buyers. New buildings can adopt it to promote eco-friendly smart buildings, and existing apartments/offices can be customers such as management offices or building owners who want to introduce smart intercoms without remodeling. In the public sector, public rental housing or cultural heritage building management organizations may be considered.

B2G/Local Governments: Local governments promoting carbon-neutral building expansion policies at the city level can adopt it as a pilot project. For example, it can be used for smartening old apartment buildings in Seoul or other local governments, enabling B2G distribution.

Few Environmental/National Restrictions: The 6-Gram Revolution solution can be applied to any building worldwide as long as there is internet connectivity and smartphone penetration. It is suitable for buildings in developing countries with insufficient wiring or power infrastructure, and can be installed in untouchable places such as cultural heritage buildings. In other words, it is a general-purpose solution with almost no market restrictions.

Expansion to Other Industries: Currently focused on building access/intercoms, the low-power smart tag and AI summarization technology can be expanded to smart city community platforms or industrial facility monitoring. For example, it can be applied to various communication touchpoints such as parking lot control and communication networks within smart factories.

Praised for Carbon Reduction Impact: The CES judges highly praised the product's direct contribution to decarbonizing the building sector. The figure of 26 tons of CO₂ reduction over 10 years by eliminating existing hardware is impactful.“Born Green”design philosophy is clear. Technology media also praised it for "fundamentally redefining building communication."

Technical Completeness: Performance has already been verified through smart building field applications in Taiwan, and feedback indicates that AI summarization functions are also at a practical level. In addition, no particular weaknesses have been revealed in terms of scalability or security (anti-hacking) for hundreds of households, making it a mature solution.

Market Expectations: The construction and real estate industries are paying attention to it as a solution that meets remodeling demand and ESG management trends. EE Times introduced this product as an innovation award winner in the sustainability and energy transition sector, emphasizing the reduction of 26 tons of CO₂ over 10 years and the replacement of large-scale systems with small tags. However, it is also pointed out that the conservative perceptions of elderly building owners or some residents may slow down the initial adoption rate.
