Equipment and technology guides

A BMS provides automated precision to optimise the energy efficiency of one or more buildings from a single digital interface.

Building management systems

Where compressed air equipment is required, optimisation of efficiency is essential with often high amounts of waste.

Compressed air

Operating data centres is expensive. Best practice in energy efficiency keeps costs down while maintaining reliability.

Data centres

Heating ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems account for up to 50% of a commercial building's energy use.

HVAC

Industry 4.0 technologies have potential to enhance competitiveness and address common industry challenges.

Industry 4.0

Many lighting efficiency opportunities can be easily implemented with little to no investment.

Lighting

Metering, monitoring and control technologies reduce energy consumption while making it more 'visible'.

Metering and monitoring

Motors use substantial power but there is often significant potential for optimising energy efficiency.

Motors and variable speed drives

On a typical industrial site, boilers account for up to 60% of energy costs and 35% of potential energy efficiency improvements.

Process heat and steam

As many refrigeration systems are ageing and inefficient, there is often great potential to reduce energy consumption.

Refrigeration

Australia has a wealth of renewable energy resources and businesses are increasingly investing in these solutions.

Renewable energy

Waste heat minimisation and recovery are two of the most effective ways to reduce energy costs and emissions.
