 Two broad categories need addressing: New buildings and existing buildings. The key difference is that existing buildings have a point of reference against which we are able to compare improvements. PowerSense operates in both categories. New Buildings PowerSense works with consulting engineers and architects to extend the planning work and lighting designs (off building design / CAD files etc)matching appropriate sensors to required function, optimising sensor positions, and using software to check sensor switching capacity and daylighting lux levels. This also applies to complete building retrofits off plan. Existing buildings with tenants PowerSense’s speciality is retrofitting occupied buildings which can be installed without disruption. Being removable, the PowerSense solution can deliver savings immediately, and can then be removed and reinstalled as part of a major retrofit. Therefore there is no need to wait for a building’s major retrofit cycle to act. While each building is different, PowerSense can verify and prove the ROI and savings up front with our unique diagnostic toolset and methodology. Research by Davis Langdon suggests that 85% of Australian stock is older than 10 years and almost 60% of NLA (net lettable area) is made of B, C & D grade buildings (2* or less). To achieve 40% GHG reductions, all building stock would need to be upgrade to a minimum 4.5*. The same report suggests that to raise the star rating from 1* to 2*would cost $1.78m (20,000m2).PowerSense averages less than one sixth this cost, in many situations delivering more than 1 star. With PowerSense’s free installation options enable the benefits without the upfront costs. |
