5 MARTIN PLACE Project Overview 5 Martin Place is an A-grade office tower in Sydney’s CBD using the government-backed NABERS rating system to drive performance across energy, water, and waste. NABERS Waste offers a consistent, national approach to waste measurement that aids comparison between buildings, and 5 Martin Place management was keen to improve their rating. In addition to offices, the building houses several retail tenancies including fashion, electronic, travel goods and food service. Many of the retail tenants sell items that are delivered to their stores in individual clear plastic bags, which were going to the building’s landfill stream and sometimes contaminating recycling streams. Space in the 5 Martin bin room was confined, making the task of manoeuvering bins for multiple recycling streams difficult.

ROYAL INSTITUTE FOR DEAF AND BLIND CHILDREN Project Overview The Royal Institute for Deaf and Blind Children is an educational institution in NSW with 20,000m2 of built-up area across 14 buildings. Seeking to reduce their energy costs and carbon footprint, they sought assistance from Energy Conservation to improve their energy efficiency. Following systematic sub-metering, data-analysis and site inspections, Energy Conservation devised a strategy to implement cost-effective efficiency measures. We built business cases for each unique measure, and with client approval we delivered procurement support and turnkey project management to implement the following: Rebuild of power factor correction unit Optimisation of head pressure control in chiller plant Adiabatic pre-cooling for air-cooled chiller Optimisation of HVAC cycles & operating schedules Digital time-clocks for electric hot water systems Replacement of timers for A/C supply fans Installation of evacuated tube solar hot water systems to replace deteriorated electric systems From September 2014 onwards, the Institute has recorded significant reductions in energy consumption and carbon emissions as a direct result of these measures, with no reduction in level of service.

MARINA SQUARE HIGH EFFICIENCY CHILLERS Project Overview Marina Square’s new retail, commercial and residential development in Wentworth Point required air-cooled water chillers to service the HVAC system of a 12,000 sqm retail centre including common areas and over 45 retail tenancies. Management installed two Daikin high efficiency air-cooled chillers and engaged Energy Conservation to deal directly with suppliers and contractors to ensure funding eligibility compliance. By capturing and collecting evidence and comparing efficiencies, Energy Conservation calculate savings through the Installation of High Efficiency Appliances for Business (IHEAB) method on Marina Square’s behalf and create Energy Savings Certificates which are sold as financial rewards. Marina Square received $57,198 in funding for installing high efficiency equipment. In addition, ongoing annual savings of $44,000 in electricity costs are realised through the reduction of the equivalent of 295 megawatt hours of usage, which in turn decreases Marina Square’s carbon footprint by 271 tonnes of CO2-e emissions annually.
