< Back ROYAL INSTITUTE FOR DEAF AND BLIND CHILDREN EC Focus helped the Royal Institute for Deaf and Blind Children cut energy use and emissions across 14 buildings by implementing targeted efficiency upgrades from HVAC and hot water systems to chiller optimisation. Date: 2014 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.

< Back 130 GEORGE ST LIFT UPGRADE 130 George Street upgraded its lifts, achieving verified energy savings of 83% annually in lift power and motor room cooling, with EC Focus providing expert measurement, verification, and securing financial rewards through Energy Savings Certificates. Date: 2018 130 George Street is a 5-star NABERS energy-rated building with 14 levels of office space owned and managed by Dexus. The building uses seven lifts which were nearing the end of their operational life when an upgrade was initiated in 2015. Prior to the upgrade, Dexus installed sub-metering of the lift system. This allowed the impact of the upgrade to be measured by providing energy consumption data both before and after the upgrade. Energy Conservation was engaged to verify the energy savings according to the International Performance Measurement and Verification Protocol, providing the expert analysis and interpretation needed to translate the raw data into useful information for the building manager and create financial rewards in the form of Energy Savings Certificates. We found that the upgrade resulted in average annual savings of 83% in energy needed to power the lifts and cool the motor room. Our engineers were able to quantify and verify this reduction in energy consumption to an international standard as well as state the confidence interval and the precision of the annual savings that resulted. Our broad experience managing projects involving numerous interested parties enabled us to smoothly coordinate the supply of information to deliver this project quickly and professionally.
