About 100 Skyring Terrace

Built in 2014, this modern 12-level A-Grade office building features office accommodation and retail amenities. 100 Skyring Terrace is Brisbane’s #1 NABERS rated office building in its class for Growthpoint Properties Australia.

Challenges

A building’s base energy consumption is critical to managing energy efficiency and sustainability.

100 Skyring Terrace was designed with a 4.5 star NABERS (National Australian Built Environment Rating System) rating.

Building owners Growthpoint Properties wanted to further optimize the building’s central chilled water plant, airside systems and mechanical equipment to improve the NABERS rating of the building and to control costs.

Solutions

Over a period of five years, Johnson Controls delivered a data driven maintenance approach leveraging Johnson Controls OpenBlue technologies and facility performance specialists to optimize building operations.

Building optimization efforts included:

  • Optimization assessment and return on investment (ROI) calculations
  • Over 10 improvement strategies related to mechanical facilities and controls delivered with Johnson Controls building automation
  • Chiller plant optimization
  • Ongoing monitoring of equipment and faults delivered with OpenBlue technologies, and dedicated professional maintenance service
  • Delivered for a fixed monthly fee "as a Service"

Results

  • Improved NABERS energy star rating from 4.5 stars to 6 stars and has been maintained since 2019
  • Delivered significant early energy savings in base building with over 1.7 million kWh saved since 2019 and more than $259K in cost savings.
  • Reduced fault hours by 24% year on year through predictive data driven maintenance
  • Increased building efficiency without the CAPEX investments for retrofits
