1. Do you Strategize?

No

A. Does your customer have a decarbonization plan with milestones? If so, please share your roadmap/plan.

B. Have you or your customer completed Sustainability School? If so, please share the Sustainability School completion certificate

2. Do you Digitize?

Yes

A. Are you helping a customer deploy centralized utility data management and monitoring software for energy and carbon analysis and reporting?

We worked with our client to develop and install a strategic solution across their building portfolio that delivers accurate and timely data across key meter points. This data will be extracted into a data management and monitoring solution and will help our client to make informed decisions with respect to their energy consumption, production and carbon emissions. Previously, energy data was missing and ad hoc which affected both reporting accuracy and optimal load management, potentially adding to higher than necessary energy consumption and emissions. We designed and installed a system to address this and make our client’s building portfolio data ready, providing accurate and timely data across multiple devices which can be accessed by anyone. This data has enabled the client to be able to collate information easily and often through extraction into their reporting systems, in order for them to take corrective actions that will improve the efficiency and effectiveness of their energy solutions. The outcome of the building data provided will help our client to achieve their sustainability targets, improve their sustainability rating (as measured by NABERS) and support them to deliver their ESG reporting requirements.

B. With your help, is a customer metering major energy loads to uncover opportunities to reduce energy consumption and emissions?

Yes, we worked collaboratively with our client to replace current systems and install capability that meters their major energy loads across a portfolio of 5 commercial buildings. With this data, the client is able to make informed decisions at an aggregate level to optimise load and take advantage of opportunities to reduce energy consumption. This will help our client make strategic decisions to achieve their sustainability targets and reduce their carbon footprint.

C. Are you helping a customer monitor energy efficiency and equipment performance to gain actionable insights?

Yes, we are providing the data and the insights into a data management system and we are using that system to help the client drive efficiencies across their portfolio. We have designed the building automation and building services to ensure that all the information is ready for anyone to capture, aggregate and develop actionable insights. We are working with the client to help them with the performance of their equipment.

D. Are you enabling a customer to use power management and monitoring solutions to assess power quality and increase business resiliency and continuity?

E. On behalf of a customer, have you deployed innovations to maximize the efficiency and digitalization of their operations?

Yes, we have implemented optimisation on various building services (e.g. electrical and hydraulic metering and general HVAC services). This will help our client to optimise their energy usage across their building portfolio and to also help their clients who are tenants of the building, to optimise their energy consumption and running costs. This supports our client to both save money and gain access to better clients as they are all seeking access to 5 star rated buildings.

F. Have you implemented asset upgrades and modernization programs for a customer to optimize and increase the longevity of their plant equipment and avoid emissions ?

No, not yet but this is in planning and the system deployed will support this activity . Of particular interest are replacement of legacy Gas Fired systems with Electric Heat pumps

G. Have you embraced the digital integration of power and process for a customer as a way to minimize energy consumption while optimizing their process?

Our team are our client’s champions , we encourage new technology in every instance.

3. Do you Decarbonize?

Yes

A. Are you enabling a customer to use automation and energy management systems to control their equipment and systems?

We are

B. With your help, has a customer implemented practices that have increased their energy efficiency?

C. Are you enabling a customer to use renewables (PPAs, EACs, or onsite generation) for at least a portion of their energy needs? What percentage of their electricity is covered by renewables?

Nil at this stage

D. To minimize Scope 2 emissions, have you helped a customer source energy through offsite renewable energy power purchase agreements or Energy Attribute Certificates?

E. With your help, is a customer using electricity from onsite renewable energy generation to reduce Scope 2 emissions?

F. Have you implemented energy storage for a customer?  Elaborate.

G. Have you equipped a customer to aggregate distributed generation assets to maximize economic value and grid impact?

H. Are you helping a customer reduce carbon emissions by focusing on energy efficiency and decarbonization in their operations?

I. With your help, has a customer reduced their carbon footprint through modernization projects that focus on energy efficiency and decarbonization?

No, not yet but this is in planning and the system deployed will support this activity . Of particular interest are replacement of legacy Gas Fired systems with Electric Heat pumps

J. Have you helped a customer implement practices to increase energy efficiency in their operations?

K. Have you helped a customer create a commitment program with their suppliers to reduce Scope 3 emissions?

L. With your help, has a customer adopted a commitment program with their upstream suppliers and downstream distribution partners to track and reduce Scope 3 emissions?

M. Have you enabled a customer to use digital modeling to capture embodied carbon data from materials and equipment?

N. Have you helped a customer incorporate electric vehicle charging infrastructure for fleets, employees, and/or customers into their operations? 

As the EV charging Badge is very new to our offer arsenal, we are currently reviewing existing portfolio sites for suitability.

O. With your guidance, has a customer converted some of their fleet to electric vehicles?

P. Have you enabled a customer to electrify some of their operations to reduce Scope 1 emissions and enable use of renewables to shrink their carbon footprint? What percentage of your customer's operations have been electrified?

Q. Have you advised a customer to purchase low-embodied carbon materials and equipment?

We offer Low Smoke Zero Halogen ( LSZH) cabling as an option to projects for consideration should cost restraints not inhibit.

R. With your help, is a customer using condition-based maintenance to extend equipment life, delay the purchase of new equipment, and reduce the associated embodied carbon?

This will be the outcome of currently installed BMS solution once historical data is proven and reviewed.

S. Based on your advice, is a customer purchasing carbon offsets to balance any residual Scope 1 and 3 emissions?

T. Are you helping a customer reduce water usage through improved operations and a focus on efficiency? 

U. Have you enabled a customer to monitor and adjust water usage based on water availability risks and forecasts? 

We monitor potable and Non-Potable ( Rainwater) for usage and management.

V. Have you helped a customer create optimization programs for clean-in-place operations, e.g., water and wastewater treatment and recovery programs, focused on efficiency? 

W. With your help, is a customer procuring circular materials and minimizing waste in their operations?

X. Have you helped a customer develop a plan to move their fossil energy-based processes to electrification?

No, not yet but this is in planning and the system deployed will support this activity . Of particular interest are replacement of legacy Gas Fired systems with Electric Heat pumps
