Floor area of existing buildings individually assessed for energy performance:
6,508 Square meters

Narrative outlining how building-level energy performance is assessed and how the results are used to improve performance:

The building-level energy peformance was assessed by conducting a full dilapidation audit of the mechanical plant which includes the spaces each serves and the control equipment each space has installed. The results allowed us to indentify hardware gaps and utilise the building tuning approach to make updates to the software control algorithms which includes streamlining the control logic and modify the Daikin pendant settings. This approach will be expanded to other buildings. 


Floor area of existing buildings individually assessed for indoor environmental quality (IEQ) performance:
32,392 Square meters

Narrative outlining how building-level IEQ is assessed and how the results are used to improve performance:

As a response to improve indoor air quality post Covid, CO2 emissions in the Law and Commerce, Sturt North, Sturt East, Sturt South and Central Library buildings have been actively monitored. This was performed through our building management system using fixed in place CO2 sensors/monitors tied to our HVAC system and redeployable remote monitoring stations to target high impact and larger common spaces.
