Queensland Headquarters utilizing cloud-based platform for
operational improvements and improved energy efficiency
BuildingIQ (ASX: BIQ) today announces that it has partnered with
the Springfield Land Corporation (SLC) to implement its cloud-based
platform for creating IoT-enabled buildings, at 6 Yoga Way
Springfield Central which houses GE’s Queensland, Australia
headquarters among other tenants. The 14,000-square meter, AU$72
million futuristic office, located in central business district
(CBD), boasts a stellar reputation for sustainability with a 6 Star
Green Star rating and the Current Performance with a 4 Star NABERS
rating. The building is targeting a 4.5 NABERS rating performance.
BuildingIQ’s 5i platform – built upon the five pillars of data
capture and analysis, modeling, measurement & verification,
control, and human expertise – is being used to add unprecedented
transparency into the building’s operations, maximize occupant
comfort and optimize energy usage.
Through ongoing analysis, the BuildingIQ 5i platform yielded
immediate benefit. The platform has been used to identify high load
within the building and has provided actionable, data-driven
insights for the building manager to streamline operations. The
moment BMS data begins to flow to BuildingIQ’s cloud, pattern and
trend anomalies can potentially be identified and tracked. This
approach also provides the benefits of scale that large portfolio
owners require to manage energy across wide geographies. The same
work that is being done at GE’s building can be replicated
throughout numerous properties. BuildingIQ’s platform enables a
portfolio approach to energy management, with building data from
multiple structures and BMSs being pulled into one central
repository or dashboard.
“We are excited about this strategic partnership to create a
smart city solution using BuildingIQ’s technology,” said Paul
Wyatt, Chief Digital Officer of Springfield Land Corporation.
“There has been a large emphasis on the construction of Greater
Springfield thus far, and creating a digital infrastructure to
optimize operations is just as important. The data-driven approach
that BuildingIQ provides to us through its 5i platform ensures that
we continue to make informed choices that will benefit the
fledgling city as it continues to grow.”
The scalability of BuildingIQ’s platform is significant as the
building is just one structure within the Greater Springfield area.
The development covers 2,860 hectares with 390 hectares dedicated
to the CBD. The dedicated space provides a future employment base
for an estimated 52,000 workers with an area of 2.6 million-square
meter of office, retail, health and technology facilities. With
BuildingIQ’s extensive experience in working to augment BMS’s from
virtually any provider within commercial office spaces, education
campuses, healthcare facilities and retail spaces, there is great
potential for expansion within Springfield. In addition, to the
benefits that daily energy optimization provides, widespread
adoption of the 5i platform would also create the necessary
foundation for the city as a whole to participate in demand
response events.
“It’s inspiring to watch SLC execute on turning Chairman Maha
Sinnathamby’s smart city vision into a reality,” said Michael Nark,
president and CEO of BuildingIQ. “Incorporating our IoT-enabled,
energy management platform will ensure that the city’s building
infrastructure, such as 6 Yoga Way, lives up to its full energy
efficiency potential. Without continuous monitoring and fine-tuning
of controls and operations, even the highest performing buildings
will drift into inefficiency. Incorporating BuildingIQ early in the
building’s life will ensure the proper return on investment is
reached.”
