With Australia’s large-scale infrastructure projects facing financial pressure and public scrutiny, it is important that developers and operators of these projects incorporate new technologies and continuous improvement methodologies into the design, construction and maintenance of infrastructure projects.
How can Energetics help?
Energetics works with public and private (including PPP) developers and operators of hospitals, roads and tunnels, ports, and rail to support the design and construction of infrastructure development through predicting and verifying energy usage. We help our clients achieve competitive advantage through strategic project identification, program management, implementation and ongoing monitoring, reporting and advisory services.
We can help you realise cost savings for new and existing infrastructure projects through:
-
providing advice on metering strategies and KPIs, ensuring contractual obligations are upheld
-
energy modelling for proposed and existing facilities to predict energy consumption over the life of the facility
-
energy auditing of existing infrastructure to understand energy consumption data (kWh) and identify opportunities for energy efficiency improvements and peak load demand management across sites, buildings, tenancies, activity areas, etc.
-
conducting energy assessments and reporting (Energy Efficiency Opportunities and Assessment and Reporting Schedule), streamlining reporting requirements, and preparations for external audit and verification
-
supply chain analysis and carbon footprinting to identify your carbon exposure, risks and opportunities
-
NABERS assessments: our accredited assessors assess the environmental impacts of buildings (energy, water, waste and indoor environment) in accordance with environmental rating schemes
-
development of strategies to prioritise the implementation of identified savings across a portfolio of opportunities using tools such as abatement curves to maximise the organisational benefits
-
business case development for funding and financing of energy efficiency improvements through various schemes: Energy Savings Scheme (ESS, VEET), Energy Upgrade Agreement, Energy Performance Contracting and government grants
-
financial modelling to provide understanding of the value attributed to the identified opportunities. In many cases this will incorporate additional funding and financing of energy efficiency improvements through various schemes:
-
implementing energy and carbon management solutions to maximise the performance of new or existing sites, such as renewable onsite power generation, energy-efficient lighting, refrigeration, lifts and escalators, hot water systems, heating, ventilation and air-conditioning (HVAC), water capture, saving and storage systems
-
monitoring retrofit performance though our proven measurement and verification methodology using Australia’s largest team of professionals accredited to the International Performance Measurement and Verification Protocol (IPMVP)
-
facilitating innovative contracting such as leasing and Energy Performance Contracting to ensure capital investment for Energy Conservation Measures is recouped through utility bill savings that result from the project
