Page 13 - Case study: Data driven energy savings in the Hyperdome shopping centre in Queensland, Australia

With this solution in place, the building will continue to save on costs and energy consumption
while maintaining occupant comfort. The project requires buy-in and effort from the building
management company to maintain and monitor, and to continue to invest the capital needed to
continue the success of this project.

Furthermore, the project significantly reduced energy consumption in a large, marquee building in
Logan City, advancing the city’s vision for implementing sustainable practices and fighting climate
change.

The impacts from this project are briefly indicated below.

o Social Impact

- By implementing this strategic solution at such a high-profile institution, the Hyperdome
paved the way for other businesses in the city to follow suit.

- The Hyperdome occupants’ comfort was maintained without adverse impact on them.

o Economic Impact

- The Hyperdome building company and various outlets in it saved on energy costs, resulting in
direct economic impact.

- Lowered building operational costs are passed on to the consumer, giving them more cash
(disposable income) to spend to stimulate the economy.

- Projects like this provide ample opportunity and demand for private sector companies and
start-ups to invest in energy saving solutions by developing and deploying them.

o Environmental Impact

- The Hyperdome’s energy usage lowered by 12.6% as a result of the project implementation.
Due to the large footprint of the building in the Logan City, this has a massive impact on the
overall sustainability and energy consumption for the city.

- The reduced energy consumption concomitantly reduced the carbon dioxide emissions for
the Logan City, having a positive impact for the environment and the climate change.
