Strategies – Overall
Save money!!�Don’t replace the existing HVAC infrastructure yet – Rather, recommission
keep the old BMS or Not??
Validate the case for either.
Lot’s of budget is at stake
Don’t add new BMS on the old BMS
Use Open and not closed Systems
Use a system where YOU own your data
Ensure you have cloud based analytics from your provider
Ensure the new system has (FDD) Fault Detection & Diagnostics
Have hybrid of wired and wireless sensors
IAQ Integration & Remediation where required (Mainly healthcare) from your provide
is a must!!!
Single place for data retrieval and visualisation

Case Study 1 – Fujitsu Data Centre
Two halls of Fujitsu’s Noble Park date centre were the first in Australia to have been awarded an official NABERS rating in 2013.
The National Australian Built Environment Rating System (NABERS) is an Australian rating system that measures energy efficiency, water usage, waste management and indoor air quality within the built environment. This rating system, launched in 1998, assesses building infrastructure, hotels, shopping centres and since 2013, data centres.
Bob Sharon conducted the first NABERS audit for a data centre - Fujitsu - in 2013, making him the only fully accredited NABERS assessor for Data centres in Australia at the time. Bob was fully equipped when tackling the unique challenges presented by the plant that supplied power and cooling to 2,000+ sq. m of racks at building one of Noble Park (Halls 1 & 2). The rating was based on 12 months of energy consumption acquired by third-party verifiable data. “The first official NABERS audit resulted in a lot of lessons for all parties involved”, says Bob.
Client testimonial
“The company opted to be the first to achieve a rating to validate its efforts to reduce data centre power consumption. Fujitsu onboarded Bob Sharon because he was already certified and had extensive Data Centre experience”, said Lee Stewart, head of sustainability at Fujitsu Australia.
Case Study 2 – City of Greater Dandenong
The City of Greater Dandenong, a municipality in Melbourne’s south east covering an area of almost 130 square kilometres with over 166,000 residents owns and operates many buildings in the region.
Case Study 3 – Waverley Library
The Waverley Council Library is a 20-year-old facility located in Sydney’s famous Bondi Junction, that provides and supports numerous services, programs and initiatives for elevating the quality of life for the local community. The building comprises multiple offices, a two-floored library spanning 4,000 sqm on each floor, and two underground car park levels of 4,000 sqm each. Its Heating, Ventilation and Cooling System (HVAC) includes one large chiller, 45 variable air volume (VAV) units distributing chilled air, and electric heaters, along with one package HVAC system.
Council Statement:-
With an engagement model based on collaboration and partnership, Blue IoT has been in direct and continual coordination with Bart McGuffin, the Facilities Officer at Waverley Council.
“From a facilities management perspective, the key ability of a building management system is providing a clear visual representation of all components and functions of the HVAC system throughout the building. The capacity to view and control the system via a user-friendly, compatible platform across several devices enables prompt fault detection along with means to make adjustments to the system by both the facilities team and reactive HVAC contractors”, says Bart.
A significant 41% reduction in grid power energy use was recorded for October 2020 by Encompass Blue - Blue IoT’s smart cities management platform suite. These savings were made achievable due to the streamlined HVAC control by Encompass Blue.
