A green star for in the home…
Lend Lease is an Australian based, international recognised property and infrastructure development, construction and investment company. Lend Lease is developing several major high-rise residential, retail and commercial towers at Barangaroo, a new development at South Wharf on the edge of Sydney Harbour, which includes public spaces, retail shops, restaurants and a hotel. Focussed on environmental sustainability, Lend Lease has attained more Green Building Council of Australia Green Star ratings than any other developer in Australia. In 2015 Lend Lease selected Metropolis to integrate a cost effective National Electricity Market compliant metering solution with its energy display & monitoring units to be installed in the residential and retail tenancies of the R8 & R9 towers.
Challenge
Rapidly design, test and implement a solution to deliver real time energy usage data to hard wired tenancy display units directly from each meter, enabling Lend Lease to attain further points towards the coveted six star energy rating.
Solution
Metropolis developed an innovative interface unit, able to be mounted adjacent to each meter within the switch room, allowing the display unit vendor to easily integrate its solution without compromising the strict metering compliance standards under the National Electricity Rules.
Outcome
Metropolis successfully installed a market compliant advanced metering solution, complete with display unit interfaces, for hundreds of residential and retail tenancies in the R8 & R9 developments on time and on budget.
