100 Skyring Terrace Building Improves NABERS rating from 4.5 to 6

100 Skyring Terrace’s mechanical and control systems were not fully optimized to meet higher NABERS energy rating targets. High baseline energy consumption limited overall efficiency and sustainability performance, while operational costs remained elevated due to inefficiencies in the chilled water plant and airside systems.

The team at 100 Skyring Terrace embraced a proactive, data-driven approach to transform building performance. By leveraging OpenBlue Equipment Performance, they gained actionable insights to optimize mechanical systems and controls. Ten targeted improvement strategies were implemented to reduce energy consumption and enhance reliability. Predictive maintenance and continuous monitoring ensured improvements were sustained over time, driving measurable efficiency gains without costly retrofits.

By acting on data insights and committing to operational improvements, 100 Skyring Terrace significantly reduced energy consumption and costs while improving reliability. These changes helped the building achieve a top NABERS rating and maintain high performance without major capital expenditure.

• Improved NABERS energy star rating from 4.5 stars to 6 stars and has been maintained since 2019.
• Delivered significant early energy savings in base building with over 1.7 million kWh saved since 2019 and more than $259K in cost savings.
• Reduced fault hours by 24% year on year through predictive data driven maintenance.
• Increased building efficiency without the CAPEX investments for retrofits.

Built in 2014, this modern 12-level A-Grade office building features office accommodation and retail amenities. 100 Skyring Terrace is Brisbane’s #1 NABERS rated office building in its class for Growthpoint Properties Australia.
