Net Zero Energy Buildings
Research shows that the global commercial building sector accounts for 40% of total carbon emissions. To combat this, and to promote more sustainable solutions, Spaceworx has curated the best-in-class software, hardware and services from around the world to create bundle solutions that take you on a journey to a Net Zero energy building.
We provide a full range of smart and innovative energy conservation and optimisation solutions and services to help you improve energy efficiency, make gains through renewable energy generation, and enhance indoor environment quality of your office, building or portfolio of buildings.
Components of a Net Zero Energy Building Solution
Bring Net Zero energy components together to lower your building’s energy and carbon footprint!
Decarbonise heating, cooling and ventilation, and increase energy efficiency by recovering waste heat, introducing thermal storage, or combining heating and cooling into a fully electric heat-pump system. This eliminates the need for gas boilers, increasing efficiency by over 300%. If drawn from a green grid, these can be a zero-emissions solution for buildings.
- Keep occupants healthy and comfortable with 24/7 optimal temperature
- Reduce energy usage and carbon emissions
- Get one step closer to reaching your sustainability goals and reducing your building’s carbon footprint
External shading devices are essential environmental controls that help reduce the need for mechanical heating and cooling to maintain thermal comfort inside a building, as it prevents unwanted solar heat gain from entering a conditioned space. Shading can be provided by natural landscaping or by building elements such as overhangs and trellises. Interior glare control devices such as Venetian blinds or adjustable louvers with auto-control capabilities can also be installed for further energy optimisation.
- Prevent the penetration of direct sunlight into your building during the summer months and reduce the temperature indoors
- Allow the wanted solar radiation gains during the cooler seasons, reducing heating demands and improving the well-being of occupants
- Enhance the thermal comfort and energy performance of your building
LED lighting helps reduce carbon attributed to building construction. It can be easily integrated with other building systems, increasing occupancy and light-based operational efficiencies. For a building retrofit, LED lighting can significantly reduce energy consumption compared to fluorescent and other lighting solutions. It also has a longer lifespan.
- Replace fluorescent lighting with LED lighting to gain up to 85% energy savings
- Be more environmentally-friendly, as a single LED bulb can minimise greenhouse gas emissions by almost half a tonne
- Incorporate motion or occupancy sensors to increase how efficiently you use LED lighting
Leverage occupancy sensors to transition from manually controlled-lighting and AC operations to smart occupancy-based controls for optimised energy utilisation.
- Automatically adjust temperature and lights according to occupancy, available daylight, or thermal comfort
- Increase the lifespan of your HVAC systems and light bulbs due to more efficient and optimal usage
- Enhance occupant comfort by programming user preferences into the control panel
Monitor and analyse your building’s utility usage to identify energy wastage and energy optimisation opportunities, in order to achieve energy costs savings and sustainability targets.
- Observe trends and insights with real-time visualisation of utility consumption and identify areas for improvement
- Set a threshold on utility consumption and respond when thresholds are exceeded, based on real-time alerts
- Monitor energy assets in real-time for health, performance and optimisation
Proactively identify building system malfunctions and optimisation opportunities before they lead to excessive waste of resources and energy, occupant discomfort or complete system failure.
- Expand your ability to optimise energy consumption and reduce energy costs by identifying the variables in your building’s energy consumption patterns and providing detailed insights about HVAC, lighting, refrigeration and hot water equipment performance
Save thousands of dollars in energy costs each year by switching to sustainable, green, renewable energy generated from a solar photovoltaic system. Become energy independent and less reliant on the power grid. With the addition of energy storage, your building can achieve an even higher level of independence.
- Reduce cost of electricity and other utilities and make them obsolete over time, even though the initial cost will be high
- Reduce the carbon footprint of your building with a cleaner source of energy
- Become energy independent with a solution that requires minimal maintenance and has a long service lifetime
Water heating accounts for over 5% of a commercial building’s energy use. Switch to a more cost effective method of generating hot water for your building with solar water heaters.
- See an average of at least a 50% reduction in your building’s water-heating energy usage, and more if located in a sunny city
- Heat your building’s water directly from the sun’s rays, which is much more efficient and environmentally friendly than other conventional methods
- Reduce your carbon dioxide emissions with a renewable heating system
