greenhouse gas emissions since implementation. 

BEST COMMERCIAL BUILDING ENERGY MANAGEMENT PROJECT 2022
WINNER: BEYOND NET ZERO, BY PLUMBING INDUSTRY CLIMATE ACTION CENTRE (PICAC)

Recognising performance, leadership and innovation for commercial building
energy management projects.

 

PICAC in Narre Warren, Melbourne, is a state-of-the-art training facility
designed as a zero-energy building, using an integrated solution of passive
design, active design, and renewable energy.

The building uses a combination of renewable technologies, including geothermal,
solar PV, and solar thermal. It is the first Australian building to use building
foundation screw piles for geothermal energy generation. Passive design
strategies and active systems, such as natural lighting and ventilation, in-slab
hydronic heating, and evaporative cooling also help achieve the design aim.

The independent verifier, Deakin University, developed a sensor-based monitoring
system for Net Zero energy accreditation, referring to the US National Renewable
Energy Laboratory guideline.

PICAC achieved a substantial energy positive outcome for the monitored year,
July 2020 to June 2021.  It also delivered an electricity saving of 13,704
kilowatt-hours between March and June 2021 compared to the prior year as a

BEST INDUSTRIAL ENERGY MANAGEMENT PROJECT 2022
WINNER: INCREASED HEAT RECOVERY PROJECT, BY BLUESCOPE STEEL

 
Recognising performance, leadership and innovation for industrial energy
management projects.


 

The project at the Western Sydney Paint Line manufacturing facility maximised
heat recovery in the paint curing ovens reducing natural gas demand.

Each oven has a recycled heat damper, a natural gas burner and combustion air
system to control thermal requirements. As Colorbond products are cured,
volatile components are evaporated and exhausted with the waste gas. This waste
gas, rich in volatile components, is combusted in a regenerative thermal
oxidiser (RTO) and the waste heat absorbed and recovered via refractory media to
recycle back to the curing ovens.

The project minimised exhaust flow to require less cold air input to the ovens;
increased recycled hot air fan capacity with a bigger motor and variable speed
drive to maintain downturn performance; and allowed the ovens and regenerative
thermal oxidiser to cool to a lower standby status when the painting process was
delayed. It also improved the process control system used to balance oven
pressure, minimised ingress of ambient air into the ovens and optimised existing
heat recovery equipment, reducing gas consumption required to maintain oven
temperature.

The project saved 20 per cent of total site natural gas consumption.

BEST RESIDENTIAL ENERGY MANAGEMENT PROJECT 2022
WINNER: ADELAIDE'S FIRST EFFICIENT 10 STAR HOME, BY SUHO

Recognising performance, leadership and innovation for on-farm agricultural
energy efficiency projects.
 
Bundaberg Regional Irrigators Group partnered with the Cayley family and
Bundaberg Sugar Services in an efficiency-first approach to farm irrigation
energy management. The replacement of over 500m of irrigation piping, combined
with extensive weather and soil type analysis to determine optimal irrigations
scheduling resulted in a 42% reduction in energy per tonne of sugarcane
harvested – a surprisingly simple solution with huge potential to lead industry
wide change. The Cayley family are not the only ones benefiting from the success
of the project, they are leading the way in knowledge sharing across the region,
enabling increased uptake in energy reduction measures for irrigation.

Highly commended: Websters Group

 

BEST RESIDENTIAL ENERGY EFFICIENCY PROJECT 2020
WINNER: FERN, BY STEELE ASSOCIATES

Recognising performance, leadership and innovation for residential energy
efficiency projects  

The Fern has been designed as Sydney’s urban oasis and is Australia’s first
Passive House apartments. Set on a challenging, compact city site, passive solar
design was made difficult by adverse site orientation and firewall requirements.
Despite this, FERN is a first class demonstration of what's possible in
residential new builds. Fern achieves passive house principles of stringent air
tightness, continuous unbroken insulation, high performance glazing, structural
thermal breaks, and heat recovery ventilation. The building envelope is highly
efficient, and provides comfortable temperatures.  The 21kW PV system generates
more electricity that the Fern uses, and provides all energy including hot water
and cooking, with no gas connected to the property. 

Highly commended: Gillies Hall by Monash University
