BEYOND ZERO EMISSIONSDISCUSSION GROUP – MELBOURNE UNIVERSITY
Presentation1. Who is Switch, what do we do?2. The cloud and building systems
• Why did Switch go to cloud?• What did we expect?• What did we experience?• Mistakes we made
3. Case Studies4. The future – our predictions and
market feedback

MESSAGING & ENGAGEMENTCONNECTIVITY
STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT REAL TIME DATA CAN INFLUENCE BEHAVIOUR CHANGE
Behaviour change is about engaging
every stakeholder in the building.
Cloud can deliver that data to
everyone via any web-enabled device
including tenants and visitors in
meaningful ways
SMART, GREEN, CONNECTEDWHY THE CLOUD IS THE FUTURE OF INTELLIGENT BUILDINGS
Cloud delivers a technical architecture capable of supporting the requirements of smart,
green and connected buildings
LESSONS LEARNED WHAT WE THOUGHT VERSUS WHAT REALLY HAPPENED
• Everyone thinks this should be easy
• Sub-metering is a large disappointment
• Utilities/Smart Grid is not the answer
• Cloud means change in revenue model
• It took a lot longer than we expected
• Expected push back – internet outage, security, data location
• Unfounded concerns - Customers expect cloud
• Data ownership is number one concern
• Some customers worry about data sovereignty
• Mistakes – revealing plans to market too early
CONVESSO CONCAVOABOUT THE DEVELOPMENT PROJECT
Australia’s most environmentally sustainable, luxury residential towers Located in Victoria Harbour Melbourne Two towers Convesso - 31 stories, 221 apartments, 12 retail Concavo – 31 stories, 235 apartments, 14 retail. Practical completion – Convesso - July 2012
Ratings 4 Star, Green Star, Green Building Council Australia rating 25 percent reduction target in potable water use 8 Star NatHERS energy rating 4 star WELS rating appliances
Sustainable features include In home displays for energy monitoring Energy efficient lighting and appliances Rainwater tanks, water efficient fixtures and fittings High performance glazing systems Specialist acoustic treatments
SMART, GREEN, CONNECTEDUSE OF AUSTRALIA’S 1ST CLOUD BASED INTELLIGENT BUILDING PLATFORM
Intelligent Building @ Convesso Concavo
The key outcome of this project:
Australia’s 1st cloud based intelligent building platform
for Australia’s most environmentally sustainable, luxury
residential towers called Convesso Concavo.
Achievements
The project achieved a range of industry firsts:
First use of cloud-based residential energy monitoring.
First use of cloud-based home automation.
First residential use of GPON for building automation
system (BAS) communications, Phone & Broadband
First GBCA 4 Star Green Star residential building in
Victoria.

DATA PROBLEMPORTFOLIO OWNERS AND OPERATORS
PROBLEM: Data Acquisition
- Complex
- Expensive
- Error prone
- Time consuming
- Duplicated
- Does not value data
BENEFITS DELIVEREDENTERPRISE WIDE PLATFORM
1. Customer knows and
understands the problem
2. Automated data acquisition
3. Removes supplier dependency
4. Powerful data store for
analysis
5. Future path for more features
A GLOBAL OPPORTUNITYBUILDINGS INDUSTRY TO UNDERGO MASSIVE TRANSFORMATION
“The market for commercial building automation systems is in the midst of revolutionary change in terms of technology and relevance to global energy management.”

DRIVERS FOR CHANGEWHAT THE NEXT GENERATION EXPECTS
1. Generational expectations
2. The underlying technologies support change – cloud, mobile, software
3. Spending in energy efficiency is bringing new companies into traditional market place
Traditional BMS to new technologies
CLOUD LANDSCAPEBUILDING SYSTEMS INDUSTRY IS READY FOR DISRUPTION
BEYOND ENERGY EFFICIENCY THE REAL GOALS OF SUSTAINABILITY
Our view:
“Sustainability is about getting the most out of
what you have”
1. Energy is important but only 2% of
operational costs
2. People are our biggest expense so how do
we remove inefficiency
3. Caretaking our assets – platforms like
Switch will be used to maximise the life of
our assets
