Buildings as Batteries

Offices, big sheds & special purpose buildings

A new ebook to capture how buildings can accelerate the net zero transition

This is how we change our world

Hot on the heels of our Buildings as Batteries masterclass we’re launching an ebook to bring you extended coverage of the event and showcase the technical skills and emerging solutions that can deliver tangible outcomes for the net zero transition.

A new lever in the transition

The masterclass on 28 August 2024 demonstrated there were now multiple levers to ratchet up success in decarbonising our economy and extinguishing emissions.

There are great possibilities but also challenges that the industry will relish with its powerful competitive spirit.

How do we ensure owners and tenants effectively share their electrical bounty with the grid, while also keeping ample redundancy for operations?

We’re curious about the enterprise opportunities – batteries, microgrids, island modes, smart grid integration, and precinct energy models. Is the industrial shed the cleaner, greener small modular power station of the 2030s?

Our big commercial office buildings have untapped potential to help the grid reach net zero. Time of use management is amongst the evolving solutions. Let’s explore the possibilities and how to dissolve legacy barriers.

THE OPPORTUNITIES

Take part in this ebook and showcase your skills to Australia’s most influential leaders in the built environment and to government agencies accelerating the net zero and sustainability transition.

If your work is involved delivering or consulting in solar installation, batteries, electric cars, trucks or other transport solutions, you need to be in this ebook.

SOLAR AND BATTERIES

Solar is an obvious choice for commercial and industrial tenants – what is the rate of take up of solar panels and batteries by businesses in commercial buildings and what’s driving the take up? What are the challenges that need to be overcome?

THE BIG ROOFS

It’s not only about what’s in the big box of the shed either, the potential for solar harvesting on these roofs is stirring imaginations.

How do we ensure owners and tenants effectively share that electrical bounty with the grid, while also keeping ample redundancy for operations?

We’re curious about the enterprise opportunities – batteries, microgrids, island modes, smart grid integration, and precinct energy models. Is the industrial shed the cleaner, greener small modular power station of the 2030s?

Industrial property’s big sheds are a new breed. Amazon’s new headquarters in Melbourne will be the size of 11 Melbourne Cricket Grounds.

Logistics facilities are now sophisticated tech operations with their own major call on energy to run complex systems, staffed by senior professionals who are sitting alongside in high quality offices running regional headquarters.

The industry is responding to changing consumer habits as  buyers move from queues in bricks and mortar to clicks and a virtual cart and the shift from “just in time” but “just in case” warehousing.
