Case Study: a large retail centre reduces water consumption with CIM's PEAK Platform

Leveraging PEAK Rules and Meters to reduce water consumption at retail centre

A prominent shopping centre in Queensland faced a significant challenge with a sharp increase in its water usage, which caused its NABERS Water rating to drop. The issues included multiple undetected leaks, negligent water use by tenants, and an inability to validate readings across a large network of sub-meters. To address this, the centre partnered with CIM to leverage their PEAK Platform.

CIM implemented a comprehensive solution using the PEAK Platform’s Rules and Meters features to monitor consumption and identify non-functional meters. This enabled the on-site team to proactively visualize data and collaborate on a unified platform. The result was a 36% reduction in water usage within the first month, saving an estimated $12,000. The team also closed 33 actions for leaks and consumption issues, reactivated meters, and gained an accurate view of their water use, significantly improving sustainability and operational excellence.
