Case Study: Westfield achieves 25% energy reduction with CoolPlanet

Reducing Westfield Parramatta shopping centre’s energy use by 25%

The customer, Westfield Parramatta, a major Australian shopping center, faced challenges in minimizing energy costs while maintaining tenant and customer comfort. Common issues included inefficient out-of-hours energy usage, static system setpoints, and data held in isolated silos. CoolPlanet was engaged to address these challenges using its energy management software, CoolPlanetOS.

CoolPlanet implemented data-driven solutions by creating a digital twin of the site with CoolPlanetOS. Their work included optimizing HVAC operations, improving economizing strategies, and implementing out-of-hours conservation measures, largely completed remotely with minimal capital investment. This resulted in a 25% overall energy reduction, $900k in annual energy cost savings, and a project payback period of just 1.5 years, all without compromising service levels.
