ICT - Energy & Climate
ICT integration plays a growing role in UOWA’s transition to a smart, low-carbon campus. From data analytics to automation, technology supports planning, monitoring, and optimisation of energy use.
Key Applications:
· Smart Monitoring:
o Early-stage smart meters track building-level consumption.
o Dashboards display real-time data for facility teams.
· Automation:
o Sensor-based lighting reduces unnecessary energy use.
o HVAC automation optimises indoor comfort while minimising waste.
· Planning & Evaluation:
o Energy data forecasting supports smarter decisions.
o Pilot results show measurable reductions in energy-intensive zones.
· Energy Review & Audits:
UOWA supplements digital monitoring with periodic energy audits and zone assessments to pinpoint buildings and systems with highest energy wastage. These formal reviews compare real usage against expected benchmarks derived from meter data, helping prioritize retrofits, maintenance, or system upgrades. This systematic review process ensures that inefficiencies are not only detected but acted upon.
Future Plans:
o Extend ICT monitoring across all buildings.
o Integrate solar and emissions data into dashboards.
o Launch student/staff-facing energy awareness apps.
Impact:
By combining ICT with sustainability, UOWA is creating a foundation for continuous improvement, aligning with SDG 9 (Industry, Innovation & Infrastructure) and SDG 13 (Climate Action).
