Green Building Projects
Setpoint has worked on or is working on the following Green Building Projects:
Building & Climate Control - University of Otago
A Siemens high level data interface to an older automation system allowed the University of Otago to do a staged implementation of their new site wide APOGEE® system. APOGEE® provides the University with the right platform for HVAC control and energy management throughout the campus. Maintaining the correct spatial conditions and air quality along with controlling energy costs are key requirements for the site. Some other system features include a high level interface to Daikin VRV air conditioning systems, Siemens variable speed drives on the APOGEE® network, scheduling, optimised start stop routines, compensation schedules and an interface with the main generator system.
Integration - Christchurch International Airport
Christchurch International Airport have many examples of integration and connectivity within their site such as: Siemens APOGEE® BACnet option, LonWorks variable air volume box controllers, main plant controllers on Ethernet, Modbus integration to power and lighting PLC’s, backwards compatibility integration to Staefa Integral BMS, RENO alarm notification to pagers, e-mail and cell phones, an interface to the flight information system to control the HVAC and lighting in accordance with the flight arrival/departure schedules and Apogee GO web interface software.
Lighting Control -Westpac Stadium
Lighting at the Westpac Stadium in Wellington is controlled by APOGEE®. At the push of a button stadium staff can select from preprogrammed configurations to ensure that lighting is provided in the correct configuration no matter what event is on. Internal and external security lighting is controlled according to time schedules and ambient light levels.
Service - Christchurch Art Gallery
Christchurch Art Gallery have in place the 'Select365' service programme to ensure their system is continuously working at an optimum level.
Some areas covered with the programme include:
- Calibration of humidity and temperature sensors
- Checking correct operation of the entire system, the condition of equipment and reporting potential issues
- Setup and analysis of trend collection data
- Analysing plant run data to prevent overworking and to ensure plant is being rotated correctly
- Observing other areas of energy wastage (e.g. steam leakage)
- Calibration of car park toxic CO gas sensors.
- Discussions with the customer regarding additional operational, plant, energy and other related issues.
