#2898 Case Study: High Resolution Plant Phenomics Centre by Control & Electric

John Petze Wed 7 Jun 2017

We are excited to announce a new Case Study provided to us by Control & Electric of Australia. The project - The High Resolution Plant Phenomics Centre (HRPPC) Phytotron is a two story, 3120 research laboratory located at the CSIRO Black Mountain facility in Canberra, Australia. A phytotron is a building in which plants can be grown in controlled climatic conditions and combines glasshouses and controlled environment cabinets. The building was constructed in 1962 and has undergone several refurbishments since. Although the HVAC system was meeting occupant comfort and equipment environment requirements there was an opportunity to use a Fault Detection and Diagnostics (FDD) tool to identify equipment inefficiencies and potential energy savings.

Control & Electric implement SkySpark® Analytics by SkyFoundry for the HRPPC in May 2016, as part of a 12 month FDD program. This case study provides an overview of the project and the results.

We want to thank the team at Control & Electric for submitting this great Case Study.
