RENEWABLE ENERGY

The Smart Precinct vision

Data is collected from a range of sources:

• Sensors and meters gather real-time performance

• Integration with external datasets

• Feedback from users of the space

An organisation aggregates that data and translates it to useful information:

• To communicate progress

• To improve performance

• To foster innovation

• To inform design

Information is presented to multiple audiences via multiple devices:

• Detailed reporting for WA and Council

• Smartphone apps for residents & workers

• Street signage and website for general public

• Data used for research and development, etc

Buildings

• Energy • Water • Thermal

Environment • Rain gardens • Local climate • Water quality

Public spaces

• Pedestrians • Waste • Noise levels

Transport • Parking • Vehicle counts • Public
