A joint project by Exergenics and A.G. Coombs at Sydney Airport has won the 2024 AIRAH Award for Excellence in Innovation.
The chilled water plant optimisation project at Sydney Airport involved using the latest machine learning and simulation techniques to improve the control logic of the Terminal 1 chiller plant and secondary pumping system.
The project achieved a 33.4 per cent increase in efficiency, reducing energy consumption by 890,094kWh and cutting GHG emissions by 704tCO₂ over nine months, through improved efficiency. The overall annual project reduction in energy consumption was 1,742,000kWh, equivalent to 1,377 tCO₂.
The project was undertaken in a close partnership between A.G. Coombs Advisory and Exergenics, working with the Sydney Airport team to achieve their ambitious sustainability targets.
