Key Sustainability Initiatives at Highbrook

Solar generation

A 63 kWp rooftop solar array generates over 115 MWh annually, reducing grid electricity consumption and supporting lower operational energy costs.

Energy sub-metering

An advanced metering system with 43 electrical meters provides detailed visibility of HVAC, lighting and general power consumption throughout the building.

Energy platform

Goodman Energy Management (GEM) integrates building data to deliver real-time energy insights, operational visibility and informed performance management.

Energy Analytics

Advanced monitoring and analytics identify inefficiencies, optimise energy performance and support smarter operational and sustainability decisions.

Remote monitoring

Centralised dashboards provide real-time visibility of building systems, enabling operators to monitor performance and optimise critical services remotely.

EV infrastructure

Electric vehicle charging stations support tenant electrification while intelligent load management helps optimise available electrical capacity.

Ford Building – A High Performance Example

62% Reduction in Energy Usage

Ford Building – Common Area Electricity (2022–2024).

The Ford Building demonstrates the impact of the Highbrook sustainability programme. Following solar installation and energy optimisation initiatives, common area electricity consumption was reduced by 124,016 kWh between 2022 and 2024, equivalent to powering approximately 17 Kiwi homes for a year.

Supporting Energy Monitoring Infrastructure

Quasar Systems provided energy monitoring capability using Schneider Electric EcoStruxure Power Monitoring Expert (PME) across several Highbrook buildings.

This monitoring capability supports Goodman’s Goodman Energy Management (GEM) platform, which integrates building systems, sub-metering and operational data to provide visibility of energy performance across the portfolio.

The system enables:

detailed electrical sub-metering
real-time monitoring of energy use
performance reporting and analysis
data to support energy optimisation initiatives

Quasar Q-Cloud Quasar PME
