The Company

Credit Suisse had a bold vision to create a state-of-the-art smart building above Brisbane’s iconic heritage-listed Jubilee Hotel. They needed a solution that could integrate over 40 building systems, deliver real-time operational insights, and meet the most stringent sustainability certifications. By implementing Avani’s advanced platform, they overcame these challenges, achieving a seamless integration of systems, enhanced energy efficiency, and recognition as an industry leader with certifications like a 6-Star Green Star rating. 

The Challenge

Credit Suisse faced significant hurdles in bringing their vision to life:

1. Complex Systems Integration 

The innovative building required the management of over 40 disparate systems, including HVAC, lighting, energy management, and security. Without a centralized platform, synchronizing these systems would be difficult, impeding operational efficiency and user experience. 

2. Stringent Sustainability Goals 

The building needed to achieve high environmental standards, including a 6-Star Green Star rating, a 5-Star NABERS Rating, and a 5-Star Gold WELL Building Certification. Strict operational practices and real-time visibility into energy use and performance would be crucial to meet these objectives. 

3. Stakeholder Transparency 

Tenants and building owners demanded real-time access to data for full transparency. They needed actionable insights to manage energy consumption, reduce costs, and streamline operations.

Avani's Solution

Credit Suisse selected Avani as their technology partner to address these challenges. Here’s how Avani delivered results:

Seamless Integration of Systems 
Avani successfully unified more than 40 complex building systems into a single, cohesive platform. This allowed stakeholders to manage everything, from lighting to climate control, in real-time, eliminating inefficiencies and streamlining workflows. 

Advanced Machine Learning and Analytics 
The Avani platform collected over one million data samples daily, leveraging machine learning algorithms to optimise energy usage and system performance. These self-correcting capabilities minimized plant run times and ensured peak operational efficiency, all while enhancing sustainability. 

Mobile-Friendly Data Accessibility 
To meet stakeholder demands for transparency, Avani’s mobile-compatible dashboards provided owners and tenants real-time access to key metrics. These included sustainability reports, performance tracking, and even after-hours booking options, empowering users with actionable insights. 

Future-Proof and Scalable Technology 
Avani’s adaptable design meant that the building could integrate seamlessly with new third-party applications and technologies as they emerge, ensuring cost-effective scalability and future readiness.

The partnership between Credit Suisse and Avani generated industry-leading outcomes:
