Taronga Zoo

Taronga Zoo, a world-leading conservation organisation, is committed to ambitious sustainability targets around carbon emissions, electricity, water, and waste diversion. To avoid significant manual data collection and analytics, Taronga needed to link multiple independent monitoring and control systems. Avani integrated these systems across two sites, enabling automated reporting and centralised visibility.

• Committed to ambitious sustainability targets around carbon emissions, electricity, water, and waste diversion
• Multiple independent monitoring and control systems not connected
• Significant manual data collection and analytics required to achieve sustainability goals

• Integrated pre-existing building systems, including lighting control, pumping systems, and utility metering to the Avani platform
• Standardised access and visualisation of data across two sites (Taronga Zoo, Sydney and Western Plains Zoo, Dubbo), streamlining manual processes and improving data quality
• Automated reporting through data collection and analytics

• Supported the ambitious Taronga sustainability strategy through visibility and enabling a targeted approach to reducing emissions
• Enabled Taronga’s sustainability and asset management teams to achieve their sustainability goals by monitoring utility usage trends, setting alerts for over-consumption, and validation of consumption against utility bills
• Removed manual monitoring requirements by automating data collection from over 500 devices
• Automated sustainability reporting such as onsite solar PV generation
• Adopted a single interface for the monitoring and control of all building systems
