Santos Place - 32 Turbot Street Brisbane

Santos Place (formally Northbridge) is a 36-storey, A-grade commercial building providing 34,500sqm of commercial office space. As of mid-2010, Santos Place is one of a handful of buildings within Australia to achieve a 6-Star Greenstar as built rating and performs to a 5 star NABERS rating.

Systemax’s BMS incorporates complete mechanical DDC (direct digital control), integration to the smart lighting system, security systems, generators, trigeneration and interactive web based AHRS systems.

Web-available thermographic floor layouts, along with plant graphical representations, indicate the condition of the space and controlling equipment which give building managers and service staff a clear and practical understanding of the system.

The BMS provides systems control and energy consumption via electrical, water and gas metering information for NABERS and Green Star certification.

In my 30 years experience in the building services industry and having gone through quite a few major BMCS upgrades and / or replacements in that time, I have never experienced a project of this magnitude go so smoothly – particularly in an occupied building (which we all know is a potential nightmare if not approached correctly and sensitively). It is a credit to you all, and a shining example of what can be achieved when a project is properly planned and resourced by people who have a passion to deliver a first class service.

Trevor Ford – Ford Consulting – Waterfront Place Retrofit – September 2007
All too often contractors fall short of their commitments. We have engaged Systemax on various projects ranging from simple unit controls, to full 50,000m2 complex BMCS retrofits. Systemax have proven their commitment to delivery time and time again. Their levels of services have rebuilt my faith in the Building Automation industry. The WebCTRL interface is one of the best we have worked with, giving the user real control and useful feedback anywhere, anytime. We would recommend Systemax services and product, and will use them again.

Queensland University of Technology (QUT) has engaged Systemax on a continual basis for the last 6 years. Their works have incorporated ongoing BMS rectification works, fault finding and ongoing system tuning to maximise optimal energy management control strategies. Systemax has directly contributed to QUT achieving significant energy consumption reductions associated with the day to day operation of air conditioning systems. Their quality of staff, diligence and professional attitude applied to all tasks they are involved with is a credit to Systemax and make them a pleasure to work with.

Santos Place is one of a few 6 Star Greenstar commercial buildings in Australia currently performing to a 5 star NABERS Energy rating. As such, overall building performance via the BMS is critical in optimal energy management. Systemax supplied and installed the site BMS and have excelled in their diligence for ongoing plant and equipment tuning to optimise energy performance. Systemax’s approach to quick and professional support via the web based platform provides an assurance that facility management issues are easily dealt with in a timely manner.

Robin Smith - Senior Facility Manager – Global FM
I have been dealing with Systemax for the last 6 years and cannot recommend their services highly enough. With their state of the art BMS product, combined with extremely efficient installation and programming skills, they always deliver. It's going the extra mile that sets Systemax apart from their competitors.
