Sustainability is no longer an option but a necessity for businesses across industries. Organisations are expected to adopt strategies and take actions to minimise their environmental and social impacts, with their sustainability practices evaluated against stringent Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) metrics.
At enLighten Australia, we understand these challenges and have developed a system called enLink that is transforming the way buildings are managed. By seamlessly integrating emergency lights, exit signs, and various sensors, enLink reduces the costs and resources involved in maintaining and monitoring these systems. This innovative solution leverages a shared wireless backbone infrastructure, enabling property owners and facility managers to monitor multiple aspects of their buildings that contribute to the health and well-being of occupants.
Traditionally, separate systems were installed for each function, resulting in excessive resource consumption and high costs. enLink's approach eliminates this inefficiency, providing a sustainable and cost-effective solution.
Environmental Benefits:
- Energy Efficiency: LED lights consume less energy, reducing the building's carbon footprint.
- Longevity: LEDs have a longer lifespan, eliminating the need for routine replacements and reducing waste.
- Wireless Communication: The system's wireless infrastructure eliminates the need for kilometres of copper wiring, conserving resources.
- Accurate Testing: Automatic self testing ensures batteries last longer and eliminates the errors that occur with manual testing, resulting in reduced battery replacements and associated waste.
- Reduced Site Visits: Automatic self-testing eliminates the need for contractors' site visits, further reducing energy consumption from travelling to site.
Social and Safety Advantages:
- Emergency Preparedness: Automatic testing and reporting ensure the effective operation of emergency lighting, a critical fire safety measure.
- Minimal Disruptions: Programming testing times to suit building operations minimises disturbances to occupants.
- Occupant Health: Integration with sensors provides insights into other criteria such as indoor air quality, significantly enhancing the health and well-being of occupants.
Governance and Risk Mitigation:
- Timely Reporting: Mandatory reporting is delivered on time with substantiated results, assisting owners in managing risks
- Historical Records: Emergency light testing and environmental metrics, like indoor air quality, are stored in a database, supporting owners in incident investigations.
- Lease Compliance: Building performance validation may be required for tenant leases, and enLink provides the necessary data.
- Risk Minimisation: Effective systems minimise risks to employees and the community, providing assurance to Boards and employees.
enLink represents a sustainable and innovative solution for smarter building management. By embracing this advanced technology, building owners and facility managers can enhance their sustainability practices, meet ESG metrics, and provide a safer and healthier environment for occupants.
