Energy

Almost nothing happens without energy. Our GreenSpace+ team is inspired by the latest advancements in renewable energy production, storage and efficiency, that are designed to save our customers emissions, time, and money.

Powering our customers' operations with clean, cost-effective energy

We’re committed to enabling our customers to get as much of their operational energy as possible straight from the sun and other renewable sources. We are working to maximise the surface of our roofs for solar PV installations, and we’re trialling rooftop wind turbines. Our intention is that every organisation that operates within a Goodman property, can cover as much of their operational energy needs as possible with renewable energy produced and stored onsite.

We’re not only helping to generate electricity, but storing it too. 

We’re working to facilitate energy storage to maximise renewable energy use, reduce dependency on the grid, and support security of energy supply.

Lighting, heating and cooling

Heating and cooling often make up some of the largest costs and emissions for our customers. To help keep these as low as possible, we are diligently upgrading our HVAC equipment with efficient fossil free HVAC solutions, with refrigerants with the lowest Global Warming Potential (GWP). As for lighting, we’ve already equipped more than 90% of our entire portfolio with LED, including dimmers, automatic motion sensors, all-off switches and more, to improve efficiency and further reduce our customers’ operational carbon emissions and costs. Whether we’re upgrading our portfolio or developing a new site, we aim at implementing current technologies and systems to drive innovation and maximise efficiency.

Energy tracking to seamlessly manage reporting and costs

It’s very difficult to decarbonise without real-time data tracking of operational energy consumption. That’s why we equip our properties with smart meters to empower our customers to proactively measure and optimise their utility consumption. On top of visibly encouraging cost- and emissions-saving habits, these smart meters also let our customers seamlessly manage their environmental reporting and costs. As environmental reporting regulations accelerate, we’re committed to enabling our customers to meet them as proactively as possible.

Beyond smart meters
Given the increased sophistication of the energy ecosystem on our sites (renewable energy production, energy storage, EV charging infrastructure, etc.), the implementation of energy management systems (EMS) is becoming crucial to further optimise energy consumption, generation and distribution in different settings. Goodman CE is getting ready to propose the optimal energy solution for our customers.

Providing local communities with renewable energy and heat

Enabling power access for the digital economy

Electric vehicles and data centres need a lot of power. Data centres and data transmission networks are currently responsible for 1% of energy-related GHG emissions , and this is expected to increase rapidly. Many consider power to be the defining energy constraint of the 21st century, which is why we’re investing heavily in maximising power access. By building spaces with premium power access — and supplying more and more of it with renewables every year — we’re committed to supporting our customers with their sustainability ambitions in the digital economy.

Cleaner mobilities

Our customers are electrifying their fleets. To support this rapid rate of electrification, our properties are being equipped with a growing number of electric charging stations. When possible, we also develop riverside and railway-adjacent logistics facilities that allow for unbroken transit of loaded vehicles: from warehouse to boat or train to city centre. By transporting via water or rail, cities can avoid added traffic and reduce pollution.

Energy-efficient and fabric-first design

Energy efficiency begins before we have even broken ground. With extensive experience building and managing properties across  the globe, we incorporate design elements that maximise the energy efficiency of our sites — such as building orientation, utilising openings to optimise sunlight, shading and natural ventilation. On top of this, we also take a ‘fabric-first’ approach to building design by minimising energy demand through maximising the performance of the components and materials that make up the building itself. In addition, our highly insulated buildings offer air-tightness far in excess of standard building regulations.
