RP1026: Evaluation of Next-Generation Automated Fault Detection & Diagnostics (FDD) Tools for Commercial Building Energy Efficiency

This project undertook a rigorous and systematic independent evaluation of the potential benefits of automated FDD solutions delivered as a managed service in Australia. The intent of the evaluation is to encourage greater uptake of FDD tools and services in Australia by assisting building owners, operators and HVAC&R maintenance contractors to evaluate and select their preferred FDD solution for future roll-out across their respective building or portfolio, therefore significantly increasing the energy efficiency of commercial building stock in Australia. Cases studies included in this report include; Melbourne Museum, Commercial Office Tower, Sydney NSW, Melbourne Airport and a public hospital in Brisbane.
