Aurora on Pirie

Adelaide

Built in 2009 Aurora on Pirie is located in Adelaide’s prime CBD area, opposite Hindmarsh Square.

Comprising over 190 office suites with a diverse and eclectic variety of businesses.

Although Aurora on Pirie is one of Adelaide’s most desirable corporate locations, attracting commercial tenancies is increasingly competitive. Reducing outgoings, specifically lowering energy costs, is one way to attract and retain high-value tenants.

After an extensive engineering study, a comprehensive holistic energy solution was deployed. This solution included: embedding the whole building, power factor correction, sensors for lights in fire exit stairwells, 25kW roof top solar, 3 BMS strategy changes, VSD’s on HVAC water pumps and finally two stages of bill re-engineering.
