What contribution would you be willing to make to the equipment and costs?

12 BENEFITS OF CITY TOUCH Greater Visibility - Regardless of location, each light point connects effortlessly to the existing network, all data is then easily visible to the lighting operator.

13 BENEFITS OF CITY TOUCH Flexibility - The simplicity of changing dimming schedules, and the ability to add multiple dimming scenarios to different days for different groups of lights, shows an unlimited flexibility to the users.

14 BENEFITS OF CITY TOUCH Energy Efficiency Conversation to LED provides reduction in energy consumption and by using scheduled dimming further energy savings are achieved. Energy Efficiency Consumption data is readily available to analyse the use the dimming schedule

15 BENEFITS OF CITY TOUCH Greater Operability Ability to view, operate, manage and monitor the lights from anywhere.

16 BENEFITS OF CITY TOUCH Customer Satisfaction & Safety - Real time automatic reporting of faults and information on burning hours enables prompt rectification and less down time with lights. Able to remotely manage their street lighting scenarios for various events throughout the year. This allows the visitors to the venues with a safer and more vibrant experience.

17 STAGE 1 - TRIAL In May/June 2017, the installation of 144 LED Luminaires with Philips City Touch Control Nodes to replace range of 150W and 250W HPS (High Pressure Sodium) and MH (Metal Halide) luminaires. The LED Luminaires chosen has total system power of 80W and 130W. 12 regions were chosen on the basis of: Lack of C-Bus Control; and/or Difficulty of access; and/or Need to upgrade the older technology; and/or Ability to use Smart Controls to increase energy savings

18 Energy and Cost Assumptions and Actuals Stage 1 Analysis was done on the energy, cost and estimated maintenance expenditure of the group of luminaires prior to installation. - 20, , , , , The estimated energy consumption of the 144 luminaires was 96,917KWh per annum. An initial study prior to the installation of the new luminaires gave a calculated an expected annual energy consumption of 46,224KWh (a predicted saving of 52%). Actual Annual Energy Consumption Post Installation of Philips Luminaires and CityTouch Nodes (KWh) Proposed Annual Energy Consumption Post Installation of Philips Luminaires and CityTouch Nodes (KWh) Estimated Annual Energy Consumption Prior to Installation of Philips Luminaires and CityTouch Nodes (KWh) After being installed for 1 year, and with the ability to monitor the energy, dim and trim the lights using the City Touch User Interface, the actual annual energy consumption was measured at 31,013KWh a total energy saving of 68%.

19 Energy and Cost Assumptions and Actuals (con t) Stage 1 In terms of energy cost (based on $0.20 per KWh), the figures stack up as follows: Prior to Installation: $19, Calculated New Install prior to install: $9, Actual Energy Cost Post Install: $ Total yearly saving of A$12, (for 144 luminaires) Operational and Maintenance Costs Prior to installation: $150/luminaire per year O&M Cost Total: $21,600 per year Post Installation: $0 (*based on no lamp replacements or spot fixes) Total Annual Savings based on Energy Cost and O&M = A$34, (for 144 luminaires), or $240 savings per luminaire. Savings per year 64,904KWh Tonnes CO2e $34,580.84

20 Stage 2 Addition of 153 new LED Luminaires with CityTouch An additional 153 Luminaires were installed along Olympic Blvd, Grand Pde, Showground Rd, Murray Rose Ave and Dawn Fraser Ave. The calculated energy and cost analysis prior to install was: 170,400KWh/$34,080 per year Based on the new installation the new energy and cost analysis for the year will be: 67,547KWh/$13,509 per year A saving of 60% in energy and $20,570 in energy cost. Assumed O&M saving of $44,550. Savings for both Stages 167,759KWh Tonnes CO2e $78,101

21 STAGE 2 ADDED BENEFITS City Touch allows SOPA to schedule the lighting levels to cater for various events and requirements as needed both in advance and on an ad-hoc basis. Flexible dimming of light levels increases security for the people as well as enabling energy savings for SOPA. Such examples are as follows: Dimming for standard operation (nonevent mode) Higher level lighting for Event Mode Emergency Mode (if required) with highest lighting levels

22 FUTURE EHANCEMENTS Trimming by switching the lights on 30 minutes after sunset, and off 30 minutes before sunrise, 1 hour a day of energy can be saved. This can equate to an addition 10% of energy savings per year. Increased understanding of people and car movements around SOPA, coupled with lighting analysis and safety concerns, can also further potentially reduce energy consumption via more data centric dimming Additional safety for pedestrians with the addition of in-road markers linked to CityTouch Color Kinetics to enhance the spaces around SOPA to bring in more people for greater customer experience and engagement The introduction of Interact as an all 22 encompassing smart city lighting platform

23 The expected annual savings from replacement of 252 luminaires is $78,101 per year. Replacement of the remaining street luminaires and Pedestrian luminaires to energy saving LED luminaires with City Touch, could increase the savings to approximately $400,000 per year, or $4Million over the next 10 years. SOPA intend to develop strategies and initiatives to further enhance the precinct, increase user safety and comfort and provide the greatest energy and costs savings possible.
