We get to know your business and build you a customized and fully-automated energy control system that responds instantly to changing energy loads, conditions and wholesale prices. It’s key features are:
Independent Supermarkets gain energy savings between 50 and 70 per cent through new LED lighting and an automated system to regulate refrigeration, lighting, illuminated signs and air-conditioning. In addition, diesel and solar power generation can be activated automatically when energy demand and grid-power costs are highest.
Major Retail Chains transform by installing new LED lighting and automated systems to regulate lights, illuminated signs and air-conditioning. An automated monitoring system continually checks in-store energy use and generates reports and alarms if the stores are not running at optimal efficiency.
Distribution/Manufacturing businesses adopt multi-technology, energy-saving projects – with an automated energy control system at their core – allowing them to remotely control (and optimise) energy. This technology has cut energy use and costs by more than 70 per cent.
The cost of upgrading lighting at Adelaide University’s North Terrace Campus was cut by $140,000 by retrofitting LED lights designed and manufactured by Sustainable focus.
Sustainable Focus has significantly cut lighting costs in:

Our partnership with Sustainable Focus has seen significant energy and water savings from simple measures. Sustainable Focus has been able to quickly identify the win-win of reduced operating costs and improved environmental outcomes.Chris Jeffs, Manager
Sustainable Focus gets more out of your solar systems with automated “smart” solar that can supply all your energy needs when the sun is shining and automatically reduce your energy consumption when the sun is not shining
The price of self-generated power continues to fall but getting the design and integration right is the key to this being a successful investment.
Sustainable Focus can assess your energy needs and supply and install large (100kVA) or small diesel generators. To maximise the benefit of the installed generator it will be integrated into your customized automation system. This has the added benefit of demand management to minimise the cost of the fees paid to South Australian Power Network.
For larger customers who are buying electricity from the spot market, diesel generation is an integral part of the solution as it mitigates the risk associated with buying from the spot market.
