2024 USE CASE UnaBiz & GreenA Consultants Partner to Achieve Green Certification for StorHub's Self- Storage Facilities with IoT BACKGROUND StorHub Self Storage is a leading self-storage provider in Asia Pacific managing facilities spanning over 6.8 million square feet of GFA with more than 70,000 storage units across key markets in Australia, Greater China, Japan, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, and Korea. Together with UnaBiz and GreenA Consultants, StorHub implemented energy-efficient practices and integrated digital technologies, optimizing utility and environmental performance across its properties. StorHub's goal is to improve the sustainability performance of its self-storage facilities across Asia Pacific by achieving green certifications such as LEED v4.1 O+M and Arc Skoru. EMPOWERING SUSTAINABILITY THROUGH IOT "We are proud to be part of this milestone project, which showcases the possibilities of digitalisation and IoT technologies in driving sustainability. GreenA's expertise in implementation of sustainable practices for net-zero and net-positive energy buildings coupled with UnaBiz's end-to-end IoT solutions, help StorHub collect fit-for-purpose data which can be benchmarked for sustainability reporting and green certifications." – Jonathan Tan, Managing Director SEA & Taiwan, UnaBiz SITUATION StorHub needed an efficient way to track and report key metrics like energy consumption, water use, and IAQ, ensuring compliance with stringent green building standards. Real-time, accurate data was essential for measuring progress and achieving certification, but the existing solutions were inadequate for their needs. ISSUE Today, building managers in 85% of the buildings do not have access to critical energy utilisation figures as they do not have a BMS or their BMS does not capture detailed and real-time environmental and utility data required for certification. StorHub needed a solution that could seamlessly gather and transmit consumption data (energy and water) and air quality from various locations across its facilities without major disruption to operations or costly infrastructure upgrades. SOLUTION By leveraging on UnaBiz's expertise in digitalisation and IoT, the trio created a connected ecosystem that collects precise electrical and water consumption data and IAQ metrics via Milesight's LoRaWAN â Certified 9-in-1 IAQ sensors across all StorHub's 18 properties in Singapore. Through a wireless retrofit solution, the project was completed in 2 phases, with quick installation turnaround time and no costly infrastructure overhaul. The utility consumption data and environmental data required for LEED certification is then seamlessly fed into this sustainability reporting tool.
