AURIN+ARUP hackathon: ChargeQuest (1st prize)

The study developed a roll-out strategy for the provision of on-street parking bays based on a hierarchy of parking bay suitability as a function of net solar potential and existing supply deficit. The product of this study could be used by policymakers and planners to inform decision-making regarding the provision of EV charging points across the District. Thanks to our wonderful 1-day team members: Yaguang (Ozzy) Tao (RMIT), Nayomi Ranamuka (RMIT), Prawal Lohani (RMIT), Bernice van Dyk (AIRE Consulting) ...

3D solar yield simulation

Part of a project for the Sustainable Energy Systems course at RMIT, this data visualisation quantifies the solar potential of an unusual roof configuration (a retirement home) by running irradiance simulation in the EnergyPlus engine, on a building envelope modelled in SketchUp.

empower.me

Developed while studying Sustainable Energy Systems at RMIT, and with the help of a social entrepreneurship grant from RMIT Social Entreprise group, this platform aims at visualising data that by-large remains invisible in our society: energy data. These visualisations are linking the personal - smart meter data - to the collective - national energy market and solar data. Smart meter data can be uploaded to the platform for an interactive heatmap visualisation, revealing patterns and anomalies. ...
