"Most conversations about electrifying apartment buildings start with
technology. And more often than not, they start with Allume SolShare — an
innovative product that enables solar sharing behind the meter for strata
communities.

But that’s not this story.

At 76 Edward Street in Brunswick, a small apartment block of 18 units recently
made the change to all-electric living. Not by installing cutting-edge solar
sharing infrastructure or undertaking complex renovations, but by taking a
holistic view of their energy consumption and focusing their efforts where they
would have the greatest impact.

The result was a communal hot water upgrade that cut bills by over $17,000 a
year, slashed emissions by 86%, and is on-track to deliver a complete return on
investment in under two years.

This case study shows the power of whole-of-system thinking – proving that
designing interconnected systems may lead to the most efficient outcome."
