About Goodman

Goodman is a global industrial property group headquartered in Sydney, Australia. It develops, owns, and manages high-quality logistics and warehouse facilities across major urban markets. Known for its focus on sustainability and long-term partnerships, Goodman supports some of the world’s leading brands with flexible, efficient spaces. In Australia, Goodman operates a significant portfolio of commercial and industrial sites with an emphasis on digital infrastructure and ESG performance. Its operations are guided by a commitment to delivering sustainable, customer-centric real estate solutions.

Challenges:

Operating in a region where demand charges account for nearly 50% of energy costs, Goodman needed to optimize building performance, automate demand control, and support sustainability goals, without disrupting operations. Manual monitoring, siloed systems, and limited fault visibility stood in the way of achieving Green Star energy targets and delivering strong tenant experiences.

Key challenges included:

• No centralized dashboards or operational insights across buildings
• Lack of automation for peak demand response
• Inability to validate solar performance and energy generation
• Difficulty reconciling tenant-level utility usage
• Limited visibility into asset faults or inefficiencies

In a nutshell, high-volume operations were being run with low-visibility tools.

Facilio’s Solution

Facilio implemented its Connected Buildings platform to unify Goodman’s building operations across 14 properties. Core capabilities included real-time data and utility monitoring, asset-level fault detection, solar plant tracking, and demand response automation. By consolidating 1,100+ data points into intuitive dashboards and enabling automated control across 534 kW of load, the platform gave Goodman complete oversight of energy performance and asset behavior. The result: a scalable, transparent foundation for operational intelligence and sustainability compliance.

Solution Highlights

Operational Visibility That Scales with Portfolio

Facilio established a unified data layer connecting 514 assets across 14 buildings, including HVAC units, energy meters, lighting, and water systems. Real-time dashboards were customized to each site and unit, surfacing insights such as energy use intensity, line voltages, and asset uptime. This foundational visibility helped Goodman eliminate blind spots, reduce reactive firefighting, and create a data-driven standard for managing building performance at scale.

Energy Insights That Power Smarter Decision-Making

With energy costs driven heavily by peak demand in Australia, Goodman needed to go beyond tracking consumption. Facilio’s energy dashboards helped teams analyze import vs. solar generation, track cost per area, and normalize consumption by asset type. These insights not only surfaced savings opportunities but also created a reliable basis for sustainability benchmarking and long-term planning.

Cutting Costs Down with Proactive Fault Awareness

Facilio configured a rules-based fault detection engine tailored to Goodman’s asset mix, flagging out-of-hours operation, flatlining sensors, and deviations in HVAC or solar behavior. Each fault was mapped to its potential cost or energy impact, allowing operational teams to prioritize resolution and maintain performance standards. These alerts reduced service lag and ensured no fault slipped through unnoticed.

Demand Control That Delivers Compliance and Savings

To meet Green Star requirements and cut peak utility charges, Goodman implemented automated demand response across 534 kW of connected load. When demand approached threshold limits, systems such as EV and forklift charging were temporarily disabled via Facilio’s control logic. With schedule-based and forecast-driven triggers, Goodman eliminated the manual burden of peak demand events, and gained compliance peace of mind.

Remote Operational Control Without Complexity

Facilio enabled Goodman’s teams to manage HVAC and lighting schedules across all buildings via remote, rule-based commands. Whether enforcing night-time shutoffs or overriding during emergencies, staff had full control without the need for on-site inputs. Dashboards were also shared with internal stakeholders and displayed live onsite to keep everyone aligned without the need for a tenant-facing portal.

Impact

• Enabled 534 kW of automated demand response to meet Green Star standards
• Achieved real-time visibility across 514 assets and 1,100+ data points
• Reduced manual energy monitoring workload across 14 buildings
• Provided solar performance insights with inverter-level breakdowns
• Improved property transparency and operational readiness during asset transitions
