Scope Systems utilizes a 98kW Solar Panel Grid on the roof of our building in order to harness the readily available energy from the Aussie sun. Additionally, we created 3 solar flowers (1.8kW each) as our contribution to public art in the area.
As a result, we currently produce 200% of our daily energy requirements, of which all left over power is diverted back to the grid. With the advancements in new solar technology, batteries are also something we are considering in our sustainability roadmap.
To ease traffic congestion and reduce our footprint further, staff are reimbursed for public transportation costs to and from the office. As well as this, staff who wish to drive in to work are charged for the use of their car bay for the day. These charges help offset the reimbursement for staff public transport fees.
We have a fleet of 3 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV (Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles) available for staff to use throughout the day.
By drawing upon the energy generated via solar power, these cars are extremely cost effective to run and burn less fossil fuels overall.
With an abundance of plants scattered throughout the office, we have created an atmosphere of peace and calm. Not only do plants help relieve stress and anxiety, they also improve air quality and help regulate sound levels.
Taking advantage of the latest advances in video conference technology, the Scope Systems office is equipped with Zoom Rooms video conferencing facilities.
Wherever possible or practicable, the Scope Systems team have the skillset to conduct meetings and schedule training remotely for our global customer base. This provides both flexibility, and mitigates the our footprint as a result of travel.
To lower our environmental footprint, we’ve invested in a number of energy efficient technologies and appliances.
- Lighting is 98% LED, this excludes a few small decorative lights.
- Installed light motion sensors throughout the floor and in toilets and storage areas, to avoid energy wastage when not in use.
- Installed commercial high speed SMEG dish washers with high energy saving ratings.
- Installed High Efficiency Heat Pumps for Hot Water.
- High Efficiency three pipe Air Conditioning System, Heats to 21 ℃ / Fan only 22-26 ℃ / Cools above 26 ℃.
