BHP Tower.
Put the energy transition on the building that carries BHP’s name.

BHP Tower already combines premium workplace performance with a company pursuing renewable electricity, electrification and lower-emissions technology at industrial scale. A productive façade can make that transition physically visible on the building carrying the BHP name.

Read the building

Make the energy transition visible at headquarters.

BHP is pursuing renewable power, electrification and lower-emissions technology across mines and logistics. A productive façade at BHP Tower brings that same direction into the city — a clean-energy technology embedded in the corporate asset people see every day.

What the building envelope could deliver

Qualified roof and façade surfaces are screened against the same energy and commercial assumptions used throughout this case study.

— Annual generation
— Annual energy value
— Modelled payback
— Grid-equivalent CO₂
— Installed solar area
— Project LCOE

Grid-equivalent CO₂ is modelled using the local grid factor. Actual market-based emissions impact depends on the building’s electricity procurement and renewable-energy contracts.

Energy & economics

Monthly electricity & LCOE

See how electricity generation and equivalent energy cost change through the year as solar resource, orientation and shading shift.

Monthly electricity & LCOE

Generation through the day

North and west carry the office day.

The north façade contributes the largest share of modelled annual generation and west is second. East-facing surfaces pick up earlier hours, while west-facing surfaces carry more output into the afternoon.

Where the electricity comes from

North and west are the largest vertical contributors, with the roof playing a smaller supporting role. The model points to a selective commercial-office deployment rather than blanket coverage.

Corporate transition, made tangible

Make BHP Tower a visible statement of the energy transition.

BHP is pursuing renewable power, electrification and lower-emissions technology across mines and logistics. A productive façade at BHP Tower brings that same direction into the city — a clean-energy technology embedded in the corporate asset people see every day.

Already

The building and the company already have credible sustainability platforms.

BHP Tower carries strong NABERS, Green Star and indoor-environment credentials. BHP says more than 70% of its global electricity use is now renewable and continues to pursue structural operational-emissions reductions.

Next standard

Make the transition visible on the corporate asset.

A headquarters façade is a place where technology, brand and property meet. It can demonstrate distributed generation in the city while BHP scales renewable power across its operations.

Technology adoption is already part of the decarbonisation strategy.

BHP already backs new technologies for electrification and renewable power. A façade pilot creates a visible pathway from first installation to wider adoption.

Brookfield Place precinct

Build on a high-performance asset.

The value proposition is an additional productive layer on a building already competing on premium workplace and sustainability credentials.

Solar Studio result

North and west carry the office day.

North is the largest modelled contributor and west is second. East contributes earlier; west supports later-day generation — useful for a commercial workplace load profile.

The Solar Studio advantage

We model the building.
Then we follow the sun.

Solar Studio reveals the energy potential hidden across an entire building envelope — not just the roof. It combines advanced 3D solar simulation with the commercial metrics asset owners need to make a decision.

01

Advanced 3D building model

We recreate the building and its urban surroundings so the analysis reflects the real geometry of the façade, roof and neighbouring skyline.

02

Sunlight, tracked all year

Advanced ray-tracing follows sunlight through every hour of the day and every season of the year, revealing how solar access changes across the envelope.

03

A true shading profile

Nearby towers, setbacks and the building itself are captured in a detailed shading profile, separating consistently productive surfaces from those that spend too much time in shadow.

04

From solar potential to business case

We translate the solar opportunity into generation, energy savings, carbon reduction and payback — turning a complex façade into a clear investment picture.

Beyond rooftop solar

See where the building can generate, when that energy arrives, and which surfaces create the strongest commercial value.

Case study settings

The assumptions behind this view

These inputs define the BHP Tower case study and can be changed for a building-specific assessment.

Assumptions & inputsOpen to review the model settings

Indicative feasibility assessment. Results support early-stage decision making and should be followed by site, structural, electrical and façade-engineering review before project development.
