Hitachi, Ltd., University of Technology Sydney, and NTT DATA, Inc. have signed an MoU to push green transformation work in Australia. The focus is not theory. They want to test what actually works in a real environment.
Australia is tightening expectations around emissions. Large companies are already under pressure to cut CO2, and that brings a basic problem to the surface. If you cannot track energy usage properly, you cannot manage or reduce it. That is why demand for solid ESG data and practical energy tools is picking up, especially in commercial buildings.
The three are using UTS as a working ground. Not a pilot in isolation, but a live setup where systems run in real conditions. First step is bringing Hitachi’s EcoAssist-Enterprise into the Australian context so energy usage can be clearly tracked and aligned with systems like NABERS. Once that visibility is in place, they layer in optimization.

That is where NTTデータ’s HUCAST comes in. It uses AI to adjust air conditioning based on weather and foot traffic, in real time. But that might sound very simple, try just reducing energy use without making the buildings uncomfortable.
If this works across multiple buildings at UTS, they scale it. Not just across campuses, but into the wider market.
