PROJECT EXPERIENCE
Operable facade systems proven on complex projects.
EBSA works on projects where architectural intent, facade automation, controls and building interfaces need to be resolved together. Explore how window automation, architectural glass louvres, natural ventilation and smoke-control systems are delivered in real commercial buildings.
WINDOW AUTOMATION
Tower-scale and multi-zone automated facade systems
ARCHITECTURAL GLASS LOUVRES
Large-format, insulated and project-specific louvre solutions
SYSTEMS + INTEGRATION
BMS, mechanical, fire and control interfaces
PROJECT DELIVERY
Design, documentation, installation and commissioning
SYSTEMS IN PRACTICE
The project is where the complete system becomes visible.
A finished facade shows only part of the story. Behind the window or louvre sits the actuation, field wiring, control architecture, operating logic, building interfaces and commissioning required to make the system work as intended.
EBSA project stories are structured to show those relationships — why the system was selected, how it was integrated and how the completed facade operates within the building.

FEATURED PROJECTS
Two projects. Two different expressions of EBSA capability.
ATLASSIAN CENTRAL — SYDNEY
Facade automation delivered at tower scale.
Across Atlassian Central’s stacked habitat zones, EBSA is delivering a facade automation package that brings together 4,757 D+H CDC actuators, 18 CPS-M control panels, 56 distribution boxes and approximately 42 kilometres of cabling. The system supports coordinated natural ventilation, smoke relief and building operation across a major commercial tower.
1 HOTEL MELBOURNE — MELBOURNE
A new louvre architecture developed around the project.
EBSA’s MP2 Opposed Opening Louvre system was developed specifically for the Seafarers project through a two-year collaboration process. Integrated across the hotel and residential components, the opposing-blade configuration was developed to maintain clear views while combining natural ventilation, weather protection and architectural expression within the facade.
COMPLETE-SYSTEM DELIVERY
One project can demonstrate the whole operating chain.
NORTHERN BEACHES CHRISTIAN SCHOOL — SYDNEY
A multi-stage natural-ventilation and facade-automation system delivered as one coordinated solution.
Northern Beaches Christian School shows the complete EBSA system across three delivery stages: 51 MP2 framed double-glazed louvres, 266 Breezeway Power Louvres, 258 CDC actuators, 176 VCD drives, CPS-M controls with Modbus integration, touch-screen control, weather sensing, remote-maintenance gateways and interfaces with mechanical services. The result is one coordinated natural-ventilation and facade-automation system across the campus.

EXPLORE THE WORK
Find the project evidence relevant to your design.
Projects can be explored by the system, application, product family, sector, location or delivery status that matters to the next design decision.
The same project may demonstrate several systems. Filters should help visitors find the evidence without separating projects into artificial silos. Status can distinguish completed and operational case studies from major projects currently being delivered.
COMPLETED + OPERATIONAL
Different buildings. Different system requirements.
The strongest EBSA projects demonstrate different combinations of facade design, actuation, louvre technology, controls and building integration. The project hub should make those differences easy to see.

CURRENT DELIVERY
Major projects now extending the EBSA portfolio.
Current work provides useful evidence of the scale and diversity of systems EBSA is delivering now. Keep these projects clearly identified as current or in delivery rather than presenting them as completed case studies.

PROJECT DETAIL
Look beyond the project photograph.
The strongest project evidence explains why the system was selected and how it was delivered. EBSA case studies should give architects, engineers, builders and project teams enough detail to understand the relationship between the facade element, controls and wider building system.
01
PROJECT OVERVIEW
What the building is, where it is and the role of the operable facade.
02
THE DESIGN CHALLENGE
The architectural, environmental or operating requirement that shaped the solution.
03
EBSA SCOPE
The systems, products and project responsibilities delivered by EBSA.
04
SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE
How the louvres, windows, actuators, controls, sensors and field devices work together.
05
BUILDING INTEGRATION
How the facade interfaces with BMS, mechanical, fire or other building systems where relevant.
06
DELIVERY + COMMISSIONING
How the system was coordinated, installed, configured and tested through the project.
07
PROJECT MEDIA
Photography, diagrams and project video used as evidence of the completed system.
08
RELATED SYSTEMS
Direct links back to the products, system pages and technical resources demonstrated by the project.
PROJECT FILMS
See the systems operate.
Project photography proves the architectural result. Video can show the part that still images cannot — how the louvres move, how automated openings respond and how the completed facade operates within the building.
EBSA project films should sit with the projects and systems they prove, with the video library acting as a secondary index rather than the primary destination.
ATLASSIAN CENTRAL
▶NORTHERN BEACHES CHRISTIAN SCHOOL
▶ARCHITECTURAL GLASS LOUVRES
▶PROJECT SECTORS
Experience across buildings with different operating demands.
COMMERCIAL + WORKPLACE
High-rise, workplace and mixed-use buildings where facade automation and environmental performance form part of the wider building strategy.
EDUCATION
Learning environments using automated natural ventilation, environmental sensing and coordinated building controls.
CIVIC + CULTURAL
Public and cultural buildings where architecture, public use and reliable operable-facade systems must be resolved together.
HEALTHCARE + RESEARCH
Healthcare, laboratory and research environments where facade systems form part of closely coordinated building-services strategies.

FROM PROJECT TO SYSTEM
Follow the evidence back to the system behind it.
Every major case study should connect directly to the systems, products and technical guidance demonstrated by that project. This allows a visitor to move from a completed building to the information needed for the next design.

Actuators, controls and automated opening systems demonstrated on real projects.
ARCHITECTURAL GLASS LOUVRES
MP2, LF550, BT90, G Series and specialist louvre configurations used within completed facades.
SYSTEMS + INTEGRATION
Natural ventilation, smoke control, BMS, mechanical and fire-system interfaces demonstrated in operating buildings.
TECHNICAL RESOURCES
Drawings, specifications, testing, guides and technical information supporting the systems shown in the projects.
