Last week, we looked at the transition to R32. This week, our Mechanical team turned its attention to a different approach to heating and cooling: ground source geothermal systems. On 26 August, the team visited the RHCS Experience Centre, where a fully functioning geothermal heating and cooling system provided an opportunity to see the technology operating beyond the drawings. The centre brings together a live plant room, operational ground loop, underfloor heating circu

An operating room does not just need to be clean. Its air needs to behave differently from the air in the rooms around it. Modern operating theatres are carefully controlled environments where ventilation, filtration, temperature, humidity and pressure all form part of the engineering strategy for reducing airborne contamination. One of the most interesting parts is something you cannot see: air pressure. For many operating rooms, the room is maintained at a higher pressure t

As buildings become more energy efficient and sustainability expectations continue to grow, HVAC design is evolving well beyond simply heating and cooling a space. Today's systems must balance performance, energy use, compliance, occupant comfort and long term operational efficiency. This week, our mechanical team welcomed Temperzone Australia for a Lunch & Learn exploring the latest developments in VRF and applied HVAC systems. One of the key discussions centred on reducing

In June 1902, a 25-year-old engineer named Willis Carrier drafted a solution that quietly redefined how we interact with buildings. The...
