Background
Court Services Victoria, state government body
Court Services Victoria is a state government body providing administrative services for Victoria's courts and tribunals. With 2023 revenue of $800m and 2,795 employees, the organization delivered the new $300m Wyndham Law Courts - the largest court complex outside Melbourne's CBD. This state-of-the-art facility brings together the Magistrates' Court, Children's Court and Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal, featuring 13 courtrooms, four hearing rooms, three mediation suites and 26 holding cells.
Customer´s requirements
The challenge
The brief from the client for the mechanical system was to provide a sustainable design, considering energy efficiency, indoor environmental quality, occupant comfort, functionality, serviceability and maintainability.
The project timeline required the heat recovery ventilation system to be delivered and positioned in place prior to the roof and walls being completed at the new building. This required meticulous planning to avoid any delays, ensuring that all 30 air handling units were successfully lifted and positioned within a two-week timeframe.
Our solution
High-efficient air handling units DUPLEX Multi – 30 pcs
We supplied AMEC Technologies, our distributor in Australia, with 30 DUPLEX Multi units with flow rates from 5000 up to 10 000 m3/hr delivered to site with integrated access control system, providing a complete turnkey solution for the mechanical contractor and builder.
The solution offered multiple advantages: compact dimensions of AHUs with integrated heating and cooling coils and high variability of spigot connections significantly simplified installation and reduced space requirements for the building's technical facilities, Plug´n´Play control system then offered quality control and testing performed in the factory to reduce risk of issues during installation, no requirement for field fitting of controls to the AHUs reducing onsite labour and H&S risks, and significantly reducing time and trades for faster project timelines.
The Results
Key benefits of ATREA heat recovery AHU / air handling units
Wyndham Law Courts now have ErP 2018 compliant heat recovery air handling units, enhancing design and improving indoor air quality within the spaces. The high-efficiency counterflow heat exchangers enabled the mechanical contractor to reduce the overall primary plant load, resulting in significant capital cost savings during the design phase.
Key parameters:
- ErP 2018 compliant heat recovery ventilation units,
- integrated control system,
- factory quality control and testing,
- reduced onsite installation time and labour requirements,
- significant energy consumption savings through high-efficiency operation.
Client benefits
Thanks to comprehensive factory testing and integrated control systems, the mechanical works contractor achieved faster installation times and reduced health and safety risks on site.
The highly efficient AHUs deliver sustained energy savings, which are reflected in a fast return on investment.
AMEC ensured that the strict tender budgets were adhered to in order to deliver this project successfully.
Feedback from the customer
"The ATREA heat recovery system exceeded our expectations. Factory-tested units with integrated controls significantly reduced installation time and eliminated commissioning issues in the field. The energy efficiency of the heat recovery systems delivered the sustainability results required for this important public infrastructure project."
