Reviewing Your Campus HVAC

Air Conditioning (HVAC) energy consumption is amix of technology and behaviour. It’s not just amatter of equipment design. It involves the fullrange of considerations from building design toHVAC equipment design and selection,installation, commissioning, operation and maintenance, reporting and control systems to
better energy management. With a number of

global warming potential (GWP) syntheticbased Hydro Fluoro Carbon (HFC) refrigerantsbeing phased down as of 01 January 2018,custodians of Australian schools have anopportunity to review their existing HVAC systemsto explore technology alternatives to optimise HVAC performance and energy efficiency and drivesignificant cost savings.

Preparing for HFC Phase Down

Exploring shifting trends and regulation for HFC phase down and what this means to yourorganisation to adopt alternative and emerging energy efficient and low GWP natural refrigerant technologies which can aid to drive significant cost efficiencies, reduce Carbon emissions and help better manage the heat load in a school campus. In the first stage it would be prudent to understand what systems you currently have installed on campus to identify age of equipment and more importantly what type of refrigerant is being used. There are a number of potential replacements for HFCs. Several refrigerants with no or very low GWP 

are now available in Australia, which may be appropriate for use in the same applications as HFCs. These gases are not regulated and comprise of naturally occurring substances known as “natural” refrigerants, including ammonia, carbon dioxide and hydrocarbons, as well as manufactured substances (e.g., Hydrofluoroolefins or HFOs). Natural refrigerants and HFOs may offer improved performance and energy efficiency in fit-for purpose systems. In considering an alternative refrigerant, it is important that it be used in equipment that is fit for purpose and not used in equipment designed for a specific HFC; this could prove hazardous.
