The project
Background
The tender requirements were air conditioning in all 29 high-end units and basement mechanical services, including all the car park exhaust, lobby fresh air supply, and full mechanical package for air and services. Individual temperature control for each unit was also a
requirement. Due to the premium nature of the
project, Air Forced Air specified Fujitsu General’s VRF J-IIS systems. This specification met the premium
quality expectations of the build and would provide unit owners with great operational efficiency.
Air Forced Air, collaborated with builder Central Real, to deliver a premium quality residential project located 100 meters from the shores of Brisbane Waters in the exclusive
Central Coast suburb of Point Frederick. A medium-rise building, with six storeys above ground and a split-level basement, the complex features 29 luxury units. Given the prestigious location and sale price of each unit, the design brief was to push the boundaries with specification and finishes, to create a first of its’ kind for the area. All units sold off the plan within weeks of the project launch, and, at the
time, broke sales records for the Central Coast region.
“…THE INSTALLATION WAS DEFECT-FREE, WHICH IS EVIDENCE OF THE QUALITY
OF THE SKILLS PROVIDED BY AIR FORCED AIR, AND THE FUJITSU SYSTEM.”
Challenges
Outcome
Each apartment required four to five indoor units; one for each bedroom and one or two in the living area.
With limited space above the wardrobes, the Fujitsu
slim-line bulkhead (ARXK) units were easier to install. These mini ducts feature drain pumps which made them ideal for this high-spec installation.
The final configuration of the outdoor units was 15 on the roof
and 14 units in the car park. In the basement there was a garbage truck turntable and the units were wall-mounted above this, which had no impact on the available floor space. The solution was effective and the outcome positive.
“There has been no negative feedback and the installation was defect-free, which is evidence of the quality of the skills provided by Air Forced Air and the Fujitsu system.”
