HVACR Leadership Awards
Fridgie of the Year Award
TOTALINE HAS SPONSORED the very first Fridgie of the Year Award which has three Finalists including:
D&T Refrigeration technician, Jamie Sigley, has a big future. He won the 2017 Industry Educational Trade Scholarship in his final trade school year. His employer, describes him as a technician who is 10 years ahead of his time.
Sigley has just completed a five month project coordinating the en- tire job as leading hand for a brand new custom designed supermarket. The job consisted of VSD driven compressors and condenser fans housed in an acoustic designed plant room, 31 refrigerated cabinets and three cool rooms.
Cooling Company director, Mat- thew Scudamore, is all about quality workmanship and superior customer service. And it isn't just about the prod- ucts and brands they use, its also about educating clients prior to installation. This means customising each job,
talking through options and costings and providing scheduled maintenance plans. Scudamore ensures he is always available for clients in between provid- ing custom designed walk-in and mo- bile cold rooms and freezer rooms.
Jindabyne Refrigeration manager, Andrew Solomon, is immensely proud of his business which has grown from a one man operation working out of a ute to six full time staff including four tradesmen on the road covering a 250km service area in the snowy mountains. Solomon has a passion for new technology and pushing the limits even using natural refrigerants in heating systems located in the coldest regions of Australia. He also did the first C02 Q-Ton installation in Austral- ia back in 2017. ✺
Energy Savings & Sustainability Award
THERE ARE THREE finalists for this award including:
STIEBEL ELTRON Australia renewable tech- nologies manager, Oliver Joss, has enjoyed a ca- reer as a HVAC engineer both here and over- seas. In fact he was transferred from STIEBEL ELTRON Switzerland to its Australian office to develop the heat pump and renewable energy market in Australia.
When he is not hosting training sessions on air tight building methods and heat recovery ventilation, he is designing 'homes of the future'. He has already designed heat recovery ventila- tion systems for more than 80 new high perfor- mance homes.
DAC Refrigeration managing director, Hayden Conti, has been busy supporting businesses that are making the transition from R22 to less costly and more efficient alternatives. Conti has just completed a two-month retrofit project with Perth-basedfreshfruitwholesaler,Etherington.
The new installation achieved impressive en- ergy savings using BITZER Varipack variable speed drives, Buffalo Trident condensers and evaporators. Conti said BITZER were able to provide both the compressor rack system and Evolution package units to meet DAC's require- ments. He said the project allowed DAC to fu- ture-proof the wholesaler's systems.
Since being appointed to lead the energy effi- ciency push at ENGIE Services Australia, busi- ness development engineer, David Odd, has in- troduced aggressive growth plans. He has targeted markets with ageing plant and equip- ment and put clients on the road to operating efficiency. Success is measured by monitoring energy consumption on a monthly basis and comparing the results to an agreed baseline set with the client. While gains are shared with the client, losses are borne by Engie. Prior to joining Engie, Odd was a mechanical engineer with AE SmithPtyLtd. ✺
