Built to perform
SINCE 2020 A team of researchers at University of Wollongong have worked in partnership with the federal department of industry on a research project to improve HVAC performance through maintenance.
The project included a national survey entitled 'Better Ways to Work: HVAC Repair and Maintenance in Commercial Office Buildings’.
This was in addition to three additional research projects that address mapping the decision-making process of HVAC maintenance lifecycle across the mid-tier sector; Identifying common issues in mid-tier HVAC and under- standing the barriers to skills development for energy efficiency in commer- cial building HVACR.
There will be a panel of speakers for this presentation including University of Wollongong researcher, Dr Chantel Carr, researchers from the Sustainable Buildings Research Centre
(SBRC), Dr Matthew Daly and
It will focus on the main changes in the recently revised RAC qualifi- cations, skills sets and competences contained in the national UEE Electrotechnology Training Package.
The new package covers the latest refrigerants, standards and tech- nologies.
A panel of experts will present this session including Refrigeration & Air Conditioning Contractors Association (RACCA) president, Kevin O’Shea, Superior Training Centre education manager, Steve Smith, Hol- mesglen Institute mechanical services teacher, Robert Woolley, lead RAC teacher from the Canberra Institute of Technology, Paul Wright and Australian Refrigeration Council training manager, Noel Munkman.
Dr Daniel Daly.
The final speaker is associate
research fellow from the Univer- sity of Wollongong, Dr Elyse Stanes. She is a researcher with the Australian Centre for Cul- ture, Environment, Society and Space (ACCESS).

Revere CO2
Heat Pump
With a heating performance of 80kW, the Revere CHP-080Y2 was developed to reduce high hot water supply costs and large space requirements.
Natural refrigerant heat pump for space heating and hot water
Produce hot water 60-90 degrees
Global warming potential of 1, avg COP 4.2
Suitable for use in a wide variety of industrial, AD? commercial and residential projects, the use
of CO2 refrigerant reduces greenhouse gas
emissions with a GWP of one. Using proven
technology and ground-breaking design, the RevereTM CO2 Heat Pump system is powered by electricity and utilises heat extracted from the air to produce heat energy to make
hot water.
