As one of the largest, if not the largest energy consumers in a commercial building, the HVAC system plays a significant role in helping to reach net-zero-energy goals of green building engineers in Sydney.

Approximately 40 percent of the energy in commercial buildings is consumed by HVAC equipment and therefore it's vital to ensure mechanical system efficiency is improved to achieve higher net-zero results. 

With major technological improvements of heating and air conditioning systems over the last decade, net-zero building is becoming more achievable. Our experts in environmental building design know the HVAC system size and energy consumption directly relates to key components of the building design, such as orientation, building envelope, lighting system, and appliances.

Every watt that gets saved in HVAC systems is a watt that doesn’t need to be generated by renewable energy or sourced from the grid. Highly efficient HVAC systems use innovative technologies, such as inverters that drive the compressor and smart controls to manage the time and usage.
