The current major redevelopment project comprises construction of a 120-bed residential aged care facility and 49-apartment retirement living complex in Hawthorn, called Manningtree

The consultant specified two corridor ventilation units that would run continuously. Due to the variable make up air demand to apartment exhausts, the outside air and return air motorised dampers needed to reversely modulate to change the proportion of outside/return air.

The solutions provided to meet the challenge. Why was this product selected?
Research was conducted to assure the equipment would meet the specifications and a project package was arranged to successfully meet the fresh air requirements of the project. With a combination of Dehumidification units, ERV Packaged Air-conditioning units and Ceiling Mount units, the contractor had the project well covered through the one ‘Fresh-Air Equipment’ supplier.
