AVEO Bayview Gardens — Village Centre AC Refurbishment
Mechanical consultancy for replacement of two end-of-life central air-conditioning systems (lounge and dining areas) with new Actron reverse-cycle air-cooled split systems at AVEO's Bayview Gardens retirement village
Project story
QEG was engaged by AVEO as Mechanical Consultant for the replacement of two end-of-life central air-conditioning systems serving the lounge and dining areas of the Bayview Gardens retirement village centre. The existing systems comprised a ducted reverse-cycle split serving the lounge and an air-cooled packaged unit serving the dining area, both at the end of their service life. QEG carried out the site inspections, prepared the Mechanical Services Specification (Rev A, tender issue February 2017) and tender documentation, reviewed tender returns, liaised with the building and trade interfaces, and issued the design certificates and completion certificate. The replacement systems were two Actron reverse-cycle air-cooled split systems with fan coil units in the roof space and store room, connected to the existing supply air ductwork and controlled by a 7-day programmable controller in the manager's office, with smoke detection wired back to the building FIP for fire-mode shutdown.
Equipment installed
- 2 x Actron reverse-cycle air-cooled split systems (one serving the lounge area, one serving the dining area)
- Indoor fan coil units in roof space and store room respectively
- Outdoor condensing units relocated to existing adjacent external plant areas
- Refrigeration pipework, ductwork modifications and condensate drainage
- Proprietary 7-day programmable controller with touch pad in the manager's office
- Remote space temperature sensors for each system
- Supply-air smoke detectors wired back to the building FIP with fire-mode shutdown
