Case Studies

There is a significant shift taking place in the Air Conditioning market and local manufacturer, Temperzone, is leading the way. In commercial air conditioning, Temperzone has led the innovation towards more environmentally friendly refrigerants, firstly from R22 to R410A, and now from R410A to R32. The shift to R32 provides lower Global Warming Potential and higher efficiency

New World, a supermarket chain under Foodstuffs Co-operatives in New Zealand, recently opened a new store in Hobsonville, a rural suburb of Auckland. New World is committed to sustainability and doing their part to reduce their operational carbon emissions. The stores are 100% New Zealand owned and operated and have a very strong focus on local products. So, it is fitting that the OPA 2100 unit that was installed not only uses R32 refrigerant but was also the first of its model to be made in the Auckland factory. The system was installed by McAlpine Hussmann.

Temperzone recently supplied ECONEX R32 Rooftop Package Units to a half billion dollar automated warehouse project in Redbank Queensland.

In common with other luxury apartment developments in Australia, NZ, and SE Asia, like the Faulkner Building and Eastbourne Apartments in Melbourne and Kota Kasablanka in Jakarta, the "Towers" development in Perth CBD has chosen to use Temperzone HWP Water Cooled package units throughout.

Temperzone’s OPA2100 Eco Ultra recently won the prestigious 2020 AIRAH “Product of the Year” Award. The award recognises excellence in product manufacture, with products assessed on their innovation, energy efficiency, sustainability, originality and industry need.

Temperzone has started releasing its next generation R32 – Inverter compressor product under the ECONEX brand.

Just as Temperzone led the industry with the adoption of R410a in commercial air conditioning systems, we are again leading with R32.

The Warriewood Cinemas replacement project in April 2020 had some slightly unusual application issues. A little lateral thinking, a great product range and the ability to manufacture locally in the middle of a pandemic, produced a successful solution.

Temperzone’s ECO Series of Rooftop Package Units continues to evolve as some of the most energy efficient air conditioning units in the market. With unit capacities ranging from 11.6kW to 193kW Temperzone Eco Rooftop Package Units are used in a huge range of applications from shopping centres to food manufacturing plants to pubs and clubs, schools and office buildings.

Temperzone’s OPA2100 ECO ULTRA has been awarded the CIBSE Highly Commended award for the Product or Innovation of the Year - Thermal Comfort category. The Chartered Institution of Building Services Engineers (CIBSE) Building Performance Awards recognise the people, products and projects that demonstrate engineering excellence in the built environment. The awards are open to organisations, both in the UK and internationally

Building Energy Efficiency is a hot topic at the moment. If you ask an architect about energy efficiency, they will say it is mostly to do with design and construction. A controls person will tell you that real energy efficiency requires a state of the art BMS system. The air conditioning engineer will of course, tell you it’s all about the air conditioning design. The St Columba School library project is a great example of how a holistic approach that integrates design, construction, BMS and air conditioning technology can produce truly exceptional energy efficiency results.

The best way to describe this unusual project is 'Super flexible and controllable'. Temperzone OPA-ECO units meet very clever Modbus programming and solves an almost impossible air conditioning problem. And, oh yes, fit the budget too!

In January this year the “Energy Rating” organisation announced that from April 2019 a standardised method of calculating the Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER) will come into play.

The new OPA 2100 ECO Ultra rooftop package unit is the flagship of Temperzone’s new ECO Ultra range. It’s a 200 kW rooftop package unit with 4 inverter compressors plus a patented humidity control system that makes this unit absolutely unique. Eco ULTRA is a revolutionary climate control solution for spaces where temperature and humidity regulation is critical.
