Description
To support the campus-wide electrification strategy, we were engaged to develop comprehensive performance specifications and Principal’s Project Requirements (PPR) for the decoupling of Domestic Hot Water (DHW) systems from the centralized High-Temperature Heating Hot Water (HTHHW) loop. This complex Mechanical and Hydraulic project focused on five major assets: the Menzies Building, Campus Centre, Medicine Building C, New Horizons, and Building 15. The scope required a detailed engineering strategy to transition these buildings to localized, electrified DHW plants while maintaining operational continuity for high-occupancy environments.
Additionally, our team delivered the technical specifications for the full electrification of the Krongold Building’s heating system, which necessitated a significant Electrical upgrade to the Main Switch Board (MSB) to accommodate the increased demand of new heat pump technology. We meticulously coordinated the Mechanical HVAC requirements with the building's Hydraulic infrastructure to ensure new localized systems met all pressure and thermal performance standards.
Our documentation provided a robust, market-ready framework for tendering, ensuring all invited contractors could meet the University's stringent performance and sustainability benchmarks. This project highlights our ability to deliver integrated, multidisciplinary engineering solutions for large-scale institutional decarbonization. By resolving the technical barriers of the legacy steam and hot water loops, we have provided Monash University with a clear path toward its 2026 carbon-neutral goals.
