Metering & Verification

We delivered specialised mechanical engineering design services for the critical transformation of Monash University’s Engineering Thermal Precinct. This multi-stage project encompassed Stages 1 and 2 of the precinct’s development, alongside an intensive metering and verification program for the central Boiler House. Our primary objective was to modernise the university’s thermal infrastructure to support long-term operational efficiency and carbon reduction goals. We conducted a comprehensive review of the existing district heating and cooling networks to identify performance bottlenecks and energy losses. Our design solutions focused on the integration of high-efficiency components and the optimisation of fluid dynamics across the thermal loop.

A central component of our work involved the implementation of a robust metering and verification framework within the Boiler House to ensure real-time data accuracy. By establishing precise monitoring protocols, we empowered the university to track energy consumption with unprecedented granularity. Our mechanical designs ensured that new infrastructure integrated seamlessly with the existing campus-wide Building Management System. We prioritised system resilience, ensuring the precinct can maintain peak performance during periods of high demand. This project required close collaboration with university stakeholders to manage complex installation phases without disrupting campus operations. The resulting upgrades have significantly improved the Precinct’s overall coefficient of performance. This project stands as a testament to our expertise in large-scale institutional energy systems and precision mechanical engineering.
