Sydney masonic center
description of project
The venue required the upgrade of existing mechanical infrastructure to provide much improved energy efficiency for this large variable load conference and function centre, and to simultaneously reclaim Net Lettable Area by relocating the mechanical plant and equipment to the roof top.
We worked in a partially live environment for 9 months, with only a 3-month actual shut down. As an architecturally- designed heritage building, the team were aware of the requirements of the building, ensuring all HVAC works were designed around existing structures, reconfiguring duct work and services to utilise existing penetrations as much as possible.

UPGRADING:
- the stair pressurisation system
- smoke handling systems associated with mechanical services
DESIGNING:
- all mechanical services in the building and developing milestones within the program in order to meet the required finish date
- all new roof-mounted air-handling plant and duct work, as well as their construction
REMOVING
- existing central plant and all associated fan coils and replacing these with variable refrigerant volume (VRV) systems.
REPURPOSING
- plant rooms into future potential conference spaces in coordination with the removal of hazardous materials.
OUTCOMES
PJS Air worked flexibly around the client to meet the program.
