George & Adelaide St Refurbishment

BMS works constituted an extensive refurbishment of the control system for a network of central air handler units providing conditioned air to multiple floor VAV units and zone induction units.

The induction units comprise a chilled water coil and constant volume air. Control of these units required a dewpoint algorithm to prevent the production of addition moisture in the building.

Monitoring of operational status and space temperature of tenant supplementary package units and general monitoring and control of plant and equipment including ventilation systems and light circuits provides the building management and maintenance staff with invaluable insight into the operational state of systems.

The 43 floors were successfully completed over a six month period of progressive changeovers with no interruption of services.

  • Queensland University of Technology (QUT) has engaged Systemax on a continual basis for the last 6 years. Their works have incorporated ongoing BMS rectification works, fault finding and ongoing system tuning to maximise optimal energy management control strategies. Systemax has directly contributed to QUT achieving significant energy consumption reductions associated with the day to day operation of air conditioning systems. Their quality of staff, diligence and professional attitude applied to all tasks they are involved with is a credit to Systemax and make them a pleasure to work with.

  • Santos Place is one of a few 6 Star Greenstar commercial buildings in Australia currently performing to a 5 star NABERS Energy rating. As such, overall building performance via the BMS is critical in optimal energy management. Systemax supplied and installed the site BMS and have excelled in their diligence for ongoing plant and equipment tuning to optimise energy performance. Systemax’s approach to quick and professional support via the web based platform provides an assurance that facility management issues are easily dealt with in a timely manner.

  • In my 30 years experience in the building services industry and having gone through quite a few major BMCS upgrades and / or replacements in that time, I have never experienced a project of this magnitude go so smoothly – particularly in an occupied building (which we all know is a potential nightmare if not approached correctly and sensitively). It is a credit to you all, and a shining example of what can be achieved when a project is properly planned and resourced by people who have a passion to deliver a first class service.

  • I have been dealing with Systemax for the last 6 years and cannot recommend their services highly enough. With their state of the art BMS product, combined with extremely efficient installation and programming skills, they always deliver. It's going the extra mile that sets Systemax apart from their competitors.

    Phil O'Connor - Facilities Manager - Australian Property Growth Fund

  • All too often contractors fall short of their commitments. We have engaged Systemax on various projects ranging from simple unit controls, to full 50,000m2 complex BMCS retrofits. Systemax have proven their commitment to delivery time and time again. Their levels of services have rebuilt my faith in the Building Automation industry. The WebCTRL interface is one of the best we have worked with, giving the user real control and useful feedback anywhere, anytime. We would recommend Systemax services and product, and will use them again.
