The HVAC HESS Implementation Committee aims to drive long term improvements in the energy efficiency of HVAC systems through whole of life improvements in HVAC efficiency, encompassing design, manufacture, installation, operation and maintenance. A large part of the gains targeted are in the maintenance and operation of existing systems in existing buildings, and through the establishment of national standard systems of documentation of the design, installation, operation and maintenance of the equipment.
Key elements include:
code of best practice for maintenance and operation
scope and design of a building services log book
development and rollout of Cool Efficiency Program for installation and commissioning best practice
development of a ‘Calculating Cool’ online tool
measurement, monitoring and metering projects.
The HESS has been designed to address many non-technical barriers to efficiency, while identifying and promoting highly efficient technical solutions, systems optimisation processes, and creating the environment in which energy efficiency gains are valued, measurable and sustainable.
