HVAC Case Study
Hunter Sports High School - HVAC solution

Project Requirements

The school’s General Learning Areas (GLAs) required a reliable, energy-efficient reverse cycle solution capable of maintaining consistent comfort levels year-round. The specified room conditions were 22.5 ± 1.5 °C, with a focus on:

• Quiet operation to support focused learning
• Zoned control for individual classroom management
• Scalable infrastructure to support future expansion
• Compliance with SINSW mechanical services standards

The installation also needed to accommodate the architectural constraints of a newly built facility (2018), while ensuring minimal disruption to school operations.

Proposed Solution

To meet the performance and compliance criteria, Seeley International proposed a
high-capacity Braemar VRF system comprising:

• 118 × Braemar VRF 8kW Wall Mounted Indoor Units
• 59 × Braemar VRF 16kW Mini Slim Outdoor Units

Units were strategically positioned to optimize airflow and thermal balance across all
GLAs. Minor adjustments to placement were made during implementation to align with site-specific conditions and ensure optimal performance.

Outcome

The installation was completed on schedule and to specification, delivering:

• Uniform climate control across all classrooms
• Enhanced comfort for students and staff
• Improved energy efficiency compared to legacy systems
• Seamless integration with the school’s building management system

This project sets a benchmark for future installations under the SINSW/Seeley contract, demonstrating the scalability and performance of Braemar VRF technology in educational settings. It also reinforces Seeley International’s commitment to supporting NSW’s public education infrastructure with sustainable, Australian-made climate solutions.
