These technologies were selected not only for their performance but also for their alignment with environmental sustainability goals.

A standout feature of this project was the implementation of Greenstar BMS reporting. This system provides detailed insights into the building’s environmental performance, allowing for continuous monitoring and improvement. It ensures that Marian College can maintain high standards of energy efficiency and environmental responsibility, reflecting Beattie Air Conditioning’s commitment to sustainable practices.

Moreover, Beattie Air Conditioning introduced value-engineered options to help manage and reduce costs. This involved a meticulous review of design and materials to identify the most economical solutions without sacrificing quality or efficiency. The result was a significant cost saving for the client, demonstrating Beattie Air Conditioning’s ability to deliver high-value projects within budget constraints.

One of the unique challenges of the Marian College project was to ensure that the HVAC systems not only met the functional needs of the school but also enhanced the overall learning environment. By providing reliable climate control and superior air quality, Beattie Air Conditioning has contributed to a more comfortable and conducive learning atmosphere for students and staff.
