Perth College HVAC and BMS System Upgrade

Scope of Work

We were on site at Perth College in Mount Lawley to upgrade the Science and Library blocks, swapping out old, end-of-life gear and bringing in new HVAC systems plus a modern BMS setup. The old kit had done its time, so the aim was to make the buildings easier to run, more reliable day to day, and more efficient on power without making it a headache for anyone on site.

Project Details

Replacing End-Of-Life Equipment 

First step was getting rid of the tired equipment that was on its last legs. We replaced it with new systems better suited to how those buildings get used, so the spaces hold comfort properly across the day instead of drifting around or needing constant fiddling. 

 

Installing The New BMS 

We also put in a new Building Management System (BMS) to bring the control side up to scratch. That gives the school better control over heating and cooling and helps the systems run smarter in the background rather than just hammering away when they do not need to. 

 

Running The Site More Efficiently 

This upgrade was not just about new equipment for the sake of it. With the new systems and BMS working together, the school can run the buildings more efficiently and cut down wasted run time, which helps bring the power bills back under control. 

 

Testing, Commissioning, and Handover 

Once everything was in, we tested and commissioned the lot to make sure it was doing what it should. Then we handed it over as a clean, practical setup that is easy to live with. 

 

Project Challenges and Solutions 

 

Working Around a Live School 

You cannot just shut down a school and do whatever you want. We planned the work to keep disruption low and keep things running smoothly while the changeover happened. 

 

Keeping It Simple for the Site Team 

The goal was better control and efficiency, not a complicated system no one wants to touch. The end result is straightforward to manage, with the smarter operation happening behind the scenes. 

 

Client Feedback 

The team at Perth College was happy to have the old end-of-life equipment replaced with a newer, more reliable setup. They also liked that the new BMS and upgraded systems give them better control and more efficient operation, without adding extra daily hassle.
