ACE Consulting Engineers Designs Advanced Ventilation for RPM Hire's Thomastown Facility
ACE Consulting Engineers successfully designed and implemented a state-of-the-art HVAC system for RPM Hire’s Thomastown facility. This project specifically addressed the critical need for robust garage exhaust and fresh air intake, creating a safer and healthier environment for workers by effectively managing vehicle emissions. Our solution ensures NCC 2022 compliance and significantly improves indoor air quality where heavy machinery frequently idles.
Project Overview:
Located in the industrial hub of Thomastown, RPM Hire’s facility required a tailored ventilation solution for its equipment garage. The space frequently houses idling vehicles and heavy machinery, necessitating an advanced mechanical ventilation system to remove exhaust fumes and maintain healthy indoor air quality for workers.
Our Engineering Solution:
ACE Consulting Engineers provided a full HVAC design and documentation package that included:
- Garage Exhaust System Design: High-capacity extraction fans and ductwork were designed to effectively remove vehicle emissions, including carbon monoxide and nitrogen dioxide, ensuring compliance with AS 1668.2 standards.
- Fresh Air Intake System: Strategically placed intake vents and air movement systems were incorporated to ensure adequate air replenishment and circulation throughout the space.
- System Integration: The design prioritized energy efficiency and automation, incorporating sensors and timers for smart fan control based on occupancy and pollution levels.
- NCC 2022 Compliance: The design was engineered to meet all performance requirements under NCC 2022, including fire safety, airflow rates, and system redundancy.
Why It Matters:
Ventilation in industrial garages is not just about comfort—it’s about safety and regulatory compliance. Poorly ventilated garages can become hazardous due to the build-up of toxic gases. ACE’s solution for RPM Hire ensures the health and safety of the staff while supporting the facility’s daily operations without compromise.
