A.G. Coombs and Thermal Energy Solutions
101 Collins Street, Melbourne
This innovative project in a high-profile existing building showcases a technology solution utilising renewable energy to electrify gas fired systems, thereby removing Scope 1 emissions and improving energy efficiency.
The project converted domestic hot water generation from the original calorifiers connected to the building’s natural gas-fired heating hot water plant, to a system featuring highly efficient commercial heat pumps, and thermal storage tanks heated with renewable energy from solar PV collectors.
This scalable, Australian-designed and manufactured system reduces energy consumption by 81 per cent compared to the previous plant and reduces associated Scope 1 and Scope 2 greenhouse gas emissions.
