D2.01 Heating and cooling cont... • Apartment outside air ventilation requirements will be meet via openable windows and not by mechanical ventilation systems. • The Architect is to ensure opening sizes satisfy the minimum NCC ventilation requirements. • Maximum permissible noise levels will be in accordance with relevant Aust. Standard, NCC and project Acoustic Consultant. • Glazing: Glass type and characteristics will be as per ESD consultant advice. • Building Envelope: Building envelope characteristics will be as per ESD consultant advice. Note: Design conditions to be taken from AIRAH (Australian Institute of Refrigeration Air Conditioning and Heating) comfort design Manual for conditions at Projects locality. Heating and Cooling Design Considerations Checklist: All condenser units be located, subject to Housing Choices approval in order of preference: 1. Roof plant deck 2. Basement Car park / Under croft carpark. 3. Apartment balconies All condenser locations to be confirmed with Housing Choices. • Consider condenser locations and avoid locating adjacent to bedrooms. • Reverse-cycle split system air conditioning to living areas. Any variation to this requirement is to be done with prior consent of Housing Choices development or project manager. • Where condensers are located on dwelling balconies above ground floor, d screening of condensers is to be considered to create a non- climbable safety barrier and screen off unit. • Provide ceiling fans to bedrooms (ensure ceilings facilitate safe installations). • Electric panel heaters to bedrooms as required. (South Australia, Victoria & Tasmania). • Ensure any tundish locations are coordinated fully and concealed within joinery if connecting into kitchen or bathroom wastes.
Exhaust systems Section Summary Separate dedicated exhaust systems discharging to façade and exhausting to outside will be provided to ventilate: ○ Bathrooms, en-suites, common area toilets. ○ Laundry and European laundry. ○ Waste and re-cycling rooms ○ Cleaners room ○ Lift lobbies and associated corridors that do not have direct access to openable windows or vents. • Exhaust fans are to have the capacity to easily perform and operate with the required duct lengths within each dwelling. for automation (Bluetooth, Wifi and/or Z-Wave compatibility). See section D6 Home Automation Security of this document for further details. Low Density Heating and Cooling Design Considerations Checklist: • Ensure condenser units are concealed from view. If condensers are located at roof level, consider screening to obscure direct line of sight. SDA Heating and Cooling Design Considerations Checklist: • Reverse-cycle split system air conditioning must be installed to living areas and master bedroom. Any additional bedrooms should be fit with required services to allow for future installation of split system unit where possible. • Heating-cooling system is compatible with assistive technologies used • Condensate pumps are not acceptable. • All reverse-cycle split systems must have a minimum warranty period of 5 years. High Density Heating and Cooling Design Considerations Checklist: • Where multistorey developments only provide split systems for heating and cooling Housing Choices will accept this so long as natural cross ventilation opportunities are maximised in lieu of relying on mechanical ventilation and all operable windows must have flyscreens.
