Grosvenor Place in Sydney is one of Harry Seidler’s most iconic architectural achievements, blending modernist design with functionality in the heart of the city. Completed in the late 1980s, the tower remains a standout in Sydney’s skyline, renowned for its sweeping views, innovative use of space, and enduring design. With its distinctive curved glass façade and premium-grade office spaces, Grosvenor Place continues to be a prestigious address for businesses seeking both style and substance.
Since its inception, this uniquely designed building has met its heating and cooling demands through an innovative HVAC system that generates ice for cooling using four Stahl chillers as well as heat recovery for heating in addition to a gas fired-boiler. As the Stahl chillers approached end of life and began driving up energy consumption, Grosvenor Place management sought a more reliable and energy-efficient solution to meet the building’s specific heating demands. Having recently completed works on the buildings Toilet Exhaust System and Air Handling Units, VAE had already proven to be a trusted partner for design and construct mechanical works.
