At PSB Air, we understand the challenges coastal environments present to HVAC systems. Salt-laden air and harsh weather conditions demand solutions that are both durable and energy-efficient. That’s why we collaborated with JV Projects Group on North Avalon Apartments, a boutique 12-unit development located at 27–29 North Avalon Road, Avalon Beach. Our goal was to design and install a high-performance HVAC system that ensures year-round comfort while withstanding the unique demands of the coastal environment.
Designing for Coastal Living
The North Avalon Apartments project exemplifies modern, high-quality living, with a focus on luxury, comfort, and energy efficiency. The HVAC system had to meet several specific needs:
- Protection against corrosion caused by salty air and harsh weather
- Energy-efficient operation to reduce long-term costs for residents
- Seamless integration into the apartment’s contemporary design
- User-friendly climate control to enhance comfort and convenience
A Customised HVAC Solution
PSB Air’s approach is to deliver tailored HVAC systems that address the unique challenges of each project. For North Avalon Apartments, we provided:
- Energy-efficient air conditioning units designed to deliver consistent comfort throughout the year while minimising energy costs
- Coastal-grade components, including corrosion-resistant coils and enclosures, to ensure durability and reduce maintenance needs
- Seamless system integration that preserves the aesthetic integrity of the apartment’s design without compromising internal comfort
- Smart climate control systems that allow residents to manage their indoor environment with ease
Incorporating VRF Technology
A key component of this project was the use of VRF air conditioning systems, which are particularly well-suited for multi-unit residences.
These systems provide:
- Zoned climate control, enabling each apartment to manage its temperature settings independently
- Simultaneous heating and cooling, ensuring different rooms or units stay comfortable year-round
- Quiet operation for a disturbance-free living experience
- Reduced energy consumption, as the refrigerant flow adjusts based on demand
This technology ensures that the apartments not only meet residents’ comfort needs but also offer a long-term, energy-efficient HVAC solution.
Expected Outcomes
Once complete, North Avalon Apartments will benefit from:
- Consistent indoor climate control across all seasons
- Lower energy bills thanks to the high-efficiency system design
- Long-lasting durability in a challenging marine environment
- Minimal maintenance and simple, intuitive operation for residents
