PHIVE, Parramatta’s new $136 million community and civic building, is to become a cultural hub in the heart of Parramatta’s CBD. It is also set to be Australia’s most sustainable government building.

As part of its cutting-edge design, PHIVE boasts a smart mixed-mode ventilation system. This automatically opens louvres to fill the building with fresh air as needed, and – depending on weather conditions – provides energy efficient mechanical cooling, heating and ventilation via motorised, variable geometry SMARTEMP Helical Vari-Swirl™ Diffusers, type HSC-VS and associated Vari-Smart™ controls for individual thermostatic VAV operation per diffuser. Thermal comfort is optimised as thermal loads shift, and both supply temperature and fan speed of the VRV AHUs are continually optimised for energy savings.

Other SMARTEMP products at PHIVE include:

• SMARTEMP Fixed Helical Swirl Diffuser, type HSC-FD
• SMARTEMP Adjustable Helical Swirl Diffusers, type HSC-AD

More than 1000 pcs SMARTEMP Adjustable Helical Swirl Diffusers, type HSC-AD, were supplied in May 2022 to the spectacular new Bahrain International Exhibition & Convention Centre.
