QUT Kelvin Grove Campus Library
The building has been re-designed and refurbished to comply with the current BCA regulations to create the most energy saving solution possible.
The air conditioning design was improved over the previous existing design by providing a greater number of individually controlled perimeter zones to reduce energy usage and lower operational costs.
This was further achieved by implementing a dedicated control switch to activate air conditioning in various individual rooms.
