PROJECT UNDER CONSTRUCTION

Client: Knowles Group
Contractor: RHCS (Design & Installation)

Project Scope: Design and installation of mechanical services for a prestigious 180-room aged care facility, featuring an energy-efficient low-temperature hydronic radiator system, Daikin VRF zoning, and domestic hot water (DHW) solutions.

Key Project Highlights

Energy-Efficient Heating System
- A low-temperature hydronic radiator system was installed throughout all resident rooms, ensuring optimal comfort with minimal energy consumption.
- The system’s high efficiency supports sustainability goals while maintaining precise temperature control.
Zoned Climate Control with Daikin VRF
- A Daikin VRF (Variable Refrigerant Flow) system was implemented to provide individually zoned heating and cooling, enhancing resident comfort and operational efficiency.
- The system’s flexibility allows for tailored climate control in different facility areas, improving energy management.
Domestic Hot Water (DHW) System
- A reliable and efficient DHW system was integrated to meet the facility’s high demand, ensuring consistent hot water supply while maintaining energy efficiency.
Successful Project Delivery
- Completed ahead of schedule – RHCS demonstrated exceptional project management, ensuring timely handover without delays.
- Delivered on budget – Cost-effective solutions were implemented without compromising quality or performance.
Client Satisfaction
- The Knowles Group received a high-performance, sustainable aged care facility with advanced HVAC and hydronic systems tailored for resident comfort and operational efficiency.

Conclusion

RHCS successfully delivered a cutting-edge, energy-efficient mechanical services solution for this prestigious aged care facility. The project’s on-time and on-budget completion underscores RHCS’s expertise in designing and installing high-performance systems for large-scale healthcare environments.

This facility stands as a benchmark for sustainable, comfortable, and technologically advanced aged care living, reflecting the Knowles Group’s commitment to quality and RHCS’s engineering excellence.

OUR TRUSTED PARTNERS

When we moved into our house last year, just as winter was setting in, we realised we needed to retrofit 2x 30yr old gas boilers for our underfloor heating system. After trying to get quotes, install times from other vendors, Radiant were able to come out on short notice and inspect our system / requirements. Sizing the system was quite complex given the type of piping used in original build, the layout of our house, expected usage of each section and the potential heat loss from single pane windows.
Within a few weeks, Radiant were on on site installing 2x new electric heat pumps including the relocation of DHW units / buffer tanks to make better use of our internal space. Once installed, our house was nice and warm throughout the depths of a Southern Highlands winter and the efficiency of the unit was much better, and I continue to gain efficiencies through minor adjustments (timer settings, buffer tank temperatures etc) which I discuss with the Radiant team. Been a pleasure to work with Jimmy and Josh

Stop before you do anything with your home heating or cooling, or specifically geothermal or with heat pumps, talk to these guys. We've had a very complicated geothermal heating system, multiple heat exchangers, underfloor heating, pumps and also water cooled AC.
Jimmy and the team were the only ones who knew absolutely everything that needed to be done to get it working properly, efficiently. Not only that they explained everything along the way and made sure the system and us as the users were operating it and it was properly setup. My only wish is that we'd engaged Radian Heating and Cooling earlier in the process it would have saved so much time and effort.
These guys solved lots of problems others couldn't and set the system up much better and with more reliability. They are always ready to answer a quick question and very responsive. I rarely write reviews but these guys really deserve the review and you'll be very happy you engaged them. Thanks Jimmy and team !

Schiavello Construction (NSW) was engaged by Waverley Council to finalise the construction of the Bondi Boot Factory Adaptive Reuse Project at Bondi Junction. Schiavello Construction (NSW) contracted the Geothermal ground heat exchanger header pipework scope works to RHCS, whom provided specialist input into the design of the pipework system to allow for an efficient and defect free installation.

The team at RHCS was a pleasure to deal with during construction & would recommend them for any future projects
