What we did
Zutari provided heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) solutions, wet services for the casino and arena, and fire services. Green Planet Engineering Services provided wet services for the hotel, WSP handled civil and structural engineering, and CKR provided electrical and electronic engineering during the design phase. An energy centre was constructed as part of the first phase. Green Star guidelines were followed, although no formal rating exists for casinos.
The team faced challenges in coordinating a large number of stakeholders, managing a tight construction programme, and designing sustainable, ergonomic, and cost-effective HVAC systems. Daily engagement and a document control platform enabled the sharing of live Revit models, accelerating project phases.
The air-cooled system’s energy-efficient features include low-friction ducting and piping, inverter direct expansion units in electrical plant rooms, ice storage for peak load demand, and advanced air handling units with economy cycles, CO2 sensors, and variable frequency drives to save fan energy.
