Installers
One of the following must be used:
Project Manager & Making Good

Relocation of Condensers
Owners of units 16, 19, 20, 23, 31, 32, 43, 46, 47, 48, 50 and 51 have been advised there was a need to relocate the brackets installed for their condensers because of the potential visual impact of the original positions.
The changes are shown in the attached drawings East Block & North Block.
The above owners are asked to please ensure that their installer is provided with the appropriate drawing for their block in addition to the full set of drawings available from the Iora website.
AC Upgrade Project
Commencing Your Upgrade
Once you have received your Authority to Proceed and your installer is ready to start, please advise our caretaker Marc Wilkinson (0416 116 738) so he can set up lift and floor protection to minimise likelihood of common area damage.
DA Compliant AC Upgrade - Update
March 2014
We are completing project execution with only some temporary firestopping and cosmetic covers to be finalised.
Project execution has required some changes from what was originally planned. To accommodate this, the DA Compliant Info Packs have been updated and are now available below.
Please download version 4 of the Info packs for your building. You will also need to download the corresponding installation drawings which are available separately.

Additional Information
Identification
The holes, pipeways and condenser brackets will be indentified by unit number.
Pipe clamps
Your installers will need to provide the clamps to fix pipe to pipe racks.
Temporary Firestopping
Your holes will be temporarily firestopped and your installers will have to remove the firestopping, install pipework then permanently firestop the hole and certify it has been done to the appropriate standard.
Foyer Inspection Hatches and Cosmetic Covers for Refuse Room Pipework
So installing the metal inspection hatches will not delay installers, the BC will purchase them and issue to installers with installation instructions. The BC will paint the hatches at a later date. Cosmetic covers for pipework in rubbish rooms to be one of the last things to be done.
Owners Responsibilities (extracted from the Info Packs available on the Iora website)
Just a reminder of BC requirements of you and your installer:
- The sound level of the condenser should be no more than 52dB(A).
- Pipework insulation should meet specific requirements for a Class 2 building. Your installer will need to confirm that the insulation proposed to be used is compliant with Section J5 of the Building Code of Australia and will meet Fire Test criteria AS1530.3.
- Only one condenser is to be installed per unit and the condenser size must not exceed 900mm width and 350mm depth.
- If your condenser uses 3 phase power no problem. If single or double phase, your electrician will need to certify the electrical load was balanced when the electrical connection was made.
Existing AC Upgrades
There are 2 types:
- Those with condensers installed outside the plant room and sit on the membrane. These will have to be raised off the membrane so that the membrane can be replaced or repaired in the future.
- Those with condensers in the plant room. Owners should consider moving these outside the plant room because the heat load on a hot summer day may cause the condensers to kick out.
The BC will have condenser brackets for purchase for these owners and will provide holes in the plant room wall for condensers to be moved out.

Acoustic Report for Groundfloor Units
Re: A/C upgrade/Exempt Development
Dear owners and occupiers,
Dan Deng, the acoustic engineer, inspected the A/C upgrade/Exempt Development units on Monday 23rd September.
See a copy of this report. It recommends/approves condenser locations from an acoustic standpoint.
Thanks for your assistance,
Regards,
