Precise Air Group is thrilled to announce that we have been shortlisted as a Finalist in the JLL Vendor Awards 2023 – Excellence in Health & Safety Innovations Category. Like all workplaces, we acknowledge that facility managers and building owners have a duty of care to ensure that all hazards are identified and managed as best as reasonably practicable, to protect occupants, visitors, and their clients’ assets. Precise Air Group’s National HSEQ team designed a fast and efficient online hazard reporting system using LinkSafe, harnessing technology to improve hazard identification, reporting and escalation on client managed sites. This solution was borne out of Precise Air Group’s “IT’s OK TO SAY NO” commitment to its workers, to STOP, EVALUATE & ESCALATE if ever they feel at risk in carrying out a task. Congratulations to Richard Bagnato and Michelle Feldman in developing our solution, and providing the training, and special thanks to our Team Leaders whose proactive implementation of the solution has made this nomination possible.

Thanks to meticulous planning and collaboration between TAFE NSW, JLL and the Precise Air teams, the helicopter lift of 15 air conditioning units at TAFE NSW Wyong was completed in just 20 minutes and 56 seconds from engine start to landing – a fraction of the time of a conventional crane lift. Safety and efficiency were our top priorities for the installation at Wyong. The day began with the landing of the helicopter at 7:30 AM and introduction of the crew to the team. Our Project Manager, Sergio Tovar, conducted the toolbox talk to ensure everyone understood the safety protocols in place and each individual’s role in the operation. Clearly marked exclusion zones prevented unauthorised access. This installation at the TAFE NSW Wyong Campus is just the latest milestone in our ongoing program of HVAC and fire upgrades for TAFE NSW. Our Precise Air and Precise Fire teams are delivering these essential upgrades to over 70 sites throughout the state. Our mission is to partner with our clients, TAFE NSW and JLL, to create comfortable and safe learning environments for students, staff and the community. Please take a look at some of the highlights.

In today’s increasingly digital world, access to technology is no longer a luxury, but a necessity. As we celebrate International Women’s Day 2023 we asked Engineering Manager Biljana Stevanovic, and Estimator Li Liu, what this year’s theme “Cracking the Code: Innovation for a gender equal future’” means to them and how we can encourage young girls and women to take up careers in STEM. We often hear about the challenges of increasing the representation of women in engineering, but Biljana’s positive experience when starting her career in Serbia is one that can be replicated here in Australia. It all starts with education. “The education system is quite different to Australia,” Biljana explained. “I went to a mathematics high school where maths and science were the main subjects and it was a 50-50 ratio of boys to girls…girls were encouraged just as much as the boys were to take up these subjects.” Li had a similar experience during her time as a student in China. “There was never a question of whether STEM was for boys or for girls. Just as many girls were studying engineering as there were studying fashion or nursing.” “As an estimator working in Australia over the past […]

Managing excessive energy use outside rental arrangements across multiple tenancies is one of the many challenges faced by facility managers of large shopping centres. Precise Air’s Building Performance Optimisation (BPO) team were engaged by one of Queensland’s busiest large-format shopping centres to analyse and implement a solution that would provide the FM team with data that could be used to justify accurate energy cost apportioning across tenancies. As this was a retrofit project, the client required a solution that could pull data from the existing solution to avoid replacing the entire system, with a return on investment of less than one year. Accurate and up-to-date data is vital for individualised billing Our client’s existing reporting tool had a number of problems common to older, standalone systems: Inadequate utility usage insights: The Centre’s standard EMS (energy management system) didn’t offer the granular data in the format required to be able to accurately charge each tenancy. It was unable to apportion and visually present electrical data. Existing locally hosted solution: The existing reporting tool was expensive to maintain and was hosted locally on unreliable servers. A solution that simplifies energy cost apportioning The BPO team analysed the current reporting system against their […]
