CPS replaced 18-year-old VRF systems with 13 new split pipe air conditioning systems. This reduced carbon emissions and energy consumption, but by largely upgrading like-for-like minimised need to replace existing infrastructure (pipework, ducting, electrical cabling, etc.). The new Trend BMS system was environmentally sound, strictly complying with F-Gas regulations.
