Lowering heating hot water temperature to reduce CAPEX & OPEX
Hosted at the University Of Technology (UTS) in Sydney, by A2EP CEO Jarrod Leak, A2EP Program Director - Commercial, Peter Haenke, and A2EP Technical Advisor, Michael Snow.
The Australian Alliance for Energy Productivity (A2EP) is delivering two commercial building electrification workshops, one each in Melbourne and Sydney ahead of the 2026 winter season. Building on successful workshops delivered in 2025, the revised program places a stronger emphasis on building owner and manager capability, informed consultant engagement, risk management, and real-world case studies from organisations already progressing electrification programs.
Each four-hour workshop will combine practical guidance, peer learning, and first-hand case studies from leading building owners and operators. Participants will also have the opportunity to attend site tours of operational heat pump installations, reinforcing learning through real-world application. Last year’s program saw dozens of buildings undergo HHW temperature lowering programs during the winter of 2025, resulting in >80% of buildings reducing HHW temperatures to 55C which will greatly reduce the CAPEX and OPEX of the electrified heating solution.
Each workshop will be delivered over 4 hours by a team comprising:
Julian Sutherland from Jones Lang LaSalle (JLL)
Michael Snow from Turner and Townsend
+ case study presentations
Before the workshop, there will be a guided site tour of Victoria Park Pool facilities. The site features three CS-i250 pool heat pumps, with an actuator valve allowing one unit to heat the wader pool during shoulder seasons and summer months. A CO₂ potable hot water system is also installed, with all equipment integrated into the building management system (BMS).
Lunch will be provided.
Limited tickets available!
Ticket prices:
A2EP Members: $185 + GST
Non-A2EP members: $395 + GST
