Ducted Air Conditioner Installation Neutral Bay NSW

Platinum AC Transforms 2-Storey Office in Neutral Bay with Commercial-Grade Daikin VRV IV-S Ducted System and MyAir Smart Controller

Platinum AC recently completed a sophisticated air conditioning upgrade at a two-storey commercial office building in Neutral Bay, NSW. The project involved the installation of a powerful Daikin 11.2kW VRV IV-S multi-split ducted air conditioning system, designed to deliver efficient and flexible climate control across multiple zones. To enhance usability and energy management, the system was paired with a MyAir smart air conditioning controller, allowing precise control of airflow in every room from a single, intuitive interface.

This installation not only provides year-round comfort for staff and visitors but also reflects the growing demand for commercial HVAC systems that combine performance, energy efficiency, and smart technology integration.

Tailored Climate Control for a Busy Office Environment

Located in the heart of Neutral Bay, the office spans two levels and houses multiple departments, meeting rooms, and open-plan workspaces. The building’s original air conditioning system was aging and no longer able to meet the demands of the growing business. The client approached Platinum AC seeking a modern solution that would deliver consistent temperature control throughout the premises, support multiple usage zones, and reduce operating costs over time.

Following a comprehensive site inspection and consultation, Platinum AC recommended the Daikin VRV IV-S system, a compact commercial-grade ducted solution designed for multi-room or multi-floor applications. With a capacity of 11.2kW, the system is capable of delivering reliable heating and cooling throughout the building, regardless of seasonal demands or room usage.

Why the Daikin VRV IV-S System?

The Daikin VRV IV-S (Variable Refrigerant Volume) is a premium ducted system that offers scalable, energy-efficient performance in a compact design ideal for light commercial settings. Unlike traditional ducted systems, VRV systems allow for individual zone control using a single outdoor unit connected to multiple indoor units via a network of refrigerant piping.

This made it the perfect solution for the Neutral Bay office, which required independent climate control across several rooms, including private offices, a boardroom, shared workspaces, and common areas. The ability to manage temperatures independently in different rooms meant the office could maintain optimal comfort during varied occupancy and usage throughout the day.

One of the key advantages of the VRV IV-S system is its inverter compressor technology, which adjusts output based on the thermal load of each zone. This not only improves comfort but significantly reduces energy consumption and operating noise, a crucial consideration for office environments.

Smart Control with MyAir

To complement the advanced capabilities of the Daikin VRV IV-S system, Platinum AC also installed a MyAir smart air conditioning controller. This Australian-designed system integrates seamlessly with ducted air conditioning and enables zoned climate control through a sleek touchscreen interface or mobile app.

With MyAir, the office now benefits from:

• Room-by-room airflow control, ensuring staff in every area can enjoy customised comfort.
• Scheduling features that allow the system to adapt to business hours and usage patterns.
• Energy monitoring tools that help management keep tabs on consumption and optimise settings accordingly.
• Remote access via smartphone or tablet, enabling adjustments from anywhere—ideal for management on the go.

The MyAir system also features motion sensors (optional in some rooms), which detect occupancy and adjust airflow automatically. This feature is especially useful in meeting rooms or areas that are only used intermittently, helping to reduce unnecessary energy use without compromising comfort.

Seamless Installation by Platinum AC

Platinum AC’s experienced technicians completed the installation with minimal disruption to daily office operations. The project was planned and executed over two phases to ensure business continuity, with close coordination between the office manager and the installation team.

Indoor ducted units were installed in the ceiling cavities of both floors, carefully concealed to maintain the office’s modern aesthetic. Linear slot diffusers and multi-directional outlets were selected to match the décor while ensuring optimal airflow distribution. Refrigerant and condensate piping were routed through existing cavities and ceiling spaces, reducing the need for structural modifications.

The outdoor unit was installed discreetly at the rear of the building, occupying a compact footprint that didn’t interfere with parking or pedestrian access. With low operational noise and vibration, the system operates virtually unnoticed—an important factor in a quiet office environment.

Once installation was complete, Platinum AC provided hands-on training to the client’s team, ensuring everyone was confident in using the MyAir interface. A detailed handover included all operational manuals, warranty information, and service guidelines.

Outcome: Year-Round Comfort and Efficient Control

The result is a highly efficient, smart climate control solution that enhances the daily comfort and productivity of everyone in the building. Staff members have already noted the improved airflow, reduced temperature fluctuations, and the convenience of being able to control settings from their phones or the MyAir touchscreen.

For the business, this investment also delivers ongoing savings through energy-efficient operation and the ability to heat or cool only the rooms that are in use. The flexibility of the VRV system also allows for future expansion or reconfiguration if the office layout changes down the line.

Conclusion

This installation in Neutral Bay showcases Platinum AC’s expertise in delivering customised commercial air conditioning solutions. By combining the power of the Daikin VRV IV-S 11.2kW ducted system with the intelligence of the MyAir smart controller, Platinum AC has created a scalable, energy-efficient, and user-friendly climate system that meets the needs of a modern business.
