Join us for this interactive FMANZ member session focused on working effectively with your HVAC and refrigeration contractor to create smart, efficient and sustainable buildings.

Following a short introduction from our industry experts, the floor will open for your questions. This is your opportunity to explore practical ways to ensure your buildings remain comfortable and functional while meeting compliance requirements and achieving sustainability goals.

We’ll cover HVAC and refrigeration systems, building automation, and electrical integration — and how these systems can work together to optimise energy and resource efficiency. Bring your questions and real-world challenges, and gain insights to help you make informed decisions for smarter building performance.

No formal agenda — just your questions, answered in real time. 

Please note that this session will not be recorded.

We’d love to receive your questions for our expert team in advance. Simply email them to steph@fmanz.org. You’re also welcome to ask your questions live during the session.
