Queensland Plants and Flowers (QPF) in Thornlands, Brisbane, partnered with Evo Energy Technologies to overhaul its heating and cooling systems. The project replaced an inefficient wood-chip boiler and chiller with 12 state-of-the-art EvoHeat CHV air to water heat pumps. This upgrade not only streamlined QPF's hot and cold water distribution but also led to substantial annual cost savings and enhanced energy efficiency for their greenhouse operations.
Queensland Plants and Flowers (QPF), situated in Thornlands, Brisbane, faced high heating costs with its existing LPG-based system. In late 2016, Evo Energy Technologies intervened to replace QPF's outdated and inefficient wood-chip boiler and absorption chiller. The solution involved installing 12 EvoHeat CHV air to water heat pumps, providing a total of 1,680kW for hot and cold water distribution. This upgrade transformed QPF's central energy plants, offering a low maintenance and energy-efficient solution for both chilling and heating their greenhouses. The new infrastructure not only reduced manual labor but also significantly cut down QPF's annual running costs, marking a successful collaboration towards achieving sustainable and cost-effective operational goals.
