Independent CSIRO testing and a national DCCEEW bench-testing program confirm Cresstec’s expertise in refrigerant charge optimisation, proving how preventable HVAC faults increase energy use, emissions and costs. Discover why Cresstec is setting new industry standards in performance and maintenance.

Commercial buildings are under growing pressure to cut operating costs, strengthen energy performance, and align with tighter decarbonisation expectations. Yet across Australia, one of the biggest and least understood expenses is hiding in plain sight. HVAC systems that appear “off,” properly scheduled, or fully optimised often continue running in the background, cycling unnecessarily or even working against themselves. This silent behaviour burns electricity, inflates emissi

Our early refrigerant gas leak testing helped trigger a wider CSIRO study into HVAC performance. The results reshaped how refrigerant loss is understood, and what to do about it.

If your business requires HVAC, which typically accounts for around 50% of a building’s electricity use, your performance over the next decade will be judged on measured energy results and refrigerant stewardship, not vague commitments.
