Aero Healthcare, 2 Cameron Drive, Armidale, NSW
When Aero Healthcare experienced severe overheating issues in their facility, the client turned to CORE for support.
As a national supplier of first aid and medical products, their building needed to be safe, comfortable and operationally reliable.Instead, newly installed glazing was creating extreme internal temperatures, compromising both comfort and safety.
Pinpointing the Root Cause of Extreme Heat
Our facade team guided the client through a structured process to uncover the root cause. Testing revealed that, even in winter, the internal surface temperature of the glass could cause third-degree burns within one minute of contact – a clear sign that something in the glass design had gone wrong.
Practical, Cost-Saving Fix with Lasting Confidence
Rather than proposing a costly full replacement, we developed a practical, cost effective solution. By reversing and reinstalling the glazing panels, performance could be restored without major expenditure. A site trial confirmed the
effectiveness of the approach, with retesting showing that surface temperatures returned to safe levels. We also conducted a sun study to ensure the solution would perform year-round across seasonal changes.
The outcome for Aero Healthcare was a safer, high-performing building envelope – achieved with minimal disruption and significant cost savings.
Beyond resolving the technical issue, our people-first approach meant working alongside the client with clear communication, transparency and ongoing support. CORE continues to monitor glazing performance in partnership with the client, ensuring the building remains fit for purpose long into the future.
