PHIVE is a key addition to Parramatta’s CBD, providing modern community facilities while prioritising sustainability. The six-level building includes a library, maker spaces, tech labs, sound studios, community meeting rooms, and Council Chambers.

Designed for efficiency, PHIVE features a smart ventilation system that responds to weather conditions, reducing reliance on traditional heating and cooling. EBSA supplied Schneider BT90 thermally broken double-glazed louvres and the digital CPS-M control panel, which integrate with the building’s management system to optimise air quality and thermal comfort.

PHIVE demonstrates how automated facade solutions can improve energy efficiency and indoor environments in public buildings.

EBSA has a range of air quality sensors that can be retrofitted to existing projects and work in conjunction with new or existing automated facade systems to extend the benefits of improved air quality and environmental control to educational and professional environments.
