Odyssey brings a cool breeze to the Fern Bay Resort
Odyssey continues its journey into the Australian market with its inclusion into the premium Fern Bay over 50’s resort north of Newcastle, NSW.
The resort is part of the Palm Lake Group that operates across the east coast of Australia. The Odyssey system was installed in 253 units at Fern Bay and solved a few challenges faced by the developers. Firstly, an automated energy efficient cooling system had to be found that would provide the required ventilation in the villas. In addition, the cost of providing alternative systems, requiring upgrades to the local power supply, would be prohibitive. Odyssey solved both these challenges.
The local residents have praised the Odyssey system for its ease of use, including the touch screen panel. Odyssey provides many benefits including a cool, fresh home, automatically or on demand. The system also reduces condensation and mould and removes unwanted odours. The cooling function offers relief on those stifling hot days and a comfortable sleeping environment at night. In the cooler months, when homes are colder inside than out, the system can draw warmer outside air into the home, and manage potentially damaging condensation.
