APAC replaced Southern Golf Club's rooftop HVAC unit in under 60 minutes, delivering over 22% energy savings with minimal disruption.
For many years, Southern Golf Club's existing APAC P075 Rooftop Package Unit provided reliable climate control for members, guests and staff. As the unit approached the end of its service life, the club sought a replacement solution that would improve energy efficiency while minimising disruption to daily operations. APAC delivered a seamless upgrade, replacing the existing system with a new P075 Rooftop Package Unit and ensuring business continuity throughout the installation process.
Background
Southern Golf Club is a well-established golfing destination that operates extended hours to support members, events, hospitality services and clubhouse activities. Maintaining a comfortable indoor environment is essential to ensuring an enjoyable experience for patrons throughout the year.
Having delivered many years of dependable performance, the club's existing rooftop package unit was due for replacement. The objective was to modernise the HVAC system while preserving the existing building infrastructure and avoiding unnecessary project costs.
Challenge
With clubhouse facilities operating throughout the day, downtime needed to be kept to an absolute minimum. Any extended interruption to heating and cooling services had the potential to impact member comfort and daily operations.
In addition, the project required a replacement unit that could integrate with the existing rooftop installation. Major modifications to structural supports, ductwork, electrical services or condensate drainage would increase both costs and installation time.
The club needed a solution that would deliver improved performance and efficiency without the complexity of a full HVAC system redesign.
Solution
APAC supplied a direct replacement P075 Rooftop Package Unit specifically selected to match the footprint and connection points of the existing system.
The new unit aligned perfectly with the existing roof platform, electrical entries, supply and return air ductwork, and condensate drain connections. This eliminated the need for costly structural alterations or extensive site works.
Careful planning and coordination enabled an exceptionally efficient installation process. Once the crane arrived on site and the existing unit was removed, the replacement system was positioned, connected and operational in less than 60 minutes. The rapid changeover ensured minimal disruption to the club's operations and occupants.
In addition to maintaining the proven reliability of the P075 platform, the new unit provides improved energy performance and quieter operation, enhancing comfort throughout the clubhouse.

Direct replacement installation with no structural modifications required.
New unit operational in less than 60 minutes from rooftop changeover.
Minimal disruption to clubhouse operations and patrons.
Improved energy efficiency with projected running cost savings of more than 22%.

Outcome
By selecting an APAC direct replacement rooftop package unit, Southern Golf Club was able to modernise its HVAC system quickly, cost-effectively and with virtually no interruption to operations.
The upgrade delivers reliable climate control, lower operating costs and improved comfort, ensuring the clubhouse remains a welcoming environment for members and guests for years to come.
