MINISTER FOR EDUCATION AND TRAINING

LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY QUESTION

QUESTION NO 1312

Government Schools -

Programmable Thermostats

MR CORNWELL - asked the Minister for Education and Training on notice on 14 June 1994:

(1) Is it a fact that T775 Programmable Thermostats are being removed from ACT Government schools and if so, why.

(2) How many such thermostats were installed-and in how many schools.

(3) When were the thermostats installed.

(4) What was the cost of installation.

(5) What was the expected longevity of the thermostats.

MR WOOD - the answer to Mr Cornwell's question is:

(1) Six Honeywell T775 series controllers are currently being replaced at Hawker Primary School due to varying degrees of progressive failure over the last three months.

(2) T775 series controllers were installed in approximately one third of ACT Government schools. Exact numbers are not readily available.

(3) Installation of these controllers in schools was undertaken over the past 4 years as part of the ACT Government Energy Management Program.

(4) The average cost of installation of each controller was $1,100.

(5) Depending on individual site conditions and the purpose the controller is used for, the expected life cycle is seven years. Failure rates have been low at under 5%.
