Telopea Park School isn’t just Canberra’s oldest operating school—founded in 1923—it’s a landmark of our city’s educational history. Serving generations of students, this heritage site combines tradition with ongoing innovation.

IES Automation is proud to support the school in maintaining a comfortable and efficient learning environment. Our team upgraded and automated the boiler plant and heating system, ensuring reliable hot water supply to radiators and fan coil units throughout the campus. By integrating advanced, energy-efficient controls, we’ve modernised the system while respecting the heritage of this iconic building. The result is a sustainable, efficient heating solution that supports both students and staff for years to come.
