GForce is proud to have worked with Daikin in supporting One Tree Hill College’s groundbreaking home renovation project, showcasing the value of strong industry partnerships, inspiring the next generation of tradespeople, and promoting sustainable, energy-efficient solutions for Aotearoa New Zealand.

COMMUNITY AND INDUSTRY COLLABORATION
This project was a true collaboration between the community, industry, and education sectors. By working together, the partners demonstrated the power of collective action in addressing key issues such as sustainability, housing, and skills shortages. The project also highlighted the importance of investing in future tradespeople, ensuring a skilled workforce for years to come. The renovated home, now a modern and energy-efficient space, stands as a testament to what can be achieved through collaboration and innovation. It serves as a model for other communities and industries, showing the potential of renovation over demolition and the benefits of adopting sustainable practices.
INVESTING IN THE FUTURE
The project focused on renovating an ex-state house, highlighting the value of refurbishing existing homes over demolition and new builds. This approach aligns with circular economy principles, reducing waste and promoting reuse. Students were involved in every step, from carpentry to installation, gaining hands-on experience in the trades. Daikin’s R32 ducted heat pump was chosen for its energy efficiency, flexible design, and suitability for New Zealand homes. Widely used across Aotearoa, this project showcased the product’s capabilities while supporting the next generation of tradespeople.
The One Tree Hill College home renovation project is a shining example of what can be achieved when industry, education, and community come together. Daikin is proud to have partnered with GForce on this initiative, showcasing the strength of our relationship and the value of collaboration. GForce’s expertise and dedication were instrumental in delivering a seamless installation, and we are thrilled to highlight their exceptional work.

"We are so thrilled to have had the opportunity to partner with Daikin on this amazing project. Both the Daikin team and Charlotte have been a pleasure to work with. To retrofit the house into a healthy, dry, warm home is what GForce is all about."
