The Kingston Centre has reverse cycle air conditioning and ventilation boxes to improve player comfort.
Heating/Cooling
The centre has 2 (20 year old) air conditioners that members can turn off and on using the remote control located in the middle of the seating / viewing area (near court 3). The remote must be returned to its 'holder' when not in use. As TTACT has significant electricity costs at commercial rates:
- If the air conditioner is needed, ensure the northern exit door is closed and the main exhaust fans are off (switch part of the main light switch near court 3).
- If it is too warm inside, but outside is significantly cooler (typically in summer at 8pm) please switch the A/C off, open main and northern exit doors, and turn the main exhaust fans on (switch part of the main light switch near court 3).
- The temperature of the centre should be based on player comfort and not spectators i.e. in winter, players will prefer the centre to be cooler than people just watching.
Air Quality
TTACT installed 4 Ventilation Systems (4 white boxes on the walls) to improve air quality and playing conditions (reduces humidity) when doors are closed. The systems automatically return to lowest speed after 1-2 hours. Members can increase the speed by pushing the buttons to increase air flow. You can find out how the boxes work here. Unlike the main ventillation fans, these systems are designed to be used at the same time as the Air conditioners and can generally remain on.
Member Responsibilities
All members have a responsibility to help manage the heating and ventilation of Kingston Centre for the comfort of players and to be as energy efficient as possible. The following guidance is provided:
. members may turn heating / cooling on - ensure no doors are open, return control to holder.
. members should turn heating/cooling off and if needed exhaust fans off.
. if you are closing centre at end of day, check that heater/cooler is turned off.
Defibrillator
The Kingston Venue has a HeartSine 350P defibrillator kit located near Court #3. Thank you to Icon Water for $3000 sponsorship in 2020, with $1000 contributing to the new defibrillator.
It is important that all members contribute to the management and safety of the Club. There are three information sheets attached to the wall beside the cabinet with helpful information. Please watch below video that goes for 3 minutes and shows how to use it:

The cabinet is 'Alarmed' and it is set to make a noise when someone opens the cabinet door. This is intended to alert all others in the building if opened for use in an emergency.
Members are asked to check for the green light which flashes about every 4 seconds. Email info@tabletenisact.org.au immediately if you see it flash red instead of green.
