Awards for Excellence in the Building Professions 1997 – Highly Commended
- Project: Bruce Mason Theatre, Takapuna
- Sam Mukhtar was awarded the NZIOB James Hardie Awards for Excellence in the Building Profession for his innovative HVAC design
- In addition to creating a micro-climate within the audience seating area envelope with low velocity, medium temperature, displacement air supply, the main plant was configured to use 30% less energy than comparable setups used with other similar buildings yielding substantial saving on power usage and cost.
