What Airmaster does
Airmaster is a privately held Australian building services company that delivers integrated HVAC&R management, smart building automation, fire safety, and energy solutions across eighteen branches in Australia and New Zealand (with the New Zealand business operated under the Optimum Air brand). Founded in Melbourne in 1988 by Russell Seebach, Barry Page and Noel Courtney, Airmaster combines a services-heavy core (24/7 service and maintenance contracts, projects and installations, fire and Essential Safety Measures compliance, asset lifecycle management) with a proprietary technology stack layered on top of third-party building automation platforms. Core technology includes the Building Services Network (a unified Ethernet TCP/IP fabric for building services data), Intelligent Maintenance (analytics-driven planned servicing using connected devices), PlantPRO (plant room optimisation for 24/7 critical environments), and eValuate (asset lifecycle replacement software). The Automation & Energy division integrates Distech Controls (Titanium-tier partner, first in Australasia), Tridium Niagara 4, Daikin MARUTTO with iPlantManager, and Schneider Electric EcoStruxure.
The company's commercial model is a hybrid of recurring service contracts (multi-year HVAC&R maintenance, fire compliance, lifecycle replacement) and project-based installations (mechanical, automation, BMS upgrades, energy retrofits), sold directly through branch-based enterprise field-sales teams targeting government, healthcare, education, data centres, retail, transportation, industrial and aged care accounts. Named customers include ANZ, Myer, Vicinity Centres, RMIT, Knight Frank, JLL, Melbourne Airport, the Australian Taxation Office (via Ventia), Federal Government (via JLL WoAG), Downer Defence, John Curtin School of Medical Research (ANU), and Tuggeranong Office Park. Active demonstrated outcomes include a 71% energy savings result at Myer Chadstone via variable speed drive optimisation and a 14% energy saving with a 3.1 year payback identified at Emporium Melbourne.
Airmaster is led by CEO Noel Courtney (founder) and Group Managing Director Wayne Bover, with no disclosed institutional or private equity sponsorship. Strategic activity in 2025 has centred on geographic completion of the Australian footprint (Townsville greenfield branch and the AAMS acquisition adding Darwin), a rebrand to Airmaster Automation & Energy to formalise the energy-services proposition, attainment of Distech Controls' first-in-Australasia Titanium tier, and entry into a multi-year community and workforce partnership with Melbourne Victory Football Club. The company holds Refrigerant Trading Authorisation (AU57194, AU05364) and VIC Electrical Licence (REC 9954), has received the 2025 AIRAH Excellence in Diversity and Inclusion Award, the 2024/25 CitySwitch Champion award, and counts a Daikin Global Service Olympics AP Division Silver Medalist among its technical staff.
