Through the use of the geothermal heat pump, the Bendee Downs shearing
shed will be a more hospitable place for both occupants and tenants of the
structure. However, this form of temperature control will not be sufficient in
the means of maintaining a comfortable temperature within the shearing shed.
Additional measures of temperature control will be implemented through the
use of insulation. This insulation will assist in sustaining a comfortable
temperature within the structure. The Bendee Downs area is described as a
hot, dry climate as shown in Figure __ and reducing heat gain is of most
importance. (Commonwealth of Australia, 2008)
