Glycol

The Melbourne Market and National Flower Centre utilise a central cooling system to provide a chilled glycol supply to each store tenancy or cool room stand. This centralised system is more efficient than running individual refrigeration, reducing the environmental impact and operating costs for market businesses.

Glycol Usage Portal

Businesses may monitor their glycol via the usage portal within the My MMA Portal. The glycol portal can send automated SMS or email notifications if glycol consumption increases from the preceding seven-day average or drops to zero consumption outside of trading hours.

My MMA Portal

For glycol billing or usage enquiries, please contact MMA Reception. Please report issues with your cooling to the Melbourne Market 24/7 Maintenance Help Desk: 1800 952 266.

The glycol usage portal allows store tenants to:

Glycol usage SMS and email notifications

If you choose to opt-in to the portal you can choose to receive automated SMS messages or emails to your nominated mobile phone number and/or email.

Glycol consumption in your store will be monitored at 15-minute intervals, to determine the daily average consumption of glycol.

If during the hours after trade the glycol consumption in your store increases from the preceding seven-day average or drops to 0 consumption, an SMS or email notification will be sent to inform you of the change.

The SMS and email messages will provide you with the details about your glycol consumption – not the temperature in your store. As a general comment, the level of glycol consumption can indicate a temperature change in the store but by itself does not provide information about the temperature in the store.

If you would like to gain access to the glycol portal to see your store’s usage, download the registration form by clicking here.
