Site Tour - Pixel

Join the GBCA as we revisit Melbourne’s iconic Pixel Building on Thursday 23 August 2012. Achieving dual 6 Star Green Star – Office Design and Office As Built v3 certified ratings, Pixel is recognised as one of Australia’s greenest buildings and Victorian landmark. A “world-leading” example of environmentally sustainable design and construction, Pixel pushes the boundaries of aesthetics and sustainability incorporating ESD features such as:

• Striking ‘pixelated’ sun shade system
• Unique reed bed grey water recycling system
• Anaerobic digestion system
• Vacuum toilet technology
• 100 per cent fresh air distribution
• Smart window night cooling technology
• Green roof with photovoltaic panels and wind power generation; and
• Purpose-developed “pixelcrete” concrete comprised of 100 per cent recycled or reclaimed aggregate.

Join a tour to see all of these initiatives and more in action at Pixel.
