Category Achievements
Management
- A Green Star Accredited Professional is a principle participant in the project team to provide advice on the Green Star aims and processes from design through to the delivery.
- Contracted to provide comprehensive pre-commissioning, commissioning and quality monitoring for all building services. The design team and contractor are to transfer the information and documentation to the building owner upon completion.
- Contracted for a minimum 12 month building tuning period after handover, including quarterly reviews, monthly monitoring and final re-commissioning.
- Committed to provide a comprehensive, yet simple Building Users' Guide.
- The contractor is required to implement a project-specific Environmental Management Plan (EMP) in accordance with Section 4 of the NSW Environmental Management System Guidelines during construction. The contractor must also hold ISO14001 accreditation applicable to the construction works of the building.
- Committed to re-using or recycling 80% of construction waste (by weight).
Indoor Environment Quality
- Ventilation rates are designed for 50% improvement above the the fresh air rate requirements in AS 1668.2-2002.
- Internal noise levels are designed for minimisation.
- All carpets are specified as low in volatile organic compounds.
- A dedicated tenant exhaust riser is specified to remove indoor pollutants from printing and photocopy areas.
- Ventilation is designed for superior air change effectiveness, according to ASHRAE 129-1997 and laminar flow patterns.
- A carbon dioxide monitoring system is specified to track and adjust ventilation rates with low carbon dioxide levels upon occupancy.
- Daylight modelling shows that 30% of the project's net lettable area (NLA) provides good daylight levels for building users.
- Blinds and shading are components of the design, reducing glare from natural lighting.
- High frequency ballasts are to be included to reduce occupants' eye strain from low frequency flicker.
- Lighting levels are designed to be maintained at no more than 400 lux for 95% of the NLA at working plane.
- 60% of the nominated area is designed for direct line of site to outdoor environments.
- The mechanically air-counditioned work space is designed to be a comfortable temperature, within Predicted Mean Vote levels of -0.5 to +0.5.
Energy
- The base building greenhouse gas emissions are projected to be less than 50 kgCO2/m2 per annum.
- Sub-metering is to be installed for all substantive building uses with an effective mechanism for monitoring data. Metering is separated for lighting/separate floors.
- Lighting power densities are specified as 2.0 W/m2 per 100 lux for 95% of the NLA.
- Office lighting is designed for zones of not more than 100m2 and for all individual spaces, with switches in accessible locations.
Transport
- Of the total parking on the site, 10% of parking is designed for small vehicles and 5% is designed for mopeds and/or motorbikes. Of all the preferred parking spaces, 80% are dedicated solely for car-pool participants, small cars, hybrids or other alternative fuel vehicles.
- The project is to include cyclist facilities, with secure bicycle storage for 10% of building staff and accessible shower and change facilities. The project will also install visitor cyclist facilities near a major public entrance.
- Many public transport networks operate in close proximity with frequent peak hour services.
Water
- The projected use of potable water is designed to be a leader in efficiency.
- Metering is specified for all major water uses, with an effective mechanism for monitoring consumption.
Materials
- A dedicated storage area for separation and collection of recyclables is to be provided.
- 90% of Net Lettable Area (NLA) is designed with a fully integrated fitout.
- Specified up to 30% reduction in absolute quality of Portland cement across all concrete mixes.
- 90% of all steel (by mass) specified is reused or contains a post-consumer recycled content greater than 50%.
Land Use & Ecology
- 75% (or greater) of the site was previously developed.
- Development will reduce environmental impact upon the site.
Emissions
- All specified HVAC refrigerants have an Ozone Depleting Potential (ODP) of zero.
- All specified thermal insulation avoids the use of ozone-depleting substances in both manufacture and composition.
- Predicted project outflow to the sewerage system from building occupants’ usage has been reduced more than 50% compared to an average-practice benchmark.
- Exterior lighting designs comply with AS4282 and do not direct any light beams into the night sky or beyond site boundaries. At least 95% of outdoor spaces are not to exceed the minimum requirements of AS1158 for illuminance levels.
