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.
- Three of the building's environmental attributes will be displayed for easy understanding with the measurable environmental and economic benefit to the building users.
- 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.
- 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.
- Automated blinds and external 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 25% above the minimum maintained illuminance levels recommended in AS1680.2.3 Table E1.
- 60% of the nominated area is designed for direct line of site to the outdoors or a day-lit internal atrium.
- Daylight modelling shows that 60% of the project's nominated area provides a Daylight Factor (DF) of 2% for building users.
- Internal noise levels are designed for minimisation.
- 95% of adhesives, sealants and painted surfaces and all carpets and flooring are specified to be low in volatile organic compounds.
Energy
- The building is predicted to emit no greenhouse gases per annum, relative to a standard benchmark building.
- Sub-metering is to be installed to monitor lighting and general power consumption for primary functional areas, such as class and lecture areas, office and administration spaces and laboratories.
- HVAC in each separate enclosed space within 90% of the nominated area is designed to automatically shut down when not in use.
- External lighting will be connected to daylight sensors and have a light source efficacy of more than 65 lumens/watt. Outdoor spaces exceed the minimum requirements of AS1158 for illuminance levels.
Transport
- Cyclist facilities are to be provided for 10% of building staff and 10% of the peak number of students at any one time (with 75% occupancy).
Water
- The projected use of potable water for sanitary use has been significantly reduced from a best practice benchmark.
- Metering is specified for all major water uses, with an effective mechanism for monitoring consumption.
- Landscapes are designed for a 90% reduction in irrigation.
- No water-based heat rejection systems are to be provided.
Materials
- A dedicated storage area for separation and collection of recyclables is to be provided in a convenient and accessible location.
- The design of joinery throughout the project has a reduced environmental impact.
- Specified higher than 30% reduction in absolute quality of Portland cement across all concrete mixes. 20% of all structural mixes is recycled and no natural aggregates are used in non-structural uses.
- 95% of specified timber and composite timber products (by cost) to be used in the building and construction works was sourced from more sustainable means or are reused/recycled.
Land Use & Ecology
- The topsoil on the site, and its productivity, will be preserved. All topsoil impacted by construction works will be separated and protected.
- 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 20% 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.
- No water-based heat rejection systems to be included in the project.
