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.
- Comprehensive pre-commissioning, commissioning and quality monitoring occurred. The design team and contractor transferred the information and documentation to the building owner.
- Appointed a commissioning agent independent of the design team and contractors.
- Provided a comprehensive, yet simple Building Users' Guide.
- An Environmental Management Plan (EMP) was implemented in accordance with Section 4 of the NSW Environmental Management System Guidelines during construction. The contractor held ISO14001 accreditation applicable to the construction works of the building.
- 80% of construction waste (by weight) re-used or recycled.
Indoor Environment Quality
- 50% improvement above the the fresh air rate requirements in AS 1668.2-1991 promotes healthy indoor environment.
- Internal noise levels are minimised to improve occupant comfort from building services and outside entities.
- Volatile organic compounds are minimised in 95% of painted surfaces and all carpets, adhesives and sealants.
- A dedicated tenant exhaust riser is installed to remove indoor pollutants from printing and photocopy areas.
- A carbon dioxide monitoring system is installed to track and adjust ventilation rates with low carbon dioxide levels.
- 30% of the project's net lettable area (NLA) provides good daylight levels for building users.
- Glare from natural lighting is reduced through blinds and shading.
- Installed high frequency ballasts reduce occupants' eye strain from low frequency flicker.
- 60% of the nominated area has direct line of site to outdoor environments.
- The temperature of the work space is comfortable, within Predicted Mean Vote levels of -0.5 to +0.5.
Energy
- The base building achieves at least a 5 Star NABERS (formerly ABGR) rating, with an additional 20% CO2 reduction.
- Sub-metering is installed for all substantive base building uses.
- Sub-metering is installed for all tenancies within the building.
- Lighting power densities are 2.0 W/m2 per 100 lux for 95% of the NLA.
- Individual switches are installed for enclosed spaces and zones in accessible locations.
- Energy systems installed reduce the demand on the grid by at least 25% during peak demand hours.
Transport
- Car parking provisions are 50% less than the maximum local planning allowance.
- The project installed cyclist facilities, with secure bicycle storage for 5% of building staff and accessible shower and change facilities.
- Many public transport networks operate in close proximity with frequent peak hour services.
Water
- The use of potable water is representative of a 'best practice' scenario above standard building usage.
- Metering is installed for all major water uses.
- Cooling tower water treatment achieves 6 or better cycles of concentration for water-based cooling systems.
Materials
- Appropriately sized recycling waste storage is provided in the base building, including collection space for paper, plastic, glass, metal and organic materials.
- 60% of Net Lettable Area (NLA) includes a fully integrated fitout with a tenancy.
- 20% of all aggregate used is recycled aggregate, and more than 15% of cement is replaced with industrial waste product.
- 90% of all steel (by mass) contains a post-consumer recycled content greater than 50%.
- Alternative materials replace 60% (by cost) of total PVC costs.
Land Use & Ecology
- Site was previously developed.
- Development reduces environmental impact upon the site.
Emissions
- No refrigerants are used in this project.
- Refrigerants are to be contained, in conjunction with a leak detection system.
- Project outflow to the sewerage system from building occupants’ usage has been reduced.
- No light beam designs are directed into the night sky or beyond site boundaries.
- All thermal insulation avoids the use of ozone-depleting substances in both manufacture and composition.
