The premium-grade 16-storey commercial tower in Brookfield Place Perth has been awarded 5 Star Green Star accreditation for Office Design (v3) and As-Built Rating by the Green Building Council of Australia.<\/p>
The building has achieved a 5 Star NABERS Energy Rating.<\/p>
From the outset, Brookfield\u00a0has been committed to achieving a \u2018best practice\u2019 result for Brookfield Place Tower 2. Brookfield aimed to excel in design, engineering, placemaking and operational solutions, capable of supporting excellence in workplace.<\/p>
Some of the sustainability features include:<\/p>
Water<\/strong><\/p>- 4 Star NABERS Water rating<\/li>
- Grey water recycling system to recover waste from the fire protection system, tenant showers and hand basins; water is treated and reused for toilet flushing and irrigation<\/li>
- Water saving fixtures used throughout the building while maintaining a very high standard of amenity<\/li>
- Significant reduction in water flow to sewer due to water efficiency and recycling<\/li>
- Water sub-meters installed, and all linked to the BMS to provide leak detection through usage alarms and allow details water usage investigation<\/li><\/ul>
Indoor Environment<\/strong><\/p>- 6 Star Indoor Environment Base Building rating<\/li>
- Thermal modelling undertaken to determine the most efficient ways to achieve occupant thermal comfort levels<\/li>
- End of trip facilities including 345 bike racks, environmentally friendly self-care products provided, high-efficiency hair driers, self-service shoe polishing and on-site bike servicing<\/li><\/ul>
Energy<\/strong><\/p>- Peak electrical demand is 45% lower than a typical building of this size<\/li>
- Installation of the Tri-Generation System that uses a gas-fired generator and reclaims waste heat to provide water heating and space cooling via an absorption chiller<\/li>
- 5 Star NABERS Energy Rating (note: this is impacted by occupancy\/vacancy levels and internal tracking by our contracted NABERS assessor currently shows 5 stars)<\/li>
- High performance, double-glazed, low-E glazing to all facades to reduce solar gain<\/li>
- Installation of the Helvar lighting system that is totally IP addressable to allow easy adjustment to lighting levels and switching patterns to ensure the most efficient and sustainable lighting output<\/li>
- Lighting power densities for 1.5W\/m2\/100lux provided to reduce tenant energy consumption while maintaining appropriate lighting levels<\/li>
- Comprehensive multi-zoned lighting control system linked to access control system for efficiency<\/li>
- Installed lighting classified as \u201cExcellent\u201d from an energy efficiency perspective on the building\u2019s Building Energy Efficiency Certificate<\/li>
- Very low energy consumption from the cooling and ventilation systems, due to cooling design from internal perimeter air movement, complete with full economy cycle<\/li>
- Zero Ozone Depleting Potential refrigerants and insulants used throughout the building<\/li>
- High efficiency, high frequency ballasts specified throughout all areas<\/li>
- Absorption chiller greatly reduces the overall Global Warming Potential refrigerant volumes<\/li>
- Latest destination control lift system reduces electricity usage by anticipating tenants inter-floor movements<\/li>
- All motors are fitted with VSDs for maximum efficiency<\/li>
- Comprehensive metering system that allows monitoring and management of electricity, gas and water consumption within the building<\/li>
- Daily monitoring of energy consumption against weather normalised models<\/li>
- Operational peak demand management program<\/li><\/ul>
Waste<\/strong><\/p>- Waste management, recycling and reporting program that includes collection and weighing of all waste streams, site separation, contamination inspections and reporting<\/li>
- Introduction of ORCA, a machine that \u201cdigests\u201d over one tonne of food waste per month and turns it into environmentally safe water the flows straight into the sewage system<\/li>
- Recent extension of organic waste program to include the recycling of loose coffee ground<\/li>
- Tenant engagement<\/li>
- Provision of a Building Users\u2019 Guide to enable the building to achieve its intended environmental performance<\/li>
- Sharing energy, waste and water data with tenants to encourage better practices<\/li>
- Quarterly Sustainability Roadshows that provide information about wider sustainability matters including recycling, energy usage, City Switch, data usage and wellbeing as well as internal initiative and corporate social responsibilities<\/li><\/ul><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
