9.50 Implementing Best Practice Design And Delivery: Sustaining Your Building Now And For The Future - BNZ HARBOUR QUAYS

This project presented the challenge of providing a large-scale commercial workplace with a vibrant interior space, while also addressing the city in a high profile site within the Harbour Quays development. Manifested through a truly collaborative arrangement between the developer, tenant and their respectve teams, the building is intended to present an openness and transparency to the exterior that gives insight to the actvities within. This project has set the bar for commercial office space within New Zealand and the experience will be extremely useful as a benchmark for our future developments

• Analysing the architecture: Providing an atmosphere of openness, community and transparency
• Investigating the fundamentals: Providing an overview of the structure and bones of the building
• The business enabler: discussing an innovative workplace strategy
• Ensuring an environmentally sustainable design including:
• 100% improvement on standard ventilation rate
• CO2 Air quality monitoring
• Zoning of lighting
• Layout planning with good visual connection to outside views
• Reduction in noise levels through use of materials and acoustic absorptive material
• Use of water efficient fittings

11.00 OPEN DISCUSSION: Collaborating Energy Efficiency And Business Continuity: Grasping A Full Understanding Of The Benefits To Your Organisation

• Highlighting strategies for being more energy efficient: what’s working and what’s not
• Investigating if a green approach is the right approach: proving an ROI and not just going green for green’s sake
• How can I get the best value out of my dollar: getting a decent ROI on top of sustainability
• Using resources more effectively: improving on energy efficiency and cost

11.40 Discussing Energy Saving Initiatives Though Better Data Management: Highlighting Key Achievements To Take Back To Your Building

The building houses the latest in automotive technology and is designed with core ESD principles in mind, including glazing, natural ventilation, shading, insulation, thermal buffers and natural lighting intelligently integrated into the building

• Introducing energy levels exceeding 5 star ABGR model requirements: energy sub-metering and data logging
• Decreasing energy demand by 68% for ventilation and airconditioning: passive chilled water generation (night time cooling)
• Monitoring and controlling car park carbon monoxide: discussing the benefits
• Reducing peak energy demand through chilled water storage
• Introducing thermal chimneys for ventilation
• Analysing how they achieved 47% reduction in water consumption
• Establishing 130, 000 litre capacity for rain water storage for recirculation for toilet flushing, car washing, paint shop needs and night cooling system

1.20 Exploring Your Key Priorities When Refurnishing: A Cost Effective Upgrade For 50 Bridge St, Sydney

Between 2002 and 2006 AMP Capital Investors undertook a continuous refurbishment of its Sydney headquarters. The project was a defensive move as AMP Capital was faced with 38% of leases in the building due to expire at the end of 2003 and the balance by the end of 2006. On completion, the building was valued at 20% more than AMP Capital had forecast in 2001. This also provided a buffer from the current credit crunch issues. If doing the project now, AMP Capital would have a much clearer view of sustainability targets and would aim for at least four-star NABERS energy rating

• Maintaining income throughout the project: consolidating the building as competitively priced A-Grade space
• Increasing the value of the building and its rent potential
• Improving services and performance: incorporating sustainability initiatives wherever possible
• Establishing a new control system to cut energy usage
• Installing a T8 lighting and replacement of double tube 40w tubes with single 36 W

2.00 Producing Outstanding Overall Efficiencies For Long Term Sustainability: A Star Performer

Facilities management issues is the fundamental driver in the design of Macquarie’s 1 Shelly St building, in particular the efficiency of the floor plate, which inherently add to the efficiency of the building due to reduced core areas per floor. This session will showcase how a mix of passive, architectural and mechanical installations can help cut initial consumption levels, reduce peak loads and introduce a greater degree of predictability into long-term cost forecasting

• Analysing energy minimisation strategies that can yield strong returns
• Ensuring all parameters in facilities management are covered
• Utilising passive chilled beams combined with harbour heat rejection and greatly reducing water usage as a result
• Effectively managing critical power supplies like generators, uninterruptible power supplies, IT equipment and sensitive plant equipment
• Detecting on-site problems quickly through an ION Enterprise Energy Management System
• Identifying opportunities in the building to create more operational efficiencies
• Identifying leak detection and determining the area of the building
