Overview
This will be a benchmark ESD building that provides considerable energy and environmental savings whilst achieving high levels of comfort for the community of people who work within the building.
Lifestyle Working has a commitment agreement to target a 5 star Australian Building Greenhouse Rating (ABGR) certification and has attracted extraordinary attention from government and leading design organisations such as DEGW.
Lifestyle Working will be a premium product expecting solid investment returns to owners and investors and unprecedented benefits to occupiers in terms of workplace innovations, health, employee productivity and retention, technology and specifically, the low greenhouse gas emission/ renewable energy infrastructure. The overall environmental performance of the building has been assessed using the ABGR rating tool as a guideline.
The ABGR star rating evaluates the energy efficiency of the building in terms of energy consumed and resultant carbon dioxide emissions of the lifts, car park ventilation, lighting and air conditioning etc. The ABGR is again assessed on a star rating system from 1 star (worst performing) to 5 star (best performing). The project is targeting an ABGR rating of five stars. The first strata building to do so.
