8. Sustainable Design Initiatives and Systems

Issue Performance Commitments / Description Comments

Indoor Environmental Quality

Natural Ventilation & Daylight

All living rooms and bedrooms have access to abundant natural daylight and adequate ventilation through extensive façade glazing and a combination of openable windows and sliding doors.

Apartment layout design has been developed with particular regard to achieving best-practice daylight amenity to all living spaces and bedrooms.

These features will improve comfort and amenity for residents and reduce peak cooling demand and greenhouse gas emissions arising from mechanical cooling.

Thermal Comfort Thermal comfort for occupants will be enhanced by the specification of high performance glazing.

Note that many apartments will receive direct sunlight due to the arrangement of apartments within each floor plate.

Solar Access The building form and apartment layout has been configured to ensure that the majority of apartments have a Northwest, North or South-east orientation and therefore receive direct solar access.

Reduction of pollutants All interior paints, adhesives and sealants will be Low VOC type to improve indoor environmental quality for residents.

50% of paints by cost will be ultra-low VOC emission (<5g/litre).

All engineered wood products will contain no or low levels of formaldehyde.

Low VOC paints, adhesives, and sealants will be specified to meet the requirements of Credit 13.1 of the Green Star Design & As Built tool, Version 1.2

The ultra-low VOC paint specification meets the innovation requirements of Credit 30C of the Green Star Design & As Built tool, Version 1.2.

Formaldehyde emissions for engineered wood products will be specified to meet the requirements of Credit 13.2 of the Green Star Design & As Built tool, Version 1.2.

Appliances will be specified during design development in order to meet nominated performance standards.




Apartment Energy Ratings The development will achieve an average energy rating of 6.5 stars and a minimum 5.5 stars for each apartment.

The development energy rating achieved exceeds the NCC 2016 energy efficiency requirements for Class 2 dwellings by 10% (based on total energy loads).

The development thus attains the minimum mandatory requirements for Green Star credit 15B.0 and also meets the SDAPP best practice standard for energy efficiency.

Refer to Appendix 3 for details of building fabric assumptions.

Non-residential energy performance

10% improvement on energy performance of building envelope to non-residential (NCC Class 2) areas.

This will be demonstrated via JV3 modelling methodology using NCC minimum Section J DTS provisions as the reference case.

Energy Management & Control

To encourage energy conservation, all apartments will be fitted with shut-down switches which will facilitate turning off non-essential power use when residents vacate their rooms.

This feature is expected to facilitate energy conservation practices and minimise greenhouse emissions during the occupation of the development.

Renewable Energy System The following renewable energy system will be installed:

• A 26-kW peak solar photovoltaic system on the roof providing renewable energy to offset greenhouse emissions arising from common area energy usage of the development.

• Embodied ecological impacts of PV array and support racking will be reduced by over 20% through use of 300Wp 60-cell modules with efficiency over 20% greater than standard PV modules.

• Embodied impacts of PV modules will be further reduced by procurement from a manufacturer with an above average rating on the current version Silicon Valley Toxics Coalition Solar Scorecard.

The system is predicted to result in equivalent avoided greenhouse emissions of approximately 43.6 tonnes CO2-e each year.

Refer to Appendix 6 for details of proposed system capacity and panel numbers.

Heating & Cooling Space heating and cooling for living areas will be provided by reverse cycle heat pumps with a minimum energy star rating (heating mode) within 1 star of the best available at the time of tender.

Efficient reverse cycle units in conjunction with a thermally efficient building envelope are considered to be an environmentally acceptable method of conditioning apartments.

10. Conclusion

This report sets out a range of sustainable design features which are integrated into the design and specification

of the proposed development, in order to improve environmental outcomes during construction and occupation.

This report provides a detailed analysis of ESD performance outcomes utilising relevant ‘tools’ which are

referenced in the Port Phillip Environmentally Sustainable Development Policy.

In terms of performance outcomes, the analysis presented in this report demonstrates that the proposed

development can achieve a Green Star 5 Star Rating which is defined as Australian Excellence standard by

the Green Building Council of Australia

The analysis undertaken also confirms that the proposed development achieves a NatHERS energy rating 10%

above the applicable NCC standard and meets the Best Practice standard for Urban Stormwater Quality.

Accordingly, the sustainable design outcomes from the proposed development are considered to be appropriate

for a Build to Rent mixed-use development of this scale. The outcomes are also consistent with the objectives

of the Environmentally Sustainable Development Policy and the Water Sensitive Urban Design Policy set out

in Clause 22.12 and Clause 22.13 of the Port Phillip Planning Scheme.

NOTES

The energy rating software accredited by the Australian Building Codes Board contains a relatively limited

library of window systems. When the glazing systems specified are not available in the software, the protocol

requires that the glazing type which most closely matches the specified glazing is selected for the purpose of

calculating the energy rating.

The table above sets out the glazing specified on the architectural drawings together with the glazing input for

the purposes of calculating the energy rating.

The whole of window U – Value must be equal or lower than the energy rating software value and the whole

of window SHGC – Value must be within +/-5% of the energy rating software value.



General Rating Assumptions

Appendix 5: WSUD Maintenance Manual

Rainwater Harvesting System Maintenance Program

Once installed, a systematic maintenance program will be implemented by the owner’s corporation

maintenance contractor to ensure the rainwater harvesting system operates as designed and water quality is

maintained.

The scope of the maintenance program will include inspection and rectification of issues associated with:

• Roof gutters and downpipes

• First flush screens and filtration devices

• Pumps

• Distribution pipework and reticulation systems

• Overflow systems

Inspections of the system and any maintenance works required will be undertaken on a quarterly basis.

The rainwater harvesting system will be installed in accordance with the guidelines set out in the Rainwater

Design & Installation Handbook published by the National Water Commission3. A schematic diagram of the

rainwater tank installation is provided below.

3 Rainwater Design & Installation Handbook, National Water Commission, 2008



Appendix 6: Solar Photovoltaic System

High-efficiency solar PV modules with a total capacity of 26 kWp will be installed at roof level as per the

preliminary layout indicated below.

Each PV module will be oriented northwards at 10-15° tilt and have at least 300Wp capacity (i.e. over 20% more efficient than traditional 250Wp 60-cell modules). High-efficiency modules deliver more compact arrays with inherently lower embodied ecological impact per unit of generation than standard efficiency modules.

Indicative Solar Photovoltaic array layout

Total yield of this array will be approximately 37 MWh per annum equating to an estimated annual carbon

emissions offset of 43 tonnes CO2-e per annum.
