spaces include areas such as the Jazz Bar , Culture Hub and pause areas .
Wellbeing A variety of active & calm work support spaces allow for physical , emotional , intellectual and spiritual manner amongst floor plates . Wellbeing spaces include areas such as the wellness centre , the calming headspace room , prayer rooms and Sweat Box gym .
Global Workspaces Global workspaces incorporate a range of spaces which support each other . Open plan neighbourhoods are located against the façade edge to ensure great views and natural light throughout the workspace to benefit employee ’ s wellbeing .
Individual workspaces are designed to facilitate concentration and attention devoted to a particular task or project , working with another person or in a group in person , via technology or a combination of both .
HVAC One of the highlights of this development is that the building has been designed to attain optimal comfort levels by using a thermally activated building system ( TABS ). TABS uses the principle of radiant heat transfer , whereby the structure is cooled ( or heated ) and the human body then exchanges heat with the surrounding structure . In the case of this building , all the floor / ceiling slabs are cooled / heated by passing chilled or heated water through piping loops embedded in the concrete slabs . Thermal comfort modelling has been used to optimise the design of this system , including the selection of the best glazing to provide maximum comfort as well as maximum energy efficiency . The TABS concept results in a 30 % reduction in operating cost for the building , while at the same time providing very stable , draught-free comfort conditions . Any direct radiant heat from the sunlight shining onto the floor surface is immediately absorbed and removed by the TABS system .
Fresh air provision is also maximised by delivering 100 % outside air to all the occupied spaces in the building . This fresh air is pre-cooled or pre-heated to ensure that it is introduced into the space at a neutral temperature . The thermal inertia of the structure also has the benefit of providing continuous cooling / heating even during power outages of between 2 to 4 hours .
Conclusion 358 Victoria brings a world class office building to the still gritty but rapidly developing Salt River corridor and set the bar high for future development in the area .
