Sustainable Elements
With the expert guidance of Solid Green
Consultants, a 4-Star Green Building rating was
targeted and achieved. Energy saving strategies
implemented to reduce the overall energy con-
sumption of the building include energy efficient
LED lamps and light sensors that were installed
throughout the entire building, sub-metering of
water, lighting, power and all substantive energy
used; monitored and managed with a BMS system.
In terms of water savings, the building makes
use of sanitary fittings which reduce water
28
consumption. Water meters and an automated
monitoring mechanism are in place to monitor and
manage water consumption.
The building is situated within walking distance
to both the Gautrain and Sandton City Shopping
Centre, as well as various bus stops and transport
interchanges. The building was designed to be
cycling and eco fuel friendly, with shower and
locker facilities dedicated to cyclists and special
parking bays for users of alternative fuel vehicles.
