Hot water is provided through the use of a 5,5kW heat pump to showers in the upper basement level and for use in kitchens and wash hand basins . Water saving initiatives include water efficient sanitary fittings , and an aircooled heat rejection HVAC system rather than a system using potable heat rejection water . The system uses refrigerants with an ozone depletion potential ( ODP ) of zero ; and does not include any component systems that might pose a risk of legionella infection .

This area is linked to the Westend Precinct larger waste and recycling centre which facilitates sorting of paper and cardboard ; plastic , glass and cans ; metals ; and general waste .
