spaces and use of occupant friendly materials and finishes . Dedicated exhaust risers within the tenancies ensure that air pollutants from printing machines are exhausted outwards .
The building ’ s optimal energy performance is achieved through a rigorous commissioning of the services , use of energy efficient airconditioning and lighting systems as well as the implementation of a comprehensive energy metering strategy . Where individually enclosed spaces are unoccupied for a period of time , the Building Management System automatically switches off electricity consuming services .
Water efficient fittings , endemic type of landscaping and a comprehensive water metering contribute to the efficient use of potable water .
Given the location of the building in the wider Merchant Place Campus , it makes use of centralised existing services and facilities , e . g . standby generator farm , back-up chiller capacity , wider campus BMS , and parking spaces , which for a conventional building would have had to be sourced independently . This arrangement makes the project unique from a re-use of equipment and facilities perspective , which certainly contributes to the improved overall environmental performance of the building .
Waste management was handled in a responsible way during construction of the building , and an Operational Waste Management Plan was implemented by the project owner to ensure that waste generation is firstly reduced and , secondly , that a large percentage is diverted from landfill by means of recycling and / or reuse .
And lastly , the building incorporates design for safety features aimed at limiting the spread of infections caused by Covid-19 and similar viruses . Touchless doorways are implemented
at the main entrance of the building as well as all entrances to the different tenancies .
The design credentials of the building , as well as the implemented occupant health and wellbeing features , reflect the client ’ s commitment to environmental stability in its campus buildings and providing best in class support services to its employees .
