46 PROJECT << Continued from page 45 The taps are fitted with flow inhibitors which keep the water flowing at a slow but usable 5ℓ per minute. The no-touch flush mechanism on the urinals also uses just 1ℓ per flush. the spaces tell the diffusers how much air is needed to cool the space down or heat it up in winter. There are about five people per control point, so you need to communicate to decide what temperature you want. Ventilation fans extract air in toilets, kitchens, and other spaces to provide replacement air for good indoor air quality. Basements are mechanically ventilated only when required and through carbon monoxide sensors.

Put simply, NABERS measures the energy efficiency, water usage, waste management, and indoor environment quality of a building or tenancy and its impact on the environment. It does this by using measured and verified performance information, such as utility bills, and converting them into an easy to understand star rating scale from one to six stars. For example, a 6-star rating demonstrates market-leading performance, while a 1-star rating means the building or tenancy has considerable scope for improvement.
