TARGET - 5 STAR GREEN STAR DESIGN
TARGET - 5 STAR NABERS ENERGY RATING
INDOOR ENVIRONMENT QUALITY
- Considered air change effectiveness delivers optimum air quality throughout occupied areas
- Carbon dioxide monitoring and control ensures optimum outside air delivery
- Architecturally designed to provide good levels of daylight for occupants
- Daylight glare control to reduce the discomfort of glare from natural light
- High frequency ballasts - avoids low frequency flicker associated with fluorescent lighting
- Efficient electric lighting levels
- External views that provide visual connections to the natural environment
- A high level of thermal comfort
- Internal noise levels will be maintained at an appropriate level
- Levels of volatile organic compounds minimised
ENERGY
- Reduced greenhouse gas emissions
- Energy efficient double glazing
- Solar heating
- Energy efficient and state of the art air conditioning systems
- CO detection and control of carpark ventilation fans
- Motion detector control lighting
- Energy sub-metering to facilitate ongoing management of energy consumption
- Lighting designed to achieve minimal energy consumption
- Greater flexibility for light switching, making it easier to light only occupied areas
- Designed to reduce peak demand on energy supply infrastructure by 15%
EMISSIONS
- Selection of refrigerants that do not contribute to long-term damage to ozone layer
- Use of insulants that do not contribute to long-term damage to the to ozone layer
- Minimise stormwater run-off to, and the pollution of, the natural water courses
- Minimise discharge to the municipal sewerage system
WATER
- Reduced potable water consumption when compared to ‘best practice’ benchmark
- Systems to monitor and manage water consumption
- Reduced consumption of potable water through rainwater harvesting for landscape irrigation and toilet flushing
TRANSPORT
- Cyclist facilities including secure bicycle storage, accessible showers, changing facilities, lockers, and visitor bicycle parking
- Walk to Robina’s transport interchange, with train connectivity to Brisbane and bus services to the entire Gold Coast City
