Case Study: Flinders Link Stage 5 Office DevelopmentAddress: 70-80 Flinders St, Adelaide SA 5000Owner: Flinders Link Pty LtdDesign Team: Hassell Pty Ltd (architects / interior designers), BESTEC Pty Ltd (building engineering services), Wallbridge & Gilbert (structural and civil engineers), VIPAC Engineers and Scientists Pty Ltd (acoustic consultants), Currie and Brown (cost managers), Katnich Dodd (building surveyor), John Hindmarsh (South Australia) (construction managers)

Commercial Office NLA: 15,271 sq.m.

The ESD initiatives provided throughout the design have enabled the Flinders Link Stage 5 Development to be awarded a 5 Star Green Star – Office Design v2 Certified Rating, representing “Australian Excellence”, in May 2006. The Flinders Link Stage 5 Development scored maximum points in both the Management and Transport categories. Other initiatives for the project included increasing occupant comfort through reduction of office noise and limiting indoor air pollutants, the use of waterless urinals and a stormwater management system onsite to reduce water flowing to the sewer.

The Flinders Link Stage 5 Office Development comprises a nine-storey commercial office building: retail tenancies on ground floor and

• Diversion of 80% of construction waste from landfill

• Provision of a Building Users’ Guide to enable the building to achieve its intended environmental performance

• 12-month commissioning building tuning period after the handover, with minimum quarterly reviews and a final recommissioning after 12 months

Indoor Environment Quality

• Ventilation rates exceed Australian Standards by at least 100%

• Air change effectiveness greater than 0.95

• Carbon dioxide monitoring and control

• Natural lighting for 30% of NLA

Overall Green Star Performance

Case Study: Flinders Link Stage 5 Offi ce DevelopmentMaterials

• Fitout fully integrated with base building construction

• 30% reduction in PVC use

• 100% Sustainable timber used throughout project

Land Use and Ecology

• Reuse of previously developed land

Emissions

• Refrigerants and insulants with zero Ozone Depleting Potential (ODP)

• Refrigerant leak detection on chillers

• Reduced fl ow to sewer

Innovation

• Innovation was awarded to recognise the environmental benefi ts of extending an existing structure (i.e., the autonomous car park), and for the provision of the automated Building Users’ Guide for educational, monitoring and maintenance purposes.
