1.0 Introduction

The proposed development at 9-13 Stewart street, Richmond is a 10-storey mixed retail, food & beverage and commercial office building located within the City of Yarra. It aims to bring innovation and creative quality to the area in the use of mass timber framing as the primary structure for the upper podium levels 4-9, with a foundation of concrete framing to the basement levels, ground retail level and podium levels of 1-3. The façade has been optimised to consider solar insolation across all orientations, including the effects of overshadowing from the neighbouring buildings. This presents an opportunity for an integrated sustainable design for the façade due to the varying sunlight exposure across different levels of the commercial office floors.

The proposed sustainability principles, priorities, and benchmarks for the project have been developed based on the City of Yarra Town Planning requirements as influenced by the Built Environment Sustainability Scorecard (BESS) assessment and current best industry practice.

Sustainability initiatives have been proposed that will reduce ongoing emissions, whilst providing a working environment with a focus on high indoor environmental quality that will attract and retain tenants.

The functional Net Lettable Area (NLA) of the proposed development can be broken down in Table 1 below.

3.0 Energy Efficiency

To ensure the efficient use of energy.

To reduce total operating greenhouse emissions.

To reduce energy peak demand.

To reduce associated energy costs.

The proposed development at 9-13 Stewart Street, Richmond has a strong emphasis on reducing operational energy consumption, peak energy demand on the local electrical grid, and encouraging current best practice standards. The sustainability principle and policy for energy efficiency is taken from a target to meet best practice requirements set by BESS tool of the City of Yarra and a 5.5 Star NABERS Energy rating. The following provides a high-level description of the proposed mechanical system and passive architectural features included within the design to achieve the set targets.

3.1 Operating Energy

Energy efficiency measures for the development have been included via both active and passive strategies outlined below.

3.1.1 Passive Design

The passive design focus for the proposed development is centred around the façade orientations solar insolation levels due to the surrounding context. The upper podium levels receive a high amount of solar insolation incident on the façade on the north, east and west facades. The top six levels and top seven levels receive no overshadowing on the northern façade and eastern façade respectively, however the lower levels are affected by overshadowing from the three-storey apartment buildings on Margaret Street and Stewart Street. The western façade is largely exposed to the sun throughout the year from level 5 upwards, however due to the design of the development, the core elements (lifts, services, bathrooms and stairs) cover more than half of the façade. Due to varying exposure to the sun, the design of the building integrates 300mm horizontal and 300mm vertical shading on north, east and west facades.

3.1.2 Active Design

High efficiency air-cooled roof mounted chillers will be provided to the development. The selected chillers will have a full load Energy Efficiency Ratio (EER) of no less than 3.88; and part load operating efficiencies around 6-7. This is a significant improvement on National Construction Code (NCC) 2019 requirements.

Condensing boilers are proposed for heating hot water (HHW) with a full load efficiency of 95%.

The HVAC service strategy is proposed to include Air Handling Units (AHUs) which will serve the office floors with supply air via a low temperature Variable Air Volume (VAV) system.

Lighting will be LED throughout.

Carbon Monoxide monitoring is included within the car park ventilation system to control the operation and speed of ventilation fans.

3.2 Renewable Energy

The development is designed to incorporate 96 photovoltaic (PV) panels at roof levels to offset some operational energy. The PV panels are sized at 28.8kWp and are estimated to generate 32,346kWh per annum. These will be located on the roof and integrated around any required plant and services penetrations.
