Executive Summary Sustainable Built Environments (SBE) has been commissioned to provide a Sustainable Management Plan (SMP) based on the Green Star Multi Residential Tool (V1) for the proposed multi-residential development at 95 Beach Road, Mentone.

Our assessment demonstrates the following:

• The dwellings have the potential to achieve average ratings of 7.2 stars (townhouses), 6.58 stars (new apartments) and 7.4 stars (refurnished apartments) – which is well in excess of the minimum requirements of the Building Code of Australia (BCA).

• A STORM Score of 100+ has been achieved.

• The building has the preliminary design potential to target 45 points (a 4 star rating) in the Green Star tool, which Council will acknowledge as representative of Best Practice.


1 Introduction This Environmentally Sustainable Design Statement has been prepared to provide an overview of the sustainable design initiatives and potential environmental performance of the proposed multi-residential development at 95 Beach Road, Mentone.

1.1 The Project

The proposed development consists of an existing hotel that is to be refurbished into 12 apartments and a retail space. A stand alone residential building housing 46 apartments will be constructed alongside the old hotel and above a new basement car park with 135 car spaces. The new car park will also serve a row of 12 new three storey townhouses.

1.2 Documents

This report has been informed by:

• Town Planning architectural drawings prepared by PTA Revision 3A, dated March 2016.

1.3 City Of Kingston ESD Requirements. Kingston City Council’s planning permit application process includes Environmentally Sustainable Design (ESD) Considerations. In December 2009 Council endorsed the implementation of Sustainable Design Assessment in the Planning Process (SDAPP) and the use of the Environmentally Sustainable Design (ESD) assessment tools; Sustainable Tools for Environmental Performance Strategy (STEPS) and the Sustainable Design Scorecard (SDS) as part of the planning permit application process.

As the scale of a project has an impact on the sustainability initiatives that can be incorporated; the level and type of information applicants are expected to provide is proportionate to the type and size of the development. A project is considered large if it has 10 or more dwellings. For large projects an SMP is required.

Sustainable Management Plan (SMP)

What is an SMP? An SMP is a detailed sustainability assessment of a proposed design at the planning stage. An SMP addresses the 10 key sustainable design criteria and demonstrates that a holistic ESD review has been undertaken during a project’s early design stage. It identifies beneficial, easy to implement and best practice initiatives.

The nature of large developments provides opportunity for increased environmental benefits and the opportunity for major resource savings. Hence, greater rigour in investigation is justified.

Whilst a STEPS or SDS assessment may be submitted to support an SMP, due to the increased opportunity presented and the higher standard expected from larger developments, STEPS or SDS compliance alone may not meet Council expectations. Council recognises that other ESD assessment tools are available and where appropriate, these tools can be used to benchmark environmental performance and demonstrate how the 10 sustainable design criteria have been addressed.

Proportional Expectations

All submissions under SDAPP are considered in the context of the development and specific permit application. Council will always have proportional expectations for documentation and environmental performance that are reasonable in each context.

Given the above, SBE will use the Green Building Council of Australia (GBCA) Green Star - Multi Unit Residential v1 rating tool to assess the proposal unofficially. Green Star is a comprehensive, national, voluntary environmental rating system that evaluates the environmental design and construction of buildings. The Green Star Multi Residential tool lists and categorises 60 individual environmental initiatives that may be pursued in a Multi Residential project and which, if addressed satisfactorily, will be recognised by the Green Building Council of Australia.


1.4 Report Methodology SBE has used the Green Building Council of Australia (GBCA) Green Star - Multi Unit Residential v1 rating tool to assess the proposal.

The retail component will be assessed using the Sustainable Design Scorecard (SDS).

2 Management There is no point in designing sustainable buildings and infrastructure if they are not managed efficiently and effectively. Since much of a building's impact is attributed to the operational phase of its life cycle, proper commissioning and tuning can ensure that all systems operate to their design potential. Occupant training, and ongoing information management, enables building users to contribute to the building's environmental performance.

2.1 Green Star Management (Man) Green Star rating tools aim to recognise and reward building attributes that reduce the impacts of buildings throughout their life-cycle. Business-as-usual approaches to building would not often consider ongoing management issues at the planning stage of a project.

Green Star Accredited Professional (Man-1)

This preliminary self-assessment of the project has been carried out by a Green Star Accredited Professional with experience in Green Star projects.

2 from 2 points targeted

Commissioning- Clauses (Man-2)

Building services will be commissioned in accordance with the best practice requirements outlined in this credit (ASHRAE and/or CIBSE Commissioning Codes as applicable)


Commissioning- Building Tuning (Man-3)

Building services will be fine tuned quarterly during first 12 months of occupation in accordance with the best practice requirements outlined by Green Star.

1 from 1 point targeted

Commissioning- Commissioning Agent (Man-4)

An independent commissioning agent appointed to provide commissioning advice to the building owner and the design team and monitor and verify the commissioning of all building services. This will not be targeted.


Building Users Guide (Man-5)

To ensure that building users have the relevant information to understand the efficiency and sustainable measures included in the development, the project team will develop a handover pack for occupants. The Building Users Guide (BUG) will include information on:

• Energy and environmental strategy (including social initiatives and body corporate arrangements such as domestic hot water, garden beds, bike parking, metering, etc)

• Monitoring and targeting

• Building services

• Transport facilities

• Materials and waste policy

• Expansion / refit considerations

• References and further information

At Tender Stage, the Building Users Guide is to be provided as a draft document detailing the design response to each of the categories mentioned for Man-5 above. A final document will be issued to all occupants/owners at handover.



Environmental Management (Man-6)

The Builder will be required to submit an Environmental Management Plan (EMP) for the construction of the building in accordance with Green Star requirements - covering water, waste, transport, ecology, energy, materials and safety.


Construction Waste Management (Man-7)

The builder will be required to achieve a recycle at least 60% construction and demolition waste. The builder will implement a WMP (Waste Management Plan), retain waste records and submit quarterly reports to the building owners. Clauses to this effect will be included in contract documents.


Metering (Man-16)

The following will be installed and monitored:

• Water metering and monitoring to all major water uses in the building

• Energy sub-metering and monitoring for substantive energy uses and lighting & general power for common areas

• Metering for cold and hot water flow to each apartment

• Each townhouse will have its own smart meter, gas and water metering.

4 points targeted from 6.

2.2 Green Star Management Results The Project has the potential to achieve 13 of the 18 points available in the Management category.


3 Indoor Environment Quality Indoor Environment Quality (IEQ) is a key ESD objective in the provision of a healthy and safe internal building environment for residents. Creating a comfortable environment for residents requires balancing a range of factors that are potentially opposing each other. For example, optimising natural ventilation may affect acoustic performance.

3.1 Green Star Indoor Environment Quality (IEQ) This area is a major focus for the Green Star Multi-Residential tool. The IEQ category rewards projects where buildings and living spaces are designed to provide comfortable and healthy environments for the residents.

Daylight (IEQ-4)

The introduction of daylight not only has the potential for energy savings but also improves the well-being of residents. The apartments have all been designed with consideration for daylighting to the living areas and bedrooms.

The Green Star credit for Daylight is based on evidence provided by computer modelling to prove either:

• A Daylight Factor ≥ 2% for kitchens and 1.5% for other living areas measured at floor level under a uniform design sky, or

• A Daylight Illuminance ≥ 200 Lux for kitchens and 150 Lux for other living areas measured at floor level under a uniform sky.

No Green Star points are claimed. However, we note that the apartments are well designed for access to daylight. The apartments are relatively shallow and there is no double stacking on a central corridor. Instead, both residential buildings have a central atrium which will have a skylight at the top.


Thermal Comfort (IEQ-5)

It is not anticipated that the apartments will achieve an average heating and cooling load of less than 30 MJ/m2.

Sweep fans will not be specified.


Internal Noise Levels (IEQ-7)

An acoustic consultant has not been engaged at this stage.


Volatile Organic Compounds (IEQ-8)

Interior finishes and products will be specified to minimise the levels of VOCs present in the building as follows:

• Paint - 95% of all internal painted surface will meet Green Star TVOC limits

• Adhesives and sealants - 95% of all adhesives and sealants will meet Green Star TVOC limits

• Flooring – 95% of all flooring will meet Green Star TVOC limits

• Wall & Ceiling coverings – 95% of all coverings will meet Green Star TVOC limits


Formaldehyde Minimisation (IEQ-9)

Engineered wood products such as particleboard, plywood, and MDF will be specified as low formaldehyde emission board (E0).


Electric Lighting Levels (IEQ-13)

Task lighting will be specified so that a minimum 300 Lux will be achieved at the surface of kitchen sink, cook top / stove and vanity basins in bathrooms and ensuites.



Dwelling Ventilation (IEQ-13)

All kitchens will have extraction. It is not anticipated that trickle vents will be provided in the apartments.


Natural Ventilation (IEQ-22)

No points targeted. However, we note that the townhouses will benefit from cross flow ventilation and that the apartments are relatively shallow which means single sided ventilation will be effective.


3.2 Green Star IEQ results The Project has the potential to achieve 7 of the 20 points available in the IEQ category.


4 Energy Australian energy is largely produced from the incineration of non-renewable fossil fuels and is our greatest contributor to greenhouse gas emissions. Per person, Australia's greenhouse gas emissions are amongst the highest in the world.

For multi-residential developments, the need to reduce and conserve energy can be addressed by reducing energy demands through improved thermal performance and generating renewable energy on site.

4.1 Regulatory Requirements

Residential Component - NatHERS Energy Rating

To comply with the requirements of the National Construction Code (NCC)1, the apartments are required to achieve a minimum 6 Stars average (5 Star minimum) NatHERS rating. The two apartment buildings will need to be rated and averaged as separate entities. The townhouses are each required to achieve a 6 star minimum.

4.2 Energy Efficient Active Systems

Air Conditioning

Each apartment will have an individual reverse cycle, wall-mounted split air conditioning unit with the associated condenser located on the apartment balcony.

Townhouses will have a similar air conditioning system, with a multi head spilt systems conditioning the living spaces.

Commitment to minimum 5 star energy rating for heating and cooling equipment

Ventilation

Apartments will have operable windows to allow for natural ventilation. All townhouses will benefit from cross flow ventilation. The apartments are relatively shallow which means single sided ventilation will be effective

Exhaust

Kitchen exhaust from the apartments and townhouses will discharge to a vent on the external facade via an extraction fan. Bathroom exhaust will discharge in a similar fashion.

Lighting

Reasonable daylighting is provided to all apartments and townhouses.

Energy efficient compact fluorescents and LED lighting will be used in apartments and townhouses. To comply with the 6 Star residential requirements of the NCC, the artificial lighting for the apartments will be designed not to exceed 5 W /m2 maximum power consumption

T5 fluorescents controlled with daylight and occupancy controls (timers, motion and photoelectric sensors) will be used in common and back of house areas including the basement.

Cooking

All dwellings will be provided with electric ovens and gas cook tops.

Hot Water

Domestic hot water will be provided to each apartment building via its own central gas-fired re-circulating system with insulated pipework and solar contribution of greater than 20% and a boiler with a COP of at least 0.85.

The townhouses will have their own individual gas boosted solar hot water systems.

On Site Generation

A 5 kW PV array will be installed to help offset base building loads (common lighting, lifts, carpark ventilation) on the new apartment building.

1 Formerly Building Code of Australia (BCA)


4.3 Green Star Energy (Ene) The credits within the Green Star Energy Category target an overall reduction of energy consumption which in turn reduces greenhouse gas emissions and peak demands.

Reductions in energy consumption can be achieved through more efficient use of energy in buildings. Reductions in emissions and capacity can be achieved through generation of energy from alternative sources.

Ene- Conditional Requirement

It is a Green Star conditional requirement for the average thermal performance of the apartments to achieve a 10% improvement over the regulatory requirements. The BCA 6 Star standard requires that apartments achieve an average NatHERS rating of 6 Stars with a minimum 5 Star rating.

For Victoria, a 6 Star residence is considered to have a total energy use of 114 MJ/m2. A 10% improvement on this is for a total energy use of 103 MJ/m2.

The preliminary energy ratings of a sample of dwellings revealed the following:

• Townhouses – achieved an average of 7.2 stars

• New Building – achieved an average of 6.58 stars

• Old Building (if required to be upgraded) – can achieve an average of 7.47 stars.

See (Appendix B) for details.

The following building fabric and glazing assumptions used in the sample ratings will be adopted in the final design of the new dwellings:

• Ceiling/Roof – R4 insulation

• Exposed Ceiling (balcony above) – R2 insulation

• Floors (suspended/exposed) – R2 insulation

• External Walls – R2 insulation

• Windows – Conventional double glazed units. System (frame + glass) specifications: U=4.1W/m2K, SHGC=0.47)

Conditional Requirement – Confirmed.

Greenhouse Gas Emissions (Ene-1

The Multi-Residential tool emphasises the importance of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by assigning up to 20 points for improving on the standard practice energy benchmark with a 100% reduction equating to zero net operating conditions.

A calculator is used to assess the points available to the project based on the predicted GHG reductions for all the spaces and all energy reduction features in the building.

At planning stage we have conservatively assumed the dwellings have the potential to achieve at least a 30% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) based on the following:

• The 7.2, 6.58 and 7.47 star NatHERS results,

• Efficient LED lighting throughout

• Air conditioning specified,

• Choice of efficient domestic hot water system,

• Kill switches to apartments,

• Occupancy sensors and variable speed fans with CO sensors in the car park and a 5 kW PV array on the roof.

On this basis, 8 points has been assigned to this credit.

8 from 20 points targeted.


Unoccupied Spaces (Ene-7)

To encourage and recognise designs that minimise or eliminate energy used in spaces when they are unoccupied, Green Star credits projects for including occupancy controls to minimise air-conditioning and lighting energy. At a minimum, this requires a dwelling shut down switch at the main door. The project has committed to including this.

A further strategy encouraged by this credit is to include automated controls to minimise air-conditioning and lighting energy to unoccupied areas in the building. The project has committed to including automated controls, such as sensors and timers, for lighting and air-conditioning to common areas.

2 from 2 points are targeted

Energy Efficient Appliances (Ene-11)

These points not targeted.

1 from 2 points achieved

Peak Demand Reduction (Ene-12)

The project has committed to installing air-conditioning that is 5 star energy rating for heating and cooling and will provide gas (non-electric) cooking.

2 from 2 points is targeted

4.4 Green Star Energy Results The Project has the potential to achieve 13 of the 26 points available in the Energy category.

5 Transport Car use accounts for 54% percent of Australia's total domestic transport emissions and approximately 80% of adults use a private car to commute to and from work. Global warming is directly affected by motor vehicle use due to the high amounts of energy required to build cars and supporting infrastructure and services, as well as the greenhouse gas emissions within exhaust fumes. Car exhaust fumes also contribute to asthma and other respiratory illnesses.

Based on this, alternative transport options should be optimised; these include walking, cycling and public transport.

5.1 Walkability Locating residential projects within a walkable distance of a range of amenities is a good strategy for improved environmental outcomes.

A Walk Score is a measure of a neighbourhood’s walkability based on the amenities of certain categories within a certain distance. A Walk Score is a number between 0 and 100. Refer to http://www.walkscore.com/.

95 Beach Rd has a Walk Score of 45 out of 100. This location is a Car-Dependent neighbourhood so most errands require a car. Nearby parks include Dolomore Reserve and Gerry Green Reserve.


https://www.walkscore.com/score/95-beach-rd-mentone-vic-australia

5.2 Public Transport The site is about 1km from the Parkdale Train station.

5.3 Car parking There are 135 car spaces.

5.4 Green Star Transport (Tra) All credits within the Green Star Transport category have the same underlying principle; to reward the reduction in automotive movement by discouraging its use while encouraging use of alternative transportation. Reducing the dependency on private car use is an important means of reducing overall greenhouse gas emissions.

Provision of Car parking (Tra-1)

Green Star rewards projects with the number of car parking spaces being either less than the local planning allowances for the site, or by the number of car spaces not exceeding planning allowances by a certain percentage.

0 point from 2 points targeted

Fuel efficient transport (Tra-2)

This Green Star credit recognises developments that facilitate the use of fuel efficient vehicles, rewarding projects where:

• A minimum of 10% of the parking spaces (total 18 for this project) are designed for small vehicles (2.3m wide and 5.0m long)

• A minimum 5% of parking spaces (total 9 for this project) are designed and labelled for mopeds and / or motorbikes

An additional point is available for the integration of a formal car sharing scheme that would have 5% of the spaces dedicated for use by registered car share vehicles only. These initiatives have not been targeted.


Cyclist Facilities (Tra-3)

To achieve Green Star credit for bike parking requires:

• Secure storage for one bike per dwelling (1 point), or one dedicated bike cage / locker per dwelling (2 point).

• Plus 1 visitor bike rack for every 4 dwellings (additional point)


48 bicycle parking spaces are provided in the basement. This storage facility will be secure and well lit. . The statutory requirement under Clause 52.34 is 13 for the dwellings and 6 for visitors and none for the 259 square metres of retail. Therefore the development will provide resident bicycle spaces well in excess of the statutory requirements (29 more). However, no points can be claimed under Green Star.


Commuting Public Transport (Tra-4)

The development has limited access to public transport.


Trip Reduction - Mixed Use (Tra-5)

Based on the walk score discussed above, only one point could be claimed for this credit.


5.5 Green Star Transport Results The project currently achieves 4 points from a possible 14 for transport.


6 Water In Australia, water has long been considered a precious and high-demand resource. Fresh water supplies are increasingly affected by a range of factors including catchment locations, contaminated sources, drought and rising demand. Australia remains the driest inhabited continent in the world with the third largest per capita water consumption rates, and demand for water is close to outstripping supply in many major cities.

6.1 Water Demand Management Demand management initiatives are to be adopted with the specification of low flow fixtures and fittings as follows:

• Toilet – 4 star (3.5 Litres/flush)

• Taps & Fittings – 5-6 star (4.5 Litres/minute)

• Showerhead – 3 star (6-9 Litres/minute)

6.2 Green Star Water (Wat) Green Star encourages measures to reduce potable water consumption in multi-residential buildings to assist in easing the pressure on Australian water sources and contribute to the cost-effective operation of buildings.

Rainwater collection and reuse.

A 2,000L RW tank will be installed in each townhouse for toilet flushing.

A 20,000L RW tank will be installed in the new apartment building for toilet flushing

The refurbished apartment building will not have rainwater collection for toilet flushing.

Rainwater will be available for irrigation.

Occupant Amenity Water (Wat-1)

The selection of water efficient fixtures and fittings has the potential to achieve 2 points and the provision of rainwater for flushing throughout the majority of the development grants a third point.

3 points out of a potential 5 points achievable

Landscape Irrigation (Wat-3)

Rainwater will be available for irrigation throughout the development.

1 point from 1 targeted

Heat Rejection Water (Wat-4)

The project will not include water based heat rejection systems (eg: cooling towers)


Fire Test Water (Wat-5)

Sprinklers will be installed. Green star rewards the capture and reuse of sprinkler test water. However, there is no apparent opportunity for reuse of the dirty test water in this instance.


Water Efficient Appliances (Wat-7)

Not targeted


6.3 Green Star Water Results The Project has the potential to achieve 5 of the 9 points available in the Water category.


7 Materials The production and use of building materials has serious impacts on the environment. Energy is used to extract, produce and transport building materials; natural resources are exploited to be used in building material; the industrial production of the materials causes pollution, and if poorly selected and used materials end up in landfill as waste – or incinerated.

The environmental impact of building materials can be reduced by limiting the quantities of virgin building materials used in projects and choosing the least harmful when using virgin building materials.

7.1 Green Star Materials (Mat) The intention of this the category is to reduce the amount of natural resources used. Green Star Materials credits encourage the principles of “reduce, reuse, recycle” and efficient management practices to reduce waste. In particular, this category attempts to focus on the lifespan, lifecycle and approach towards use of materials, resources and building fabrics.

Recycling Waste Storage (Mat-1)

A waste chute will be provided that will enable users to deposit general waste and recyclable waste separately at each floor. A compostable waste bin will also be provided in the main waste storage area.


Building Re-Use (Mat-2)

Full points are awarded for the retention and adaptive reuse of the hotel façade and structure.


Recycled Content & Re-used Products and Materials (Mat-3)

Not targeted


Concrete (Mat-4)

Embodied energy and resource depletion attributable to the project could be reduced through considerate specification of concrete with the aim of reducing the quantity of Portland cement in all concretes by replacing it with supplementary cementitious materials. This would be achieved as follows:

• Portland cement content is reduced by 30% measured by mass across all concrete used in the project compared to the reference case (1 point)

• Portland cement content is reduced by 60% measured by mass across all concrete used in the project compared to the reference case (2 points)

One point will be targeted

One further point is available where the mix water for all concrete used in the project contains at least 50% captured or reclaimed water (measured across all concrete mixes in the project), and one of the following criteria is met:

• At least 40% of coarse aggregate in the concrete is crushed slag aggregate or another alternative materials (measured by mass across all concrete mixes in the project), provided that use of such materials does not increase the use of Portland cement by over five kilograms per cubic meter of concrete.

• At least 25% of fine aggregate (sand) inputs in the concrete are manufactured sand or other alternative materials (measured by mass across all concrete mixes in the project), provided that use of such materials does not increase the use of Portland cement by over five kilograms per cubic meter of concrete.

One of these points will be targeted.

Total of 2 from 3 points targeted

Steel (Mat-5)

Up to two points are awarded where at least 95% of all steel used in the building’s structure complies with the criteria set out below, and is sourced from a responsible steel maker. Points are awarded as follows:


• Where structural steel comprises 60% or more of the total steel used in the structure, one point is awarded for each of the two initiatives met below:

− At least 95% of all Category A products and at least 25% of Category B products meet or exceed the nominated steel strength grades and are permanently marked with their strength grade;

− At least 60% of the fabricated structural steelwork is supplied by a steel fabricator / steel contractor accredited to the Environmental Sustainability Charter of the Australian Steel Institute.

• Where reinforcing steel comprises 60% or more of the total steel used in the structure of the building, one point is awarded for each of the two initiatives met below:

− At least 95% of all reinforcing bar and mesh meets or exceeds 500MPa strength grade, and at least 60% of all reinforcing steel is produced using energy-reducing processes in its manufacture (measured by average mass by steel maker annually);

− At least 95% of all reinforcing steel meets or exceeds 500MPa strength grade, and at least 15% (by mass) of all reinforcing steel is assembled using off site optimal fabrication techniques.


PVC Minimisation (Mat-6)

PVC has the potential for human health and environmental health impacts and Green Star tools seek to discourage its use by rewarding the use of alternative products. PVC products in multi-residential buildings include: pipes, conduits, cabling, carpet tiles, window frames, resilient tiles and floor coverings.

Points are awarded based on the total cost of PVC products compared to the products that replace them.

One point is awarded for at least 60% of the common uses of PVC products in the building cost (by cost) are either PVC products which meet the Best Practice for PVC in the built environment or are products that do not contain PVC. 2 points for 90%.


Flooring, Joinery, Internal Walls (Mat-11, Mat-12, Mat-14)

Green Star encourages flooring, joinery and internal wall materials to meet with criteria that imply reduced environmental impact. These elements will be selected and specified (at a later date) to comply with the Green Star requirements.

4 points targeted.

7.2 Green Star Materials Results It is important to note that internal materials have not been specified at the planning stage of this project, with the exception of t he external materials. However, 16 points of 25 points have been targeted.


8 Land Use & Ecology Australia is home to more than one million different species, many of which are found nowhere else in the world. Australia is also a continent defined as 'megadiverse", which means that it has a very large variation of life forms in the environment. Over the past few hundred years, development has caused displacement and degradation of much of Australia's natural flora and fauna and reduced biodiversity in many locations. Achieving an increase in levels of biodiversity across an ecosystem may require protection and restoration of local indigenous flora and fauna.

8.1 Green Star Land Use & Ecology (Eco) The credits within the Land Use and Ecology category promote initiatives to improve or reduce impacts on ecological systems and biodiversity. Green Star has a Conditional requirement for this category to encourage and recognise development on land with limited ecological value and to discourage development on ecologically precious sites.

As the site has been previously developed it meets the conditional requirement.

Topsoil (Eco-1)

It is assumed unlikely that there will be sufficient space on site to remove, store and reuse topsoil.

1 point available 0 points claimed.

Reuse of Land (Eco-2)

At the time of purchase, at least 75% of the site has previously been built on. The credit criteria are satisfied.

1 from 1 point achieved

Reclaimed Contaminated Land (Eco-3)

A land contamination report has not yet been done for the site.

2 points available, none claimed

Change of Ecological Value (Eco-4)

It is not anticipated that there will be an opportunity to enhance the ecological value of site due to limited external space to incorporate landscaping features. However, the outcome will be no worse than already exists so 1 point can be claimed.

Indigenous, native and drought tolerant species will be encouraged wherever there is an opportunity for planters.

4 points available, 1 point claimed

Outdoor Communal Facilities (Eco-5)

Green star rewards the inclusion of outdoor communal facilities (for example roof garden, outdoor dining and seating, etc). There are no free communal paces provided.


8.2 Green Star Ecology Results At this stage, the project has the potential to achieve 2 of the 8 points available in the Ecology category.


9 Emissions The credits in the Emissions category address the environmental impacts of a building's emissions. The Green Star rating tools target emissions relating to watercourse pollution, light pollution, ozone depletion, global warming, Legionella and sewage.

Traditionally in Australia, stormwater has been transported separately from the sewerage system. Unlike sewage, stormwater has received little, if any, treatment. The aim has been to channel the stormwater as rapidly as possible from within urban areas to the nearest waterway, which has caused increased pollution to watercourses. The necessity to deal with both the quantity and quality of runoff is now recognised.

Light travelling up into the night sky or spilling on to neighbouring properties is also seen as a form of pollution; it can disrupt the habits of migratory species, causing major impacts upon overall biodiversity. Light pollution may also disrupt biological rhythms and otherwise interfere with the behaviour of nocturnal animals and insects.

Emissions of substances such as Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) as well as Hydrochloroflourocarbons (HCFCs), used as refrigerants and in insulation materials, deplete the ozone layer and contribute to global warming'. Long-term damage to the Earth's stratospheric ozone layer would expose living organisms to harmful radiation from the sun.

The Green Star rating tools encourage design initiatives that eliminate the growth of the bacteria 'Legionella' (the causative agent for Legionnaires' disease) which can take place in any water-based system if the water is warm and supplied with nutrients. There is evidence that the inhalation of such drift containing Legionella is a means of infection.

The Emissions category rewards design and management approaches which effectively reduce building emissions and their impacts.

9.1 Green Star Emissions Credits

Refrigerant ODP (Emi-1)

All refrigerants will be specified to have an ozone depleting potential (ODP) of zero.


Insulant ODP (Emi-4)

All insulation products will be specified to have an ozone depleting potential (ODP) of zero.


Stormwater (Emi-5)

WSUD compliance achieved with Melbourne Water STORM calculator (see Appendix C).

Rainwater will be collected in a 20,000L rainwater tank for reuse in toilet flushing.


Light Pollution (Emi-7)

External lighting for the building will be designed to minimise night sky pollution by directing all light down or onto building surfaces first.


Legionella (Emi-8)

There are to be no water based cooling systems in the development.


9.2 Green Star Emissions Results At this stage the project has the potential of achieving 5 points from a possible 15 points for the Emissions Category.


10 Café/Restaurant The café will be a new fitout within the existing shell of the hotel. This function is not covered by the Green Star Multi Residential tool and given its size relative to the rest of the project, would normally be allowed to be ignored. However, we have opted to assess this component using the SDS tool to provide a guide for its future development.

Summary of ESD Initiatives included in the Café/Restaurant (or which can be targeted in the future fitout and controlled by use of use of a Tenancy fitout guide and Green Lease):

• Reverse cycle heating and cooling system with minimum 4 Star rating. • A gas boosted solar hot water system (<80%). • Double glazing with aluminium frames. • T5 fluorescent lighting with electronic ballasts and/or LED, motion sensors and ambient light

sensors. • Water efficient fixtures and fittings as per the minimum recommended ratings below. The retail space

will also have access to rainwater for toilet flushing.

Fixtures and Fittings Rating

Kitchen Basin taps 5 star WELS rating minimum (<6 L/min)

Toilet 4 star (3.5 Litres/flush)

Taps & Fittings 5-6 star (4.5 Litres/minute)

• Commitment to an operational waste handling facilities, including recyclables, and commitment to

development of a construction waste minimisation plan. • Design which will remain adaptable design for future reuse and renovation and minimises waste

from fitouts. • Specification of pre-manufactured elements to reduced material offcuts and on-site waste production • Materials: Recycled or plantation timber, no use of unsustainable imported timbers, non toxic and

durable materials. • Indoor Air Quality: E0 or equivalent engineered wood products, low VOC emitting sealants,

adhesives and paints. • Full compliance with AS1428.8 to promote accessibility of the building to people with a disability or

mobility issues. • Commitment to produce a building user guide. • Thermal mass for heat storage or heat sink to moderate temperature fluctuations and reduce energy

consumption.

The tenancy is a shell and core allowing the future tenants flexibility for adaptation. However, a Tenancy fitout guide and Green Lease will be developed to ensure the design; construction and operation of the tenancies adopt the same project ESD commitments.

Refer to Appendix D for the SDS Report.


11 Conclusion The building has the preliminary design potential to target 45 points (a 4 star rating), which Council will acknowledge as representative of Best Practice.

Appendix B: Sample Ratings It is a Green Star conditional requirement for the average thermal performance of the apartments to achieve a 10% improvement over the regulatory requirements. The BCA 6 Star standard requires that apartments achieve an average NatHERS rating of 6 Stars with a minimum 5 Star rating.

The preliminary energy ratings of a sample of dwellings revealed the following:

• Townhouses – achieved an average of 7.2 stars

• New Building – achieved an average of 6.58 stars

• Old Building (if required to be upgraded) – can achieve an average of 7.47 stars.

The following building fabric and glazing assumptions used in the sample ratings will be adopted in the final design of the new dwellings:

• Ceiling/Roof – R4 insulation

• Exposed Ceiling (balcony above) – R2 insulation

• Floors (suspended/exposed) – R2 insulation

• External Walls – R2 insulation

• Windows – Conventional double glazed units. System (frame + glass) specifications: U=4.1W/m2K, SHGC=0.47)

Preliminary Results


Appendix C: STORM Assessment A 2,000L Rainwater tank is proposed to be connected to each townhouse (14 of).

A 20,000L Rainwater tank is proposed to be connected to the new multi residential building.

Runoff from remaining areas is to be diverted through a raingarden area of 15m2.

These initiatives allow the project to score more than 100% in the Melbourne Storm calculatior. Achievement of a 100% STORM rating means you have achieved a 45% reduction in the typical annual load of total nitrogen and achieved best practice objectives. Particulay important, given the site’s proximity to the Bay.
