New construction of the airport office in Melbourne

skip: New construction of the airport office in Melbourne
Numerous environmental considerations were included in the new construction of the airport office in Melbourne.

The facility has a strong environmental focus. The mega hub will store 450,000 litres of rainwater, whereof 350,000 litres are permanently stored for fire protection and 100,000 litres will be re-used for irrigation systems. Additionally, toilets in the main office and warehouse block will be using rain water, which will reduce the water consumption for that purpose by up to 70 percent for the whole facility.

With the installation of solar panels, and conversion of 80 percent of all forklifts to electric forklifts, energy consumption will be significantly reduced. The in-house recycling programs shall minimize landfill/general waste by 60 percent. The setup installation of office fit-out and services will achieve Green Star rating. This is a comprehensive, national, voluntary environmental rating scheme that evaluates the environmental design and achievements of buildings.
