Construction Waste

Construction Waste

Over 89 per cent of construction waste was diverted from landfills by separating the waste (concrete, wood, glass, cardboard, metal) and hauling it to external recycling facilities to be repurposed.

Lighting Controllability

Lighting Controllability

Lighting control lets occupants adjust lighting while also conserving energy. Light fixtures are controlled using dimmers and occupancy sensors, and automatically turn off when the room is vacant.

Tree Canopy

Trees throughout the site will provide over 126 m² of shading within five years of being planted and will reduce the site’s heat island effect where dark surfaces absorb sunlight, increasing temperature.
