Thriving Neighbourhoods Transformational Sustainability David Jarratt @davidjarratt
Green Building Evolution Green building design has gained rapid acceptance globally. It has evolved from being part of small boutique facilities to being a key component of global corporate HQ’s and highly cost effective commercial office developments. Truly green development mixes high performance buildings (works above ground) with innovative infrastructure (works below ground). Green Precincts and Cities are the next step.
The Realm of Uncertainty Almost no certainty of outcome Changes in technology Changes in regulation Changes in cost Changes in market perception Reduced certainty of outcome Changes in “the natural means of the site” Changes in scientific consensus Certainty of outcome
No Batteries Healthy Simple Adjustable Safe Fun Bright Colours Well made Affordable Stable & Dependable
Understanding the Spatial Layers of a City • built environment – buildings, public spaces, amenities and services • urban infrastructure – transport, water, waste, energy and food • natural attributes – land, water and air
Carlton United Brewery – Fraser’s Broadway Central Park
Carlton United Brewery (Fraser’s Broadway) Location: Sydney Stage: Design / Construction Stage Commissioned by: Frasers Property Use: Commercial, Residential, Retail Details: Commercial ~120,000 m2, 1689 Apartments ~235,000 GFA of built 6 hectares ESD Considerations: • 5 Star Precinct PILOT rating • Water neutral • Sewer mining • Possible carbon neutral • Precinct heating/cooling • Cogeneration • No upgrade to infrastructure
Amended Concept Plan Targets Key Sustainability Initiatives: Elton Consulting “To aim for a zero net carbon and zero net potable water development” “Frasers Broadway has expressed the intention to move beyond base line compliance and towards the stretch goal of zero net greenhouse emissions (CO2 –eq) development for operational energy use of the base building.”
What is Carbon Neutrality? Your carbon status is the net balance of carbon dioxide produced and carbon dioxide absorbed / avoided / offset. Carbon neutral therefore means that any CO2 produced by on-site operation is accounted for either internal or external to the site. There are 5 levels of carbon neutrality that could be targeted:

Comparison of Technology Heat competes with the trigen plant, expensive, looks good Expensive, minimal output for multi storey buildings, looks good, helped building approval Minimal output in the city and on small scale Incomparable carbon savings, high risk, high capital cost, long term payback Cost premium required but useful Good carbon reduction, minimal risk, cost effective Carbon effective, risky, expensive
