Summary

APROPOSED OFFICE DEVELOPMENT IN SYDNEY IS DESIGNED TO BE ENERGY EFFICIENT. THE ORIENTATION OF THE 44 LEVEL TOWER IS CHOSEN TO MINIMISE SOLAR GAIN WHILE THE DOUBLE-GLAZING WITH SOLAR-CONTROL GLASS MAXIMISES NATURAL LIGHT AND VIEWS. SHADING SYSTEMS WILL PRODUCE AN EFFECTIVE COEFFICIENT OF 0.2, ENABLING A VARIABLE AIR VOLUME SYSTEM OF AIR-CONDITIONING TO BE USED. THE PLANT MAKES MAXIMUM USE OF ENERGY EXCHANGE WITHIN THE SYSTEM, USING REFRIGERATION REJECTED HEAT, MAXIMISING THE USE OF OUTSIDE AIR, AND RECLAIMING EXHAUST AIR HEAT IN WINTER. SOLAR PANELS PROVIDE DOMESTIC HOT WATER. THE LIGHTING IS DESIGNED TO BE AS LOW AS 11 W/M2 IN SOME AREAS. A FULL DESCRIPTION OF THE METHODS USED IS INCLUDED.
