VS1, Adelaide (New Building) • Excellent = Platinum = 6 star • Why LEED was harder on this project – Difficult to get material credits – Specific points for renewable/green power (BREEAM looks at CO2 overall)
55 St Andrews Place (Refurbishment)
55 St Andrews Place (Refurbishment) • Refurbished building in Melbourne CBD • 6,000m2 – net lettable area • BSJ Sustainable Refurbishment of the Year 2007 • Awaiting 4 star Green Star certification • Focussed on good design not points scoring! – – – –

55 St Andrews Place (Refurbishment) • Very Good = Gold = 5 star • 4 Star Green Star tbc • BREEAM rewards improving existing building stock more than Green Star & LEED • BREEAM gives more points for energy improvement
Cundall Sydney Office (fitout)
Cundall Sydney Office (fitout) • 400m2 fitout in conventional office building • First LEED Platinum rating in southern hemisphere
Fitout ratings • BREEAM – Modified version of building rating
• LEED

Cundall Sydney Office (fitout) • TOTALLY DIFFERENT APPROACHES! • Green Star has 141 credits, LEED has 44 • Green Star & BREEAM focussed on major tenancies with formal contracts • BREEAM does not address fitout design issues (>80% of points relate to landlord’s building) • Radically different approach to fitout furniture – Green Star looks at each type of furniture – LEED lumps all together – BREEAM doesn’t really assess (< 3% of rating)

Summary • Rating Tools cant be compared directly, particularly with fitout • As rating tools have evolved the focus has moved from design to actual • The near future focus will shift from actual to performance • The next evolution will be full carbon and water accounting • With greater accountability!
