NDY’s second project at Docklands Digital Harbour, Port 1010, is one of Australia’s most recognised and award winning buildings.
Port 1010 has received:
- Dockland’s first 5 Star Green Star rating of ‘Australian Excellence’ by the Green Building Council of Australia
- Award of Merit under the Docklands ESD scheme
- AIRAH Achievement Award in Sustainability for 2006
- Silver Award of Highly Commended in the Environmental category at the 2007 ACEA Awards (the highest award in this category).
Constructed by Baulderstone Hornibrook for Digital Harbour Holdings, Port 1010 is part of a technology precinct that seeks to provide state-of-the-art accommodation for information technology companies.
It was purposely designed to encourage collaboration and interaction between organisations; Australian Customs Service, Bureau of Meteorology and VicTrack are major tenants.
As the ESD consultant for this 16,000 m2 commercial building, NDY’s challenge was to ensure that the development’s goal of maximised energy efficiency and minimised environmental impact was achieved. This included the Green Star rating and Docklands ESD submissions.
A key aspect of NDY’s solution was the use of a blackwater treatment plant to recycle waste water. The building also features low VOC materials, a highly efficient facade and VAV system and an energy efficient lighting solution.
NDY fire engineers developed a holistic fire safety solution, including the effective use of passive and active fire protection measures. Key solutions included rationalisation of fire ratings throughout, design of the occupant egress system and the development of a solution to permit an innovative cladding system.
