    Intelligent Building Case Study

    The new Hindmarsh Shire Council civic building incorporates environmentally sustainable design principles and aims to minimize energy consumption and carbon output over its lifetime. More than 80% of materials from the existing building were recycled and timber was used instead of steel for structural purposes. An underground air conditioning system cools and warms air naturally before redistributing it throughout the building. Passive solar design, cross-flow ventilation, LED lighting, and vertical gardens help reduce energy usage by 60% compared to the previous building. Materials selected have low VOCs, are durable, and contain recycled content.

    Environmentally sustainable design
    (ESD) principles are at the core of the building’s
    design intent

    minimize embodied energy and


    energy loadings within the building

    reduce carbon output for the life of the


    project.
    Over 80% of the existing building's materials
    were recycled before the existing
    infrastructure was demolished
    a laminated timber product to replace steel
    for structural purposes
    Construction
    An under-floor air distribution (UFAD)
    air conditioning system

    By constructing a series of thermalchambers


    underground via earth tubes and under-floor
    ventilation plenums, fresh air is drawn in from the
    exterior and cooled (or warmed) naturally by the earth
    before being redistributed back throughout the building
    via air displacement plenums.

    Thermal performance
    An electronic control and monitoring
    consumes less energy via
    passive solar design system has also been installed to test the
    effectiveness of the measures taken to
    minimize energy consumption,
    • cross-flow ventilation
    principles

    • LED lighting systems

    • zoned motion-detecting
    lighting

    • a number of vertical
    green walls aim to
    enhance the indoor air
    quality
    use 60 per cent less electricity than
    the building they replaced

    Energy Consumption
    Fit out and finishes include

    • locally manufactured
    highest performing low
    VOC paint,

    • durable finishes for lower


    maintenance and
    longevity

    • Green Star certified


    modular carpets with 35%
    recycled content

    • low formaldehyde
    substrates

    • low energy zoned lighting


    with motion sensors.
