Project Overview

Project Introduction St. Vincent Street in Port Adelaide (the old Quins Building) Purchased by Melbourne property developer Acdev in 2008 Redevelop existing retail space into high quality office space Rejuvenation of a heritage site into a contemporary premises Merging historic and contemporary design principles

‘What was required’ The Brief Part 1: ‘Aim to increase building efficiency and health, and decrease greenhouse emissions, and yet not lose sight of the commercial reality of property development’ The Brief Part 2: ‘Create a sustainable hook’ Also: • Contribute to revitalisation of Port Adelaide region • Cost constrained development • Marketing & educational tool

‘The Concept’ New model of sustainable office space Completely self-sustaining redevelopment Use of renewable energy sources Target Zero Operational Carbon Emissions

Advantages of the Site Availability of car parking Rear access to warehouse Significant existing flat roof space Multiple fitout and tenancy opportunities e.g. office, commercial, retail Heritage street frontage

ESD Opportunities Installation of Solar PV cells Highly efficient ‘nGen’ air engine prototype micro cogeneration system Passive design and relaxed internal conditions and set points Increased levels of natural light Rainwater harvesting

Building Innovation & Green Building Fund

Commonwealth Funding The Green Building Fund Funding was sought from Round 3, Stream A of the Green Building Fund Grant of $495,000.00 was approved to fund the following: • Milestone 1: Construction of passive design elements • Milestone 2 : Installation of low energy lighting systems, efficient mixed mode air conditioning and performance monitoring and reporting system • Milestone 3: Installation of ‘nGen’ prototype air engine electricity generation systems • Milestone 4: Installation of Solar PV renewable energy systems • Post-project NABERS assessment

State Funding The Building Innovation Fund Funding sought for capital works associated with renewable energy technologies Grant of $309,900.00 in Round 1 was received as a top-up to the Green Building Fund on a non-contributory basis for: • Purchase and Installation of ‘nGen’ prototype air engine electricity generation systems & solar PV array • Pre and post-project NABERS assessment

Project Eligibility & The Application Process

BIF Application Process Two streams available: • Capital Works Stream • Feasibility & Case Study Stream Quins redevelopment qualified for the Capital Works Stream Funding for the following: • Costs associated with project activities • Costs involving the acquisition or construction of plant and equipment • Pre & Post-projects NABERS assessment Commonwealth funding ‘topped-up’ on a non-contributory basis

BIF Assessment Criteria Meeting the criteria: Greenhouse Gas Reduction Potential – 50% • Targeting zero operational emissions • PV cells & ‘nGen’ prototype electricity generation systems • Setting new standards in sustainable office space Innovation & Demonstration Potential – 50% • Business growth opportunity for equipment suppliers • Demonstration platform for new technologies • Restoring the site to viable commercial premises • Contributing towards the growth of the community • Revitalising the Port Adelaide region

BIF Reporting Process Cundall is responsible for the following BIF reports: • Progress reports every 6 months outlining the details of technical achievements and project expenditure based on milestones • A final report summarising details of the project • A certified post-project NABERS Energy assessment

Project Progress Key milestones & expected completion dates: Task Expected Completion Date Milestone 1 : Construction of passive 01/11/2010 design elements Milestone 2 : Installation of low energy lighting systems, efficient mixed mode air conditioning and 30/11/2010 online monitoring and reporting system Milestone 3: Installation of air engine electricity generation system 01/04/2011 Milestone 4: Installation of renewable energy systems 01/04/2011
