1. Introduction

The Australian Government is dedicated to the development of our sustainable future, and thus has

set Ecologically Sustainable Development targets for residential / commercial buildings. These

targets not only encourage reduced environmental impact during construction, but equally promote

sustainable use for the entire life cycle of the development. To facilitate this goal, the commitment of the client is paramount.

The impact of buildings within the environment is very complex. The life cycle of the building from

design phase through to use and eventual refurbishment/demolition can produce a variety of

impacts. At the initial phase, we must be very mindful of planning for sustainability. Materials, land

ecology and waste management are vital to protecting the environment. The design stage must also

examine passive design principles and plan for optimum occupant comfort and use. Finally,

consideration must be given future refurbishment / demolition to ensure the opportunities for

recycling / reuse are maximised.

Life Cycle of a Building

The design stage is when most of these impacts are determined, therefore is the greatest

opportunity to reduce the environmental impact of the project. This is achieved by creating

strategies to meet and exceed targets set by the Government (described in this SMP report).

2. Project Description

Located within the City of Yarra, the proposed development is designed to be respectful of the

environment during both construction and its continued use by aligning with the Council's leading

policies on sustainability. The proposal expects to integrate measures that support social,

environmental and economic outcomes.

The project consists of the construction of a total of 15 x 4 storey townhouses each with 3

bedrooms. Car and bicycle parking is to be provided in private garage spaces to all dwellings.

Demolition and clearance of existing brick factories is required to prepare the area for the proposed

new development.

A Built Environment Scorecard Score (BESS) assessment, Stormwater Treatment Objective Relative

Measure (STORM) assessment and preliminary NatHERS energy ratings have been conducted on the

development to certify that this development will meet best practice targets.

This report presents a description of Sustainable Design strategies proposed for implementation

within the project and is based on drawings by JAM Architects Pty Ltd (dated 29.05.19 Rev3).

3. Energy Lab

Energy Lab was formed in 2005 with the goal of providing the industry a dedicated team of energy

efficiency experts with a vast amount of experience in residential and commercial construction. Our

expertise in sustainability analysis has resulted in being the preferred contact for many projects from

smaller developments to large multi-level apartment buildings.

We have had the great opportunity to work with architects and builders on multiple large apartment

buildings within the heart of Melbourne, in addition to thousands of smaller multi-unit sites. Energy

Lab has provided assessments for media personalities, sporting celebrities and even televised extension / renovation / apartment shows.

Each and every project is important from a tiny extension to a large building and we pride ourselves

on our dedicated service to support our clients with least cost technically acceptable solutions.

4. SDAPP

Adhering to the assessment requirements in the Yarra Planning Scheme, this report reflects compliance with the Sustainable Design Assessment in the Planning Process (SDAPP) program that considers 10 Key sustainable Building Categories:

■ Indoor Environment Quality

■ Energy Efficiency

■ Water Efficiency

■ Stormwater Management

■ Building Materials

■ Transport

■ Waste Management

■ Urban Ecology

■ Innovation

■ Ongoing Building and Site Management

This report reflects how the development will meet the above sustainability targets, comply with

Best Practice and where practicable, exceed Council performance standards. The overall approach

will be a positive sustainable addition to the neighbourhood which will be demonstrated in the following analysis.

5. Indoor Environment Quality

Indoor Environment Quality is measured by how the building is perceived by its occupants. This comprises of safety, accessibility, air quality, ventilation, thermal comfort, lighting, noise and visual appeal. It is important to analyse this because people spend around 90% of their time indoors. Ensuring human environments are as pleasant as possible in turn improves comfort.

The building complies with a healthy indoor environment quality via the following commitments:

Light and Ventilation

• The proposed units are mindful of cross-flow ventilation throughout each level. This has

been achieved by providing ample openings to improve air flow throughout each room.

Good cross-flow ventilation improves occupant comfort by allowing fresh cool air to flow

through the zones, reducing the reliance on artificial cooling and circulating methods. It

also assists in the removal of indoor pollutants which can be harmful to occupants. All living

areas feature large glazed sliding doors to maximise daylight and ventilation through the

daytime occupied rooms

• Windows have been positioned on all practical perimeters to allow for natural daylight to

filter through all bedroom and living zones. Where necessary, eaves will be included over

living room sliding doors to reduce the amount of excessive solar heat gain from west

facing zones.

• The units will be constructed of thermally efficient materials and will exceed energy

efficiency regulations. They will be very comfortable to live in and will need minimal

artificial heating / cooling.

Wage

1111 erleRGYI_FIE

■ Acoustic disturbances identified are: o Queens Parade traffic (immediate noise source) o Urban noise (surrounding light reverberation) o Neighbouring residences (immediate noise source) o Building plant equipment

o Air conditioning condensers

■ The project will feature high levels of insulation and double glazing (refer to energy report

for specific inclusions) which will assist in minimising acoustic disturbances

■ Appropriate acoustic insulation to be installed to all party walls between units in line with

Australian Building Code requirements to provide suitable protection between dwellings and projected sound transmittance. ■ To address the issue of traffic noise, the main living areas are set behind private terraces,

which delivers daytime well-being.

■ The units feature a clear separation between kitchen/dining/living zones for daytime

comfort and bedroom zones for overnight comfort. This layout reduces the load on the

heating and cooling systems within each dwelling. Occupants will be able to control their

comfort by the use of highly efficient heater/air conditioning units.

■ Indoor environment quality has be addressed by committing to using low emission

volatile organic compounds (VOC) paints, laminates, adhesives, varnishes, MDF, plywood,

particleboard, floor coverings and extends to all other building products being used in the development. The commitments are as follows: o Carpets will be selected based on Low VOC labelling (fabric and bonding adhesive). Most VOC

emissions dissipate within the first week after installation. o Traditional oil-based timber finishes have a high solvent level thus contributing to unpleasant

internal air pollution. Timber will be finished with water-based products producing no more than 140 grams of VOC per litre.

o Internal wall and ceiling paints will be selected with "Low VOC" noted on the product label. Commitment will be made to use products producing no more than 50 grams of VOC per litre.

o Adhesives will be water-based with "Low VOC" noted on the product label. Commitment will be made to use products producing no more than 80 grams of VOC per litre.

o Low formaldehyde emissions (LFE) will be addressed by committing to products producing no more than 0.05 parts per million (E0 standard)

o During construction, doors and windows will be opened to increase ventilation when using products that emit VOCs and the internal temperature and humidity will be kept low (as chemicals release more gas under warmer conditions and higher humidity).

■ To protect the health of construction workers, OH&S must be strictly followed and must

include protection from cutting / inhaling dust particles (face masks, safety glasses, gloves etc.).

living zones benefit from natural light filtering through the windows,

thus occupants will not need to rely on artificial sources as often.

At least 50% of external lighting to be controlled by motion sensors to

reduce unnecessary energy usage.

6. Energy Efficiency

Fossil fuels are non-renewable yet provide nearly all the energy needed by Australian residents, businesses and industry. Given that limited resources are available it is imperative that we look towards sustainability for the future. Addressing the efficiency of where we live will greatly improve our position and thus greatly reduce our reliance on these diminishing resources.

8. Water Resources

Australia has suffered from a great water shortage in recent years; however being water-wise will greatly improve this position. Implementing the opportunities at design/construction stage will significantly reduce water consumption. The development greatly supports the City of Yarra's initiative for best practice water management strategies by the following commitments:

9. Stormwater Management

Stormwater typically runs from an allotment, to collection and soon-after into rivers, lakes and the ocean. Making use of this water greatly reduces our impact on the environment, reduces reliance on potable water and protects nearby waterways and creeks. Consideration should be given to catchment and storage, filtering the water to trap pollutants, and using this water for toilets and

gardens.

The building strongly supports a treatment and reduction of stormwater run-off by offering the

following strategies:

Specification Treatment

(Total Site

Description

Rainwater Tanks

14,650L

Rainwater tanks will be installed, capturing water from roof

terraces and flat-deck roofing. The harvested water will service

toilets to THs 1-7 and 10-15. The rainwater tank systems will

initially run through a first-flush filtration process to ensure the

water collected is of suitable quality. Appropriate filtration

systems will be implemented to further ensure the harvested water

is suitable for re-use.

'Wage

111 OrIORGYI_FIB

The STORM analysis demonstrates the following:

■ All southern terraces of TH1-2, 5 and 9-13 diverted to rainwater tanks

■ TH1-7 and 10-13 roof terraces diverted to rainwater tanks

■ TH8-9 roof terrace to storm

■ TH1-7, 10-15 wc's are serviced by rainwater tanks

■ TH 14 and 15 flat-framed (metal deck) roofing to rainwater tanks which services their wc's

■ All northern lower terraces to storm

■ Remaining hard surface to storm

■ Total tank size required = 14,650

o TH1-7, 10-13 @ 1150L each connected to wc's

o TH14-15 @1000L each connected to wc's

o No tanks required for TH8 & 9

Total Site Area = 1,041.0 m2

Total Hard Surface Area = 942.10 m2 Pervious Area = 98.9 m2

■ The STORM Rating achieved from this strategy is 102%.

■ Refer to Appx. B for full STORM assessment. Storm Transaction ID: 789122

The proposed WSUD strategy is subject to final drainage plan and civil/hydraulic design with detailed planning to be carried out by suitably qualified engineer.

■ During construction, the site will be regularly cleared / cleaned to ensure the footpath,

gutter and drains are not contaminated with site rubbish;

o Divert / protect stormwater from disturbed or exposed areas (to avoid unfiltered

water running to the stormwater system); including sweeping up excess sediment on

bordering roads and other impervious surfaces.

o Keep storage bins covered / well enclosed to ensure that rubbish is contained on site

and disposed of properly.

o Revise cleaning systems as the site changes during construction to ensure targets are

being maintained.

o Conduct weekly inspections of the site to ensure all measures are being adhered to. o Ensure that when washing equipment on site, the wastewater does not enter the

stormwater system. This involves creating a barrier between washing areas and the

stormwater drains.

Contamination Preventio

■ To prevent contaminants, spills or leaks from entering the stormwater system (during

construction stage). This can be achieved by ensuring equipment is readily available to

contain the pollutant (such as absorbents, barriers or brooms);

o Ensure an emergency spill kit is available on site including shovel / brooms, safety

gloves, sorbents, absorbent pads and rolls, drain seals and guards.

o Ensure each contractor is familiar with procedures for emergency spillage.

o Ensure spill kit is located in a position easily accessible for urgent use.

10. Building Materials

The materials chosen for a building project has a significant impact on the environment. Preference should always be given to products that have low embodied energy plus low toxicity in manufacture and use. It is also important to consider issues such as the impact of material consumption off-site (e.g. mining).

The building minimises the environmental impact of materials through the following commitments:

• cal Material Sourcing

• The use of local materials is paramount. The following will be sourced within the

Melbourne area to minimise the embodied energy of the products; insulation, tiling,

carpets, timber, concrete, plasterboard, cladding, garage doors, windows. Products will

be sourced based on the following order of effect: 1. Made locally

2. Made within Victoria

3. Made in Australia using Australian stock

4. Made in Australia using imported stock

5. Imported from China/Japan via sea freight

6. Imported from Europe/USA via sea freight

7. Imported by all other international air freight

Recycled Concrete,

■ Recycled concrete will be used in areas of general fill, pavement aggregate and road base.

Minimum recycled commitment is 15% recycled content (for insitu concrete)

■ Any Glasswool type bulk insulation used will be primarily composed of recycled glass.

Rockwool is also a product which is highly recycled. Insulation will be sourced from

suppliers who commit to the following minimums:

■ 70% recycled content

■ Packaged in a compressed state (more product can be shipped in each

truck)

■ Materials that have a low embodied energy and water content will be selected,

considering the raw product to completion and disposal.

• Any aluminium windows will be sourced from local manufacturers (who engage in local

resources) thus minimising an otherwise high embodied energy factor. Other metals such

as zinc, copper and tin will not be used due to their high embodied energy factor.

■ Materials with low toxic emissions will be used (Refer to Indoor Environment Quality

within this report).

■ All materials selected for the project are suitable for their exact purpose, and will meet

the installation and usage data as provided by the manufacturer.

11IPage

AN, eneRsYLRB

■ Minimisation of PVC particularly targeting sanitary plumping and electrical wiring.

Preference will be given to high-density polyethylene (HDPE) piping for water delivery.

■ The appliances installed will not use chlorofluorocarbon (based) refrigerants.

• All timber used within the project will be certified through an accredited forest

certification scheme such as the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) or the Australian Forest

Certification Scheme (AFCS). Ecospecifier is a public-accessible web based resource that

provides a list of recognised third party endorsed eco-products, materials, technologies

and resources. This resource can be referred to when identifying sustainable materials.

■ Durable materials are also essential. Products and materials that are long-lasting and

require minimal maintenance will be selected. Consideration will also be given to the

ongoing maintenance of materials, which will include cleaning and preservation, ensuring they continue to meet the intended usage.

11. Transport

Alternative transport options encourage residents to rely on other ways of getting around instead of vehicular. Choosing a site close to public transport promotes this, along with providing space for

bicycle storage.

The project's design encourages the promotion of other modes of transport other than vehicular by:

• Dedicated bicycle storage to be available in the private garage areas for resident's bike

parking. Residents have convenient safe access with sufficient room to access their

bicycles and are able to exit directly to the adjoining laneways and onwards to community

bicycle pathways. A minimum of 1 bicycle spaces per unit to be provided. Visitors are able

to store their bikes within the hosts dwelling.

12. Waste Management

In the early stages it is imperative to consider the environmental impact of waste on the greater environment. Design needs to be considerate of flexibility for future disassembly. As it is a major environmental issue, we must follow the following rules: avoid, reduce, reuse and recycle. If we do this, we can greatly reduce building-related waste (currently over 40% of landfill).

The building minimises the environmental impact of waste through the following commitments:

• ply Calculatio

■ Product calculations (supply) will be precise to avoid over-supply of construction materials

and thus needless waste. Contractors will be consulted regarding how much waste they

expect to be generated by the project and consider how to reduce levels.

• Recyclable waste and general rubbish will be separated into two contained piles for the

construction stage. Each contractor attending the site will be issued with instructions on

sorting waste resourcefully.

Dedicated Bin Storage Area

• Resident bins are located within a dedicated bin storage area at ground level with

separated general rubbish / recycling / hard waste. The residents will be responsible for

sorting recyclable waste from garbage waste and place into their appropriate bins.

80% Mass Recycling Strategy: The Construction Waste Management Plan strategies are as follows:

Waste Reduction and Minimisation ,

■ Commitment to divert at least 80% of construction/demolition waste from landfill.

■ Standard sized products will be used to avoid creating waste when materials are cut /

adjusted to unusual lengths (this is the responsibility of the designer in collaboration with

each contractor involved).

■ Packaging from site materials will be sorted and recycled. Each contractor will be

responsible for choosing products with minimal packaging.

■ Pre-cut or pre-fabricated products will be given priority (contractor responsibility)

■ The design of the dwelling is adaptable, thus when remodelling occurs the impact of

waste will be greatly reduced.

■ Care will be taken when the site is excavated to minimise unnecessary site disturbance,

with the aim of reducing organic waste.

13. Urban Ecology

Selecting a site for development can involve many issues. Protecting the urban community can be encouraged by planning to support animals and plants that live in the area. Selecting a site that has been previously used is an advantage, or a site that is located within an urban area. Also implementing a landscaping plan that restores native plants helps us reach our target. Ultimately we

aim to impact the environment in a positive way.

The building supports the protection of biodiversity and encourages indigenous plant species

through the following commitments:

■ 8% of the site area will be vegetated by incorporating large planter boxes in the private

terrace areas. This vegetation will be visible to all residents.

■ The development includes opportunities for residents to be a part of their greater

surrounding environment. The design includes separate outdoor relaxation zones and

offers residents great privacy whilst connecting them to their neighbouring landscape.

■ Water efficient plants and landscaping design to be incorporated into the site to reduce

the amount of water required by the vegetation. Drought tolerant plants and ground

cover to be chosen as determined by landscape architect.

■ All units to feature outdoor space to allow residents the opportunity to better connect

and interact with nature and provide the ability for all residents to grow plants/vegetation

outside.

■ Private terrace and balcony spaces will include external taps and appropriate drainage to

make it easier for residents to utilise the spaces for growing vegetation.

■ The project will significantly improve the sustainability and energy efficiency of the site in

focus. The current site formerly contained commercial properties that featured minimal

water harvesting systems, which will be improved upon by the introduction of Water

Sensitive Urban Design strategies for the new building.

■ The design is sensitive to providing a 'green' streetscape consistent with surrounding

environment.

■ Clean excavated materials will be retained and re-used in landscaping.

Questions


What is the additional reduction in potable (mains) water use due to rainwater harvesting? Additional water uses for rainwater include non-potable demands such as irrigation, pools, commercial process uses and taps for washdown. Note: tank water will only be available for additional uses if it not required for internal uses. If the property uses an alternative water source, the alternative water source is deemed to meet 90% of additional non-potable water use requirements. You are using the built in calculation tools. This credit is calculated from information you have entered above in the rainwater tanks section.
