Do you know HOW
to manage
green retrofitting?
• Could you implement an action plan for greening your
building portfolio?
•
Do you know how to assess your buildings’ energy
consumption and abatement potential?
•
Have you had a call from senior management asking what
you’re doing about sustainability?
•
Does your organisation have an environmental strategy
that you have to implement?
•
Have you considered the risks of ignoring sustainability?
•
Do you know how to manage tenants during a major
retro-greening project?
The Australian property industry faces a massive
challenge in greening its portfolio. To transform
existing buildings into energy efficient star rated
performers often requires major works, both back of
house and throughout the building’s occupied space.
For many of these buildings it will be a half life
refurbishment and a major re-lifing to reposition the
building in the market.
Importantly the majority of these projects will have to
be carried out while the building is at least part
occupied. This puts the building’s facility management
team into a position of fundamental importance,
managing the gap between the works contractors and
the operational requirements of the tenants, and the
compliance responsibilities of the owner.
Learning Objectives
This seminar is designed to equip facility managers
with the know-how and tools in order that they can:
•
Understand their role in the green retro-fitting process and where they can add value
•
Advocate for improved sustainability in buildings they manage
•
Be able to articulate their role in achieving green outcomes to others
•
Identify new skill requirements of themselves and their teams.
Key Topics
This seminar will provide important insights into the
green retrofitting process and the role of the facility
manager. It will explore the drivers for initiating the
process, the property and facility issues, the
preparation of a business case, the management of
the project and stakeholders, and the ongoing
operational and maintenance requirements to achieve
a successful green facility outcome.

Seminar Approach
There are a growing number of training seminars,
conferences and workshops being given on the broad
topic of sustainability, for participants within the built
environment industry. What is the focus of this
seminar and how is it different from the others? This
seminar:
This seminar will feature six highly experienced
presenters who have been directly involved in a green
retro-fit project. The seminar will go through the
process followed to upgrade a building to green
standards step-by-step. Each presenter will focus on
one step of the process and will present a real case
study to illustrate the issues faced at that stage of the
process. There will be a site tour of 111 Alinga Street
at the end of the seminar.
1.
is designed specifically for facility managers and focuses on the role of facility management in achieving green buildings’ sustainability
potential.
2.
will be given by professionals with
experience in retro-fitting existing buildings for high sustainable outcomes, as well as facility
management professionals with experience operating green buildings.
3.
will outline the step-by-step process to take a building from standard operations to achieving green performance targets.

Case Studies
200 Victoria Street is a six-storey
office block located on the fringe of the
Melbourne CBD. Originally built in the
1970s, the building is set to undergo a
substantial refurbishment to reposition it
as Premium grade boutique office
accommodation. The ground floor will comprise retail
space, with levels one to six providing high quality office
space.
The refurbished building will be designed to achieve 5
star ABGR and a 6 star Green Star rating. It will include
large efficient floorplates and good natural light, as well
as taking advantage of its positional advantages, such
as the opportunity for high exposure signage and
proximity to Queen Victoria market and Melbourne
Central.
530 Collins Street is a 38 floor Premium
grade office building ideally situated near
Melbourne’s rapidly growing Dockland’s
precinct, which has seen the city shift
increasingly to the west end. The building
was designed in the 1980s and completed
in 1991, well before sustainability ratings
were a consideration. The majority of the plant and
equipment is original with some major items now
approaching end of life. A strategic upgrade plan has
been developed which will not only see the replacement
of this hardware, it is also planned to achieve a
significant increase in the NABERS Energy rating.
530 Collins Street rates well considering the age and
complex nature of such a large office building, but in
order to meet forecast future tenant and investor
requirements, improved efficiencies are required. The
requirement to upgrade equipment, while
simultaneously improving energy and greenhouse
performance has created the need for a different
delivery mechanism to be used. Performance
contracting was chosen to ensure that the contractor
delivering the upgrade has a vested interest in the
technical performance of the project.
40 Albert Road, South Melbourne is a
1,200m2 five-storey office building built in
1987, which was regenerated during
2004-05 to world leading environmental
standards. Owned and headquartered by
the Szencorp group, 40 Albert Road is
probably Australia’s greenest building,
having achieved the highest possible rating in Australia’s
three largest green rating systems – Green Star,
NABERS Energy and NABERS Water. It was the first
office building to achieve the 6 star Green Star-Office
Design V.1 rating.
The emphasis of the project post-completion is on
accountability for results, with state-of-the-art monitoring
systems installed to ensure actual building performance
lives up to expectations. Szencorp has continued its
green leadership by taking steps to ensure that the
lessons from the project are shared. Steps include
running tours of the building features, establishing a
building website, www.ourgreenoffice.com, and making
building energy and water use monitoring data available
online.
111 Alinga Street is a six storey
commercial building located within
the central business district of
Canberra. The building is
approximately 16,000 M2 NLA. It
was built in 1987 and comprises six
office levels (level one to six), a
combined office and retail level (mezzanine), a
combined office and retail level (ground floor) and two
car park levels (upper and lower basement). The
thermal plant room is located above level six, with four
air handling units located on each internal corner of
each floor.
The recent upgrades, started in January 2007 and now
mostly complete, took place in a fully occupied
building and included a new BMCS including plant and
VAV controls upgrades, new thermal plant including
chillers, boilers, pumps and associated equipment. The
lifts were upgraded as were all the bathrooms in the
building. There were also extensive foyer works
including creation of new basement lift lobbies, new
tiling to the colonnade and painting of the building
exterior.
