Based on the outskirts of Brisbane (Yuggera Counry), AESSEAL’s headquarters is a 3,500m² industrial warehouse and the first building in Australia to achieve a BREEAM New Construction rating, achieving an ‘Excellent’ credit score of 78.3%. Cundall’s Brisbane-based team was engaged as the local sustainability expert to apply the BREEAM framework to the Australian market, taking into consideration regional standards and regulations.
Our ESD team conducted energy modelling and provided feedback on the initial design of the building, identifying opportunities to incorporate passive design strategies, maximise energy efficiency outcomes, and improve thermal comfort. Our services included an indoor air quality plan, a net zero carbon plan, as well as acting as the local Sustainability Champion, liaising with onsite builders, guiding them to meet BREEAM requirements.
David Sparks, Principal Sustainability Consultant at Cundall, said “translating the BREEAM framework so that it could be applied to the Australian market was a key challenge for this project. Through close collaboration between Cundall, Xenia Constructions, Carbon.Climate.Certified, Angle Design and AESSEAL we were able to deliver a fantastic result, with strong scores across each of BREEAM’s categories.”
International collaboration between Cundall and multiple stakeholders ensured the highest possible sustainable outcomes were achieved across this project.
