Sydney’s 8 Chifley Square development, which is jointly owned by Mirvac Group and K-REIT Asia, has been awarded a 6 Star Green Star — Office Design v2 certified rating from the Green Building Council of Australia (GBCA).

Located on the corner of Elizabeth, Hunter and Phillip Streets within the core of Sydney’s CBD, 8 Chifley Square is a thirty four (34) storey premium grade commercial office building designed by architect Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners and Lippmann Partnership.

The environmentally sustainable design features that have been incorporated into the design include:

Blackwater recycling plant for the treatment and reuse of building and mains sewer, reducing the building’s demand on potable water supply and discharge to sewer.
Tri-generation system for onsite generation of base building power, heating and cooling and peak load reduction from the existing electricity grid. The tri-generation system will also be capable of exporting power to other buildings at certain times of the year.
Chilled beam mechanical system with high volume of fresh air intake.
A façade that includes external shading and performance glazing reducing heat load, direct sunlight and daylight glare
Naturally ventilated ground floor glass lobby enclosure.
Use of low volatile organic compound materials and minimising the use of polyvinyl chloride products
Basement facilities for cyclists including bike racks, change rooms and lockers
Photovoltaic ready roof structure.

8 Chifley Square is now one of Australia’s newest green landmarks, and we congratulate the team at Mirvac Group and K-REIT Asia for their green leadership,” said Chief Executive of the Green Building Council of Australia, Romilly Madew.
