CSR’s Triniti Project has been awarded a 5 star Green Star — Office Interiors v1.1 rating for the fitout of its new offices located in the Triniti III building in the Stockland Triniti campus at North Ryde.

Stockland has registered the Triniti III building for a Green Star — Office As Built v2 rating which stands alongside the 5 Star Green Star — Office As Built v2 ratings it achieved for campus buildings I and II.

The project is the first to achieve a 5 star Green Star — Office Interiors v1.1 rating in the first round. CSR’s new development presented an opportunity to bring together all the company's brands and apply them to create onebuilding.

The company’s vision for its new headquarters was for a sustainable workplace that encouraged innovation and collaboration between business units and provided up-to-the minute facilities and technology.

The fitout of the new premises has already seen results when compared to the previous CSR premises. For example, a reduction of 23 per cent in office space (from 8,420 sqm to 6,486 sqm) and a reduction of 60 per cent in office storage space as a result of improvements to filing and other storage systems.

Additionally, a survey carried out internally revealed that on average, 45 per cent of employees were leaving their computers on at night. CSR has implemented a power saving inititiative to put computers into hibernation mode after two hours, which will save around 45 per cent of PC energy consumption.

The project includes internal stairs, which have been designed to reduce the environmental impact of the building and improve the indoor environmental quality of the fitout.

The acoustic design of the building also features Ecophon floating acoustic panels. When combined with education and planning of the office space, the acoustic panels deliver a better indoor environment quality for workers.

Further acoustic benefits are delivered by the use of Fricker ceiling systems and Ecophon wall panels used in meeting rooms and breakout areas. Other sustainability initiatives include energy efficient lighting controlled by time switches, movement sensors and perimeter sensors and the use of LED lighting in the staircase.

The majority of workstations are positioned within 8 metres of the windows to allow long distance views and a visual connection to the outdoors, and all staff members — including management — are in open plan workspaces which encourages collaboration.

The use of Gyprock compounds, adhesives and sealants, all of which have low VOCs and are CETEC approved, also had a positive impact on Green Star credits.
