1A space that promotes health & comfort, produces great air quality and temperature, implements effective noise management as well as achieves good lighting and overall comfort, results in increased productivity and less sick days taken.
Go green. Get smart.
The basics
AURECON ON WORKPLACEDESIGN
They make (green) sense
Buildings with better sustainability credentials enjoy increased marketability.
Energy savings in green buildings typically exceed any design and construction cost premiums within a reasonable payback period.
The cost premium of green buildings is typically not as high as is perceived by the development industry.

What green can do for you
Evidence from the United States and Australia reveals that Energy Star, LEED and Green Star-rated buildings typically command rental premiums in the range of 0% – 17.3%
4Kats (2003) found that a minimal upfront investment of 2% on top of the construction costs of a project yields savings of over ten times the initial investment, based on a life cycle of 20 years for 33 LEED-rated projects in the United States.

Services and systems can communicate how leading edge an organisation is in terms of technology, and how environmentally friendly it is.
Workspaces continue to shift toward a a more ‘open’ environment, incorporating a range of spaces that can be utilised for different workplace activities.

6Gain more control of local environment via task lighting, under floor air distribution systems and motorised desks.
Greater access to daylight, natural ventilation, views and green space is pivotal in enhancing productivity
Bring the outdoors, in.
Sustainability
Green walls encourage the rate of fresh air exchange and discourage allergenic mould growth.
There are two approaches to plants inside a building: a scattered approach and dedicated green space.
Promote natural light around the office - this will reduce the need to artificial light.

Methods to the madness
Sustainability
Energy efficient LED lighting reduces lighting costs by up to 90 percent and promotes more productive work spaces.
Using a chilled beam system to heat or cool the building will achieve lower energy use, low floor-to-floor heights, low noise and low air movement (savings in fan energy).
Modularity and pre-fabrication construction methods reduce costs and materials wastage and achieve greater quality control, testing and qualification.

Energy related elements are now at the forefront of the decision-making process when it comes to setting up an office space.
Sustainability ratings are now considered a badge of pride for a high-performing building (LEED, Green Star, NABERS).
These are just some of the contemporary offices we have contributed to:
