180 Brisbane – Australia

Masterfully designed to integrate leading smart technology with maximum environmental credentials, this aesthetically dynamic high-rise building, located in a prominent Brisbane CBD location, is Queensland’s first 6-star, Green Star office building. Committed to Environmentally Sustainable Design (ESD), sustainability specialists worked with the design team to ensure the building performs very highly across all ESD measures. This building has a 6 Star, Green Star Office V3 GBCA grading and a 5.5 Star NABERS energy rating. These assessments will provide corporates with significant operating cost efficiencies (particularly in respect to water and energy consumption) as well as providing a positive work environment to stimulate staff and maximise productivity.

The building’s 34-storey facade features a dramatic motif of the Brisbane River which is highly recognizable from a number of vantage points throughout the city and becomes a theme throughout the development. EnduroShield Professional for glass was chosen to protect and maintain the 950m2 glass awnings of the building, chosen for its sustainable maintenance and cleaning properties. I & H Contractors, fabricators and designers of curtain wall systems, provided the glass awnings for the project. I & H are trained and certified to pre-apply EnduroShield to glass in factory, prior to installation. The EnduroShield treated surfaces will assist with maintaining a clean appearance, significantly reducing water usage in ongoing maintenance.
