REWARDSCO: RIDGESIDE OFFICE BLOCK C 2 Ncondo Place, Umhlanga Ridge, Durban Green Star SA – Design v1 Achieved in November 2014 The new Rewardsco building is located in Umhlanga Ridge, Durban in close proximity to the Gateway shopping centre. It is a new office building for the Rewards Company (tenant) which is co-owned with but developed by Zenprop Property Holdings. Rewardsco has not taken tenancy on the first and ground floors and the office areas there have been delivered shell and core. The building consists of Ground + 5 floors of office over a super-basement containing 3 levels of parking. The project is one of 6 buildings in a business park. The super-basement is shared with 2 other existing buildings in the precinct. Rainwater is collected from the precinct to a central reservoir and then distributed to 5 buildings, including Rewardsco, for use Sustainable building features include: At least 83% of the office spaces are likely to receive continual daylight autonomy of 50% resulting in most of the work spaces designed to be naturally lit. This accompanied by daylight and motion sensors in place not only reduce electrical lighting energy consumption but will directly impact the productivity and wellbeing if the occupants. An XPanel interface controllers within the building will provide individual occupants control of the lighting up to 100% of the usable areas via smart phones, tablets and PC’s. This will ensure that lights are only used once occupied which saves on electrical lighting energy consumption. CO2 monitoring & Control will be carried out through CO2 sensors connected to the fan coiled units air ducts within the usable areas which, once CO2 levels reach a certain level, additional fresh air will be pumped into the spaces ensuring that people don’t get drowsy. Rainwater is harvested from a shared attenuation pond within the precinct which is filtrated and proportionally feeds into the building servicing the watercooled chiller, flushing of WC’s, urinals and irrigation. This along with water efficient fixtures (WC’s, urinals, taps), allows the building to reduce its potable water consumption. TOTAL POINTS: POINTS ALLOCATION: 49 MANAGEMENT INDOOR ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ENERGY There is a designated area made available for recycling of waste for the entire building along with reports from the recycling waste contractor and general waste contractor as to how much waste they removed from site in construction of the building. The building has more than a 70% of waste diverted from landfill. TRANSPORT WATER MATERIALS A refrigerant leak detection system linked to the water-cooled chillers will detect any leaks and notification sent via a sms to the facilities manager.
