GECC approach to Innovation • Various definitions of innovation such as: • “Utilisation of new methods or ideas” • “Doing things differently to what we have done before” • GECC focus is on reducing risk by using or adapting proven technology when it comes to innovation.
Design / Development Processes • Typical things we do on every major building project: • 4 - 5% of construction costs spent on ESD. • Inclusion of ESD engineers on the design team. NEW THINGS WE DID ON THE GESAC PROJECT • Engagement of Leisure Consultants as part of the design team. • Aquatic Facility Reviews in Victoria and Inter-state. • Reverse Brief Process. • Pier Review of major disciplines. • Full time on-site presence of GECC staff.
Innovative Features of the Project • Due to the nature of the project much of the innovation is centred around ESD outcomes but also has some interesting customer experience features. • Energy Efficiency • Water Saving • Environment • Operations • Architectural • Customer Experience
Energy Efficiency • Glazing • Building Orientation • Shelter and Shading • Heat Exchangers • Variable Speed Drives • 100% Green Power • BMS • Lighting Systems; C-Bus • Solar Water Heating
Water Saving • Rainwater Harvesting • Backwash Reclamation • Bore incorporation • Irrigation • Pool Filtration System • WSUD
Environment • Air Quality • Daylight Maximisation • Glare Control
Operations • Pool plant access and removal • Excess Capacity to Enable Breakdown Redundancy • Separate Balance Tanks
Architectural • Bubble Roof / Navigation • Fabric Structure Over Water Slide Tower
Customer Experience • Learn to Swim Mirrors • Security
Conclusion GESAC provides Leisure, Recreation & “Well Being” Opportunities for the whole Glen Eira Community. It incorporates a variety of innovative features many of which are ESD related and contribute to making the facility efficient to operate. Based on these features the ESD Engineers have estimated that over a 25 year period the facility will at current rates: • Save $550,000 in water costs • Save $2.6 - $2.8 million in energy costs • Avoid producing 82,000 tonnes of greenhouse gas
