Dear Phil
RE: NOOSA SPRINGS BOUTIQUE HOTEL - PV SOLAR POWER
Phil, we have reviewed the latest design provided and confirm PV design shown will have space for a
50kVA solar PV power generating system.
The benefits of the system being provided include the following:-
Roof Top Solar Power
The development is to have a 50kVA rooftop PV solar power system. This is concealed in recessed roof
plant areas and on top of car bays as shown. This is so the plant and PV panels are not visible but still
fully exposed to the sun.
This will provide the following benefits:-
a A 50kVA PV system will save approximately 60,000k9 of CO2 greenhouse emissions per annum
a The environmental benefit of this is the equivalent of:
- planting 360 trees; or
- taking 12 petrol cars off the road; or
- making B homes completely carbon neutral.
We trust this is sufficient for your requirements. However, should you require any further information please
contact the undersigned.
Yours faithfully
(() Y,kA

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The proposed development, Noosa Springs Hotel Development, comprises of a luxury hotel development that rises
from a Ground Level.
EMF Griffiths are the project’s Sustainability Consultants. This report outlines the project’s commitment to superior
design outcomes with respect to ESD.
The key achievements which can be considered a superior design outcome with respect to ESD are as follows: -
A performance integrated facade that incorporates good levels of insulation,
Facade Amenity glazing, and private balconies that provide passive shading and shelter from wind
and sunlight.
The buildings incorporate significant passive design initiatives that result in a
reduction in annual cooling demand when compared to a standard
Energy Management Deemed-To-Satisfy outcome. The annual thermal energy load is less than the code
and Lifecycle Impacts required levels. This results in direct reduction in energy to heat and cool the
building with associated improvements in running costs, efficient resource use and
less greenhouse gas emissions.
Water Rainwater water is to be harvested for pool top-up and irrigation.
As a brief requirement, materials shall be selected which minimise the use of
materials that deplete natural resources or create toxic pollution during

manufactured with high levels of recycled or waste materials are encouraged.

SECTION 1.0 INTRODUCTION
EMF Griffiths has been engaged by GH Properties to report on Superior Design Outcomes (SDO’s) to improve the
sustainability outcomes for the project.
This report will demonstrate how the proposed development protects, manages and enhances natural systems and
promotes the efficient use of materials, water and energy to minimise impacts on the environment. It will illustrate
the project’s specific targeted measures that contribute to a sustainable development.
The development has set real and attainable goals to achieve a superior design outcome. The project focuses on
the following: -
• A commitment to passive design principles, including energy efficiency and thermal comfort, as well as
integration of natural ventilation.
• Project requirements for responsible materials selection and waste reduction.
• Water use reduction through rainwater harvesting and efficiency measures.
• Reduce Greenhouse Gas Emissions with reduced energy consumption and an onsite 50kVA solar PV
power production system.

All shower roses have a minimum 3-star Water Efficiency Labelling and Standards rating 4.5
to 9 litres per minute.
All toilet cisterns have a dual flush function and have a minimum 4-star Water Efficiency

Conservation are compatible with the size of the toilet bowl to allow for proper functioning of the toilet.
All tap ware has a minimum 4-star Water Efficiency Labelling and Standards rating, 6.5 to 7.5
litres per minute with tap aerator.
Water meters are required on all major water uses in the project.
Water Meters Common area water meters [four (4) approx.] will be linked to automated monitoring and
provide a leak detection system as standard, with an active alarm process.

2.4 WASTE AND MATERIALS
Deliverable Criteria
The design will demonstrate innovation in the selection and use of construction materials and
products, which minimise the use of materials that deplete natural resources or create toxic
pollution in their manufacture. Materials with potential for end of life recycling or that contain or
are manufactured with high levels of recycled or waste materials should be encouraged.
The following strategies are to be considered for materials selection: -
• Timber products used in the building and construction works are required to be
sourced from either or a combination of post-consumer re-used timber; or Forest
Stewardship Council (FSC) certified timber.
Sustainable • Total cost of PVC content is to be reduced through replacement with alternative
Supplier materials or ethically manufactured PVC.
• Thermal insulants and refrigerants, where they are used are to avoid the use of ozone-
depleting substances in both manufacture and composition.
• All wall, ceiling, carpet and floor finishes, and adhesives and sealants are to be low-
VOC emitting (EN 13419).
• The project will, where appropriate, source their manufactured materials from
suppliers with ISO14001 certification and EMPs in place.
• The development will use materials sourced locally where practical.
• Reduction of Portland cement in all concrete mixes across the project.
