EMF GRIFFITHS – SUSTAINABILITY CONSULTANTS


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.
