| The Gauge officially Australia’s greenest building The Gauge, the evolutionary workplace by Lend Lease at Victoria Harbour in Melbourne's Docklands, is officially the country's greenest building, after it became the first building in Australia to receive a 6 Star Green Star – Office As Built Certified Rating, from the Green Building Council of Australia. This is a significant first for the industry and represents the highest accolade possible for green buildings in Australia after the Green Star rating system was introduced in 2003. Lend Lease has now conceived and delivered both Australia's first 5 Star Green Star – Office As Built building with its global headquarters 30 The Bond in Sydney and the first 6 Star Green Star - Office As Built building with The Gauge in Melbourne. The name "The Gauge" reflects the idea of measurement and, with the 6 Star Green Star – Office As Built rating, it now becomes the yardstick for industry to gauge its progress on environmental sustainability in new commercial developments. Construction of The Gauge commenced in early 2007 and was completed in April this year. write your comments about the article :: © 2008 Construction News :: home page |
