GOLD COAST AIRPORT TOPPED WITH AN ABUNDANCE OF PLYWOOD. This landmark project has doubled the footprint of the existing Gold Coast Airport terminal. The new three-level terminal, designed by Hassell and constructed by Lendlease presented numerous challenges including scale, noise minimisation and a global pandemic. Jaime Genn, Project Manager of Havendeen Roofing explained how a double layer of Ecoply plywood was used for acoustics under the roofing and how it also helped speed up construction, by reducing exclusion zones before the roof was installed. “A double layer of 25mm and 21mm Ecoply plywood was installed over the entire roof to meet the acoustic rating - totalling 14,000 square metres. The added benefit was that workers then had free reign to work under it while insulation and roofing sheets were installed on top.” Structural Ecoply plywood provides durability, strength and design flexibility and is certified by the Engineered Wood Products Association of Australasia (EWPAA) as compliant with AS/NZS 2269 and meets Fire Hazard properties AS1530.3. Building during a global pandemic added to the logistical challenges of this project. Like many construction materials, plywood was in short supply. As locally-made Ecoply is manufactured in Myrtleford, Victoria it could be brought directly to site in a massive, 13 semi-trailer loads.

MISTAFOG: COST EFFECTIVE COOLING FOR COMMERCIAL APPLICATIONS With the air conditioning accounting for between 30% and 60% of the cost of operating a commercial or office building and power prices increasing dramatically over the last 5 years, air conditioning precooling has become an essential addition to the building owners’ operational plans. An air conditioner running at full capacity for longer, will require much higher servicing costs over its lifetime. In addition to saving power costs, pre-cooling with an air conditioner misting system will reduce maintenance requirements for air-cooled condensers by reducing running and cycle times in order to produce the same amount of cooling capacity. By lowering the workload on the air conditioning system via lower head pressures within the compressor system in the condenser, wear and tear on the overall system is greatly reduced. High head pressures within a system will shorten the life of the compressor whereas lowering the head pressures through air con pre-cooling will extend the life of the condenser unit. Coil cool pre-cooling will ensure that the air conditioning system can operate within its optimal temperature range all year round.

MATERIALLY DIFFERENT AND CURATED FOR EXCELLENCE Piero Lissoni has collaborated with Alpi to create a unique range of evocative, coloured, quartered recut timber veneers; the French Palette. Unlike the staining process often used to achieve coloured timber surfaces, Alpi’s veneers are toned all the way through with colours inspired by the paintings of Italian Renaissance artists such as Veronese and Titian through to those of the French Enlightenment. Based on a refined interpretation of colour research, the French Palette presents soft but forceful tones, hints of evergreens and refined nuances like teal blue and burgundy. “A colour palette that is extremely modern but ancient at the same time.” Piero Lissoni. Not only beautiful but also responsible, the French Palette is produced in poplar wood from Italian arboriculture sites. An ecological, renewable, raw material par excellence, poplar wood stands out for its environmental qualities, fast-growth and remarkable ability to absorb the CO2 present in the atmosphere.

The buildings of tomorrow.
The Sustainable Buildings Research Centre (SBRC) was the first building in Australia fully accredited under the Living Building Challenge (LBC), as well as being the Illawarra’s first six-star Green Star Building. The LBC is arguably the highest built environment sustainability accreditation in the world today with its ambition to encourage buildings to be net zero energy and water, to connect more readily with the natural environment, and provide comfortable and restorative places to live and work.
The SBRC not only embodies sustainable design, but is a ‘living’ laboratory for improving building and material design. The ‘high-bay’ roof is divided into two discrete sections using COLORBOND® steel in the colour Surfmist® and COLORBOND® Coolmax® steel. These materials were chosen for their high solar reflectance (low absorptance) and ability to improve the thermal performance of a building.
The building also meets the high standards demanded by the material and waste requirements of the LBC with the BlueScope materials used being manufactured locally and incorporating recycled content. BlueScope is also committed to sustainable sourcing practices that create, protect and build long term environmental, social and economic value.
The COLORBOND® steel Environmental Product Declaration is available at steel.com.au/epd. For information about specifying BlueScope products, please visit steelselect.com.au or call our technical team on 1800 753 658.
