Real Estate Commitment to Sustainability

Angel Place is committed to achieving long term sustainable outcomes by addressing Environment, Social and Governance matters

NABERS ENERGY

NABERS is a national rating system that measures the environmental performance of Australian buildings, tenancies and homes. Put simply, NABERS measures the energy efficiency, water usage, waste management and indoor environment quality of a building or tenancy and its impact on the environment.

It does this by using measured and verified performance information, such as utility bills, and converting them into an easy to understand star rating scale from one to six stars. For example, a 6 star rating demonstrates market-leading performance, while a 1 star rating means the building or tenancy has considerable scope for improvement.

For over ten years, NABERS has helped property owners, managers and tenants across Australia to improve their sustainability performance, reaping financial benefits and building their reputation.

NABERS is managed nationally by the NSW Office of Environment and Heritage, on behalf of Commonwealth, state and territory governments.

SUSTAINABILITY INITIATIVES

Angel Place currently has a NABERS Energy Rating of 4.5 Stars, with a target of 5 Stars. There is potential to improve the NABERS Base Building Energy rating at Angel Place through the ongoing upgrades to the ventilation, cooling and heating system in the building. There are further opportunities also being investigated including lighting upgrades and optimisation of the building’s computer control system.

Some good work has already been done, including the installation of a new efficient gas hot water system. We continue to promote the centralised waste bin system that we implemented in 2014 to help improve recycling rates.

In 2015, the Angel Place Building Management Team engaged a consultant to undertake an IEQ (Indoor Environmental Quality) & Amenity assessment on the building. The study showed strong performance in this area, and if you are interested in hearing more about our study, please do not hesitate to contact the team.

WASTE

AMP Capital is implementing a national program of waste audits in line with the best practice operational waste guidelines published by the Better Buildings Partnership. In collaboration with our supplier Foresight Environmental we are improving our monitoring and reporting processes and with your help we are seeking to minimise waste to landfill.

If you would like further information about how you can work with your colleagues to improve recycling and reduce waste, please refer to the best practice guidelines here.
