World Class Innovation in Energy Efficiency
It has been described as “a world first”, “a rising icon in Melbourne” and said
to be “propelling Melbourne onto the centre stage for international events”. But
the new Melbourne Convention Centre (MCC) as part of the Melbourne Convention
and Exhibition Centre (MCEC) has much more going for it than the function
facilities it offers its guests.
In addition to 66,000m2 of convention space, a 5000-seat plenary hall, a world
class banquet hall and 32 meeting rooms, this innovative development boasts
technical advancements and environmentally conscious facilities that make it
exceptionally equipped to serve Melburnians and visitors long into the future.
The Design and Construction team set themselves a huge challenge; to produce
the world’s first 6-Star Green Star convention centre. Providing a world-class
facility and bringing an internationally enviable event space to the riverfront
promenade between Southbank and Docklands.
What does 6 Star Green Star mean?
Green Star is a comprehensive, national, voluntary environmental rating
system developed by the Green Building Council of Australia. It evaluates the
environmental impact, design, construction and functionality of a building.
Six stars is the highest rating a building can achieve. 11 per cent of Australia’s
CBD commercial office buildings are now Green Star certified.
Green Star was developed for the property industry in order to:
Establish a common language;
Set a standard of measurement for green buildings;
Promote integrated, whole-building design;
Recognise environmental leadership;
Identify building life-cycle impacts; and
Raise awareness of green building benefits.
Green star covers nine categories that are divided into credits; points are awarded
for actions that demonstrate that the project has met the overall objectives of green
star. Once all claimed credits in each category are assessed, a percentage score is
calculated and Green Star environmental weighting factors are then applied.
The nine categories are Management, Indoor Environment Quality, Energy,
Transport, Water, Materials, Land Use & Ecology, Emissions and Innovation
