This project developed sustainability guidelines and standards for a major Australian bank’s international and local office and retail fitouts.

This project involved the development of general standards and criteria for achieving sustainability outcomes in the bank’s new commercial office fit-outs for their local and overseas operations. A comprehensive and technical review of the environmental principles, effective practices and concepts featured in the rating systems – Green Star and NABERS (Australia), LEED (US), BREEAM (UK) and BCA Green Mark (Singapore) was undertaken to define the attributes of a sustainable commercial workplace fit-out and provide definitive criteria for evaluation of its performance from a ‘tenant space’ perspective.
