1 Bligh
This 29 storey skyscraper, known as 1 Bligh, was completed in 2011. It can be accessed from Bligh Street, Bent Street and O'Connell Street. This office building is an ecologically sustainable development with green features such as a naturally ventilated, full height atrium, a double-skin façade with external louvres, solar panels on the roof for energy generation, air conditioning by chilled beams, rain water collection and a basement waste water recycling plant.
One good example of sustainable office space !

Nice photo, Jim. It's great to see more and more of these "green" buildings in our cities.
ReplyDeleteThe building is an ecologically sustainable development - thank goodness for that! And not before time.
ReplyDeleteI worked for years in a city block where only the precious few got a window office. The rest of us depended on artificial light :(
Great photo!
ReplyDeleteEnjoyed reading the information on its construction.
Thanks for your visit and comment on my blog post (sunset in mirror).
