April 20, 2011 Category: Education, Public Buildings

The Swinburne University designed as a practical and affordable low energy facility designed by H2o Architects is located in Melbourne, Australia. The operation of the project aims to produce a 25% reduction of energy consumption in relation to comparable facilities and will be monitored for performance over the life of the building.

Low energy escalators and no energy open stairs are used as the primary vertical transportation process. Low energy consumption is also assisted by sensible approaches to high volume usage occupant travel paths, such as escalators, balconies and enclosed stairs.
