I just read about Australia's greenest building, on Inhabit.
Check it out: http://www.melbourne.vic.gov.au/info.cfm?top=171&pg=1941
Bike spaces: 80
Showers for cyclists: 9
Car spaces: 20 plus one disabled space. The car park can be converted to office space or other uses.
Payback period
It is estimated that in 10 years time the sustainability features will have paid for themselves. Further benefits that could reduce this figure include:
* healthier staff – less time lost to colds, flu and other illnesses;
* increased workplace effectiveness;
* less costs for public domain and infrastructure; and
* the value of building as a guiding light in sustainable building.
fantastic!
