Thanks for tuning in for the sixth episode of AIRAH on Air. This time we’re taking a trip to Sydney’s CBD to visit Investa’s Barrack Place – the first Australian building to earn a WELL Core & Shell Precertification at the Gold level from the International WELL Building Institute.

Barrack Place is the new Sydney headquarters of Arup, an independent firm of designers, planners, engineers, consultants and technical specialists. Arup is not only the anchor tenant, it also designed the mechanical services on the project.

Host Mark Spencer finds out more about that experience and how it opened the way for an innovative approach to the building’s heating and cooling.

Guests:

• Andrew Pettifer, Arup’s principal NSW region leader

• Jack Noonan, International WELL Building Institute’s vice president, Australia and New Zealand

Interested in learning more about WELL certifications? Stay tuned – we’ll have more from Noonan on this new building standard, what it means for the built environment and its impact on AIRAH members.

For a more in-depth look into Barrack Place, be sure to read Sean McGowan’s cover story in the March 2019 issue of Ecolibrium, AIRAH’s industry journal: www.airah.org.au/EcoLibrium/2019/…_March_2019.aspx
