Accessed online, May 7, 2 8.Ries, Robert, Bilec, Melissa, Gokhan, Nuri M., and Needy, Kim L. Aninnovative staggered façade with movable shutters and louvers adds to thevariety of the building. Environmentally sound design (ESD)features incorporatedinto the structure include under-floor air conditioning, atriums fornatural light, external blinds to track the sun, louvers for a natural airflow, rainwater tanks, and black-water recycling (Bendigo Bank, 1). In the case of theBendigo Bank Head Office located in Bendigo, Victoria, Australia, thedecision was made to go green and the end result was the completion of thefirst five-star Greenstar to be built in a regional city in Australia(Yourbuilding.org, 1). "Bendigo Bank Head Office, Bendigo." Insight Magazine, 2 7, 2. Thebuilding contains a number of innovative green designs. "Bendigo Bank Head Office Design Brief." 2 8.

Richard Hasseldine, Project Executive for the Bendigo Bank, statedthat a major goal was the introduction of black water recycling which isparticularly significant because Bendigo is located in a drought-prone areaof central Victoria which makes water conservation imperative(Yourbuilding.org, 2). Connell Wagner (2)stated that the Bendigo Bank wanted to create a building reflecting thebest environmental practices, to create a working environment that would becomfortable for staff members, and to construct a building that makes astatement while not dominating the cityscape or presenting as a traditionaloffice building.

It blends into the central city while remaining separatefrom the traditional bricks-and-mortar structures of the community. Going Green: The Bendigo Bank Head Office In building design and construction, "both green building andstandard construction techniques are considered for many new buildingprojects" (Ries, Bilec, Gokhan, and Needy, 259). Overall, the structure appears quite modern withoutbeing surreal. "Bendigo Bank Head Office, Bendigo, VIC." 2 8. The architect for the project was Gallagher Jeffs and the buildingengineering consultant was Meinhardt (1) which states that the entireproject was completed in partnership with Sustainability of Victoria aspart of the Commercial Office Building Energy Innovation Initiative. The office floors contain 13,577 squaremeters and the structure is linked to the former head office building toprovide a total of more than 16, square meters of office space. "Stage Three Begins to Take Shape." 2 8. As a community focused and environmentally aware organization, theBendigo Bank deliberately set out to incorporate as many eco-friendlyelements as possible into the structure (Yourbuilding.org, 2). Works CitedBendigo Bank. Accessed online, May 7, 2 8. "The Economic Benefits of Green Buildings: A Comprehensive Case Study." The Engineering Economist, 2 6, 51: 259-295.Yourbuilding.org. The main structure is six stories high, containing a ground floor, acar park, and four office floors. Accessed online, May 7, 2 8.Connell Wagner.
