NEDBANK HEAD OFFICE, SANDTON, SOUTH AFRICA
Phase two of the Nedbank Head Offi ce in Sandton, South Africa provides new offi ce accommodation for 3,000 employees. The development includes retail spaces on the ground fl oor, presenting an active edge to the public realm, and seven levels of offi ce space above.
Construction began in April 2008 and reached practical completion at the end of April 2010. An initial sustainability review of the design was carried out in April 2007 by a consortium consisting of WSP’s Green by Design, PJC Carew Consulting and the Council for Scientifi c and Industrial Research. This study reviewed the design
and suggested initiatives to improve the sustainability performance of the building. The recommendations were categorised and prioritised using the Shades of Green© approach which classifi es initiatives into three levels of sustainability – namely, good practice, best practice and cutting edge. From early 2008, Nedbank contracted the services of WSP Green by Design to assist them in implementing environmental initiatives to achieve a Green Star rating. Part of this service included the provision of a Green Star South Africa accredited professional team to advise on the adoption of environmental initiatives from the Green Star SA Offi ce v1 rating tool from design to practical completion. The advice covered the following aspects: management, indoor environmental quality, transport, water, materials, emissions and innovation.
Nedbank Phase II is the fi rst project in South Africa to achieve:
4-star Green Star SA - Offi ce Design rating v1, achieved October 2009
4-star Green Star SA - Offi ce As-Built rating v1, achieved September 2010.
