4 Stan Road – a boutique office development in Sandton anchored by MDS Architecture and Brian Heineberg & Associates – recently received its plaque from the GBCSA in recognition of its 4-Star Green Star SA Office v1 Design certification, with an As-Built certification targeted. The plaque was handed over to building owners MDS Architecture and Brian Heineberg & Associates, pictured here with green building consultants Solid Green Consulting.

Sustainable building features:

• Cyclist facilities have been provided for both building occupants and visitors. 23 bicycle storage spaces, 20 lockers and 2 showers have been provided.
• The building owner has undertaken that, after practical completion all the building services will go through a fine-tuning process for a minimum of 12 months. This will include monthly monitoring, quarterly reviews and reporting, and a full re-commissioning service.
• Sub-metering of both water and energy is provided for. These are connected to an automated system which will enable easier collecting, monitoring and recording of data, as well as alerting to irregular trends in consumption.
