Vodacom aims to be an industry leader by implementing sustainable fitout strategies within a retail space, something that is not common. The site is situated within a mall with a good transport network and in close proximity to highways, and because it is situated within a mall, it has access to a number of amenities for the staff to access. Due to the nature of a retail space within a mall, the space has no external façade and therefore has no daylight nor does it have access to external views, but the fitout has ensured a well-designed and comfortable space for occupants.

Sustainable building features include

• 100% of lighting used within the building is LED the most efficient option.
• Sub-metering of major water and energy-consuming systems has been installed. Gathering information is key to understanding and managing building systems and assessing opportunities for water and energy savings.
• Live metering has been provided.
• Sanitary fittings have been selected to ensure water consumption is minimized.
• Energy Efficient Equipment has been selected.
• Insulation all have an ozone depleting potential of zero.
• A sufficiently sized waste recycling storage area has been provided ensuring operational waste sent to landfills can be minimized.
