Lendlease’s commitment to sustainability extended to features such as a 20% reduction in retailer operating energy intensity, a 20% reduction in embodied carbon and the measurement of the precinct overall ecological footprint.

TSA Riley’s carbon advisory online software platform, The Footprint Calculator was customised for Lendlease to support multiple environmental assessment targets. The Lendlease design team used the platform to calculate the embodied carbon footprint of the base buildings, tenancies and public realm. The team applied it to materials scenario analysis to identify and quantify pathways to achieve the required 20% reduction target.

The retail design team used the software to assess the life cycle (materials and operational carbon) of 88 retail tenancy fitouts. This included detailed carbon design reviews, advice and defecting which achieved an average of 30% improvement. TSA Riley carried out the overall precinct ecological footprint assessment.
