Horizon Power Offices & Depot, Esperance WA

Description:

Light industrial facility and commercial offices. Construction complete.

Location:

Esperance, WA

Client:

Utilities company, Horizon Power

Key Stakeholders:

Esperance community, Shire of Esperance, local businesses

Services:

Full architectural services from feasibility to contract administration

Problem:

The client project team wanted to add sustainability measures to the building, without the budget to do so.

Solution:

Formworks used a life-of-building costings approach to build a business case for $800,000 of additional funding for the sustainability measures, which the client’s project team then successfully took to their board. As a result, the depot will now have wind turbines, PV cells, stormwater harvesting, rain water collection and reuse, and other energy saving items.
