Innovative Sustainability Initiatives at Our New Facility
At Decor Systems, sustainability is not just a commitment but a core value. Our new facility exemplifies this through innovative measures designed to minimise our environmental footprint while enhancing efficiency and employee well-being. Here are the key features of our sustainable design:
1. Harnessing Solar Power: 10x 33kW Solar System
Our facility is powered by a robust 10x 33kW solar system, with strategically placed units, including two 33kW systems dedicated to Warehouse 3. This renewable energy initiative significantly reduces reliance on traditional power sources, contributing to a greener environment.
2. Responsible Water Management: Stormwater Harvesting and Reuse
We have embraced water sustainability by implementing a stormwater harvesting and reuse system. This innovation not only conserves water but repurposes it for toilet flushing and irrigation, showcasing our commitment to responsible water management practices.
3. Energy-Efficient Daylighting: 10% Translucent Roof Sheeting
Our 10% translucent roof sheeting optimises natural daylight, minimising the need for artificial lighting during the day. This feature not only lowers energy consumption but also enhances the comfort of our workspaces.
4. Smart Energy Solutions: LED Lighting with Intelligent Controls
Our LED lighting system combines energy efficiency with advanced technology. Featuring individual daylight harvest and motion detection capabilities, this smart system ensures optimal illumination while minimising unnecessary energy use.
5. Sustainable Construction: Conscious Material Choices
We prioritise sustainability in every aspect of construction. By incorporating recycled timber treads, recycled steel, low VOC paints, and concrete footings, our material choices reflect a deep commitment to reducing our environmental footprint.
6. Eco-Friendly Landscaping: Significant Trees and Green Design
Our landscaping includes significant tree coverage to combat the heat island effect and create a cooler, more environmentally friendly outdoor environment. This thoughtful design not only supports biodiversity but also enhances aesthetics.
7. Acoustic Comfort: Noise Reduction Measures
To foster a tranquil work environment, we have invested in acoustic insulation and laminated glass to reduce noise in high-activity areas. These measures create a more focused and comfortable workspace for our team.
8. Employee Well-Being: Glare and Heat Gain Prevention
Comfort is at the forefront of our design. Strategic placement of blinds and shading devices reduces glare and prevents heat gain, ensuring a visually friendly and thermally comfortable office environment.
Why Sustainability Matters to Us
Our approach to sustainability is about more than reducing our environmental impact; it’s about creating spaces that promote health, efficiency, and innovation. These initiatives demonstrate our dedication to building a better future for both our business and the planet.
