WINDSOR SUBSTATION
Building Certification:
Living Building Challenge Petal Certification
2019 - 2023
Windsor Substation is an electrical substation located in Hawke's Bay and is the first landscape
& infrastructure typology in the world to achieve Living Building Challenge vs4.0 Petal Certification. The team dubbed this 53 sqm project 'a small building with a big heart,' reflecting the potential of this project to inspire local community and the wider electrical distribution industry.
As Sustainability and LBC Consultant to Unison Networks, TLC was responsible for all sustainable outcomes. A rainwater harvesting system supplies all of the building's water, and net positive energy was achieved through a photovoltaic system.
In addition, the modular CLT design uses red-list free and salvaged materials. LCA modelling
showed a 208% embodied carbon reduction compared to reference building.
