159 CORONATION DRIVE

159 Coronation Drive is a four storey commercial office building with approximately 3,500m² floor area which was purchased by Wallum Partners, with the intent to refurbish, modernize and re-position the property. The works included foyer and toilet amenities refurbishments, new end-of-trip facility, air-conditioning replacements with efficient EC fans and inverter compressors, LED lighting upgrades, self-dimming smart controls to lighting in common areas, BMS upgrade, CO monitoring for carpark ventilation and solar panels on the roof.

The building started out with a 3.0 Star NABERS base building energy rating and since the completion of works it has achieved a 5.0 Star NABERS base building energy rating which is a testament to Wallum Partners’ close attention to detail, technical understanding and their passion for the building. It is also a good example of how an older building requiring end of life replacements can be converted into an efficient and sustainable building with the right approach.

Interior Engineering is proud to have been involved in the project from start to finish, beginning with the due diligence inspection pre-purchase through to engineering support for the various upgrades and refurbishment including the NABERS advice and rating, working closely with Wallum Partners and the building services contractors.
