PROJECT SUMMARY:
Burwood Brickworks was the first of its kind as a retail centre that was part of the
Living Building Challenge — the world’s most rigorous performance standard for building.
ProGrind installed our proprietary Mechanical Polished Concrete system which resulted in only a 3% VOC content from start to finish in the process. This is a 50% reduction on what is permissible for the products allowable for the type of finish under this code.
The finished floor helped Burwood Brickworks achieve a 6 Star Green Star Design and As-Built rating as well as full certification (7 Petals) under the Living Building Challenge (LBC) accreditation — the first retail development in the world to achieve this internationally recognized certification — meeting the requirements of net zero energy, waste, and water, over a minimum of 12 months of continuous occupancy.
