Da Vinci Business Park

The Da Vinci Business Park is a 52 week design and construct project consisting of 12 office/warehouse buildings positioned in Brisbane Airport. The Main Office, a 3 storey commercial office building, has achieved a 4 star Green Star rating from the Green Building Council of Australia for its sustainable and environmentally sound design.

Features include Green Star energy saving features and a building management control system. Quality air conditioning systems were installed to ensure consistent humidity and temperature settings during operation, allowing greater control over environmental settings and ultimately reducing energy consumption. In comparison, cheaper air-conditioning systems use more energy to achieve the same results.

The building also features strong, high performance, double glazed windows with well designed sealed facades to provide good insulation. While an investment, the windows provide a higher UV rating than traditional windows to keep the building naturally cool – placing less strain on air-conditioning systems to condition air environments. As an additional bonus, the glazed windows reduce outside noise, an important feature for a business park adjacent to the busy Brisbane Airport.

Water efficient tapware and fixtures were used throughout the kitchens and bathrooms, while the rainwater tank is used to flush toilets and irrigate gardens throughout the Da Vinci Business Park complex. In addition, the roof lets in natural light via transparent lighting strips, along with grilles and ducts installed throughout the warehouses for ventilation.

With the project team managing all aspects of the design and construction, De Luca Corporation was able to guarantee a completion date and assume all risks involved in the project, including latent conditions. The project was delivered on time and to budget as per the clients expectations, achieving a 4 star Green Rating from the Green Building Council of Australia.
