Client: National Bonds
Scale: B3 + G + 26 Floors Premium Commercial
Services: Energy Modelling, Core & Shell Sustainability Strategy
The Challenge: The Tenant Risk Factor
For high-rise, fully glazed commercial assets, base-building efficiency is only half the equation. The primary risk to the asset’s long-term energy performance — and therefore its ESG positioning and yield — is the lack of control over future tenant fit-outs and operations.
The Governance Solution: Core & Shell Resilience
Elevation developed a core and shell governance strategy that accounted for future tenant provisions. Through detailed whole-building energy modelling, we optimised the façade performance and HVAC efficiency to create a highly resilient base building. We then established a clear compliance framework that future tenants must adhere to, protecting the asset’s overall efficiency.
The Outcome: Market Competitiveness
The tower achieved improved predicted energy performance against baseline standards and secured its targeted certification. More importantly, the developer was equipped with a robust framework to govern tenant operations, strengthening the building’s long-term market competitiveness and protecting its yield.
