A super dooper, LEED Platinum building in Melbourne that is net zero everything. The confetti on the outside serves as solar shading. As usual, I'm not jumping out of my seat in excitement, even though I am impressed that they were able to make the building nearly water neutral--which in Australia seems to be as important as making it energy efficient. There were no details in the article on Arch Record where I got this photo about the building enclosure details. However, this part of Australia has such a mild climate (other than the lack of water issue) that the thermal properties of the building are less of an issue.
