Together with Tuwharetoa Health Charitable Trust and Maru Energy Trust, we are installing solar panels and new hot water cylinders in houses at Tūrangi.

The pioneering project will see excess solar generated energy, heat hot water cylinders in recipient households. With hot water heating accounting for around 30% of household electricity costs, pilot households are set to benefit from significant cost savings while helping to support renewable energy targets.

Quay Quarter Tower is nominated for 2 WAF Awards!
QQT will compete in the category 'Completed Buildings – Office', and in ‘The Engineering Prize’, which is one of the special prize categories this year at the World Architecture Festival in Lisbon.

Quay Quarter Tower sets a new global benchmark in high performance design and innovation. Designed as a “vertical village”, the tower takes the ambience and social character of the street and translates it into a vertical community.

Most notably, in a world-first, around two-thirds of the building’s original core has been retained through the construction process, conserving around 12,000 tons of embodied carbon.

The construction is also world-first: The contractors Multiplex demolished and reconstructed one side of the tower, whilst simultaneously retaining and refurbishing the other side.

QQT is engineered to perform, utilising the latest innovations in building technology and advancing the latest thinking in workplace architecture and design. The large floorplates of approximately 2,000sqm provide a high degree of efficient, contiguous workspace, support a diversity in the type and character of spaces and allow a broad range of experiences to be created.

Quay Quarter is designed by 3XN and developed in partnership with BVN Architecture.

The Carbon neutral & CO2 meter app is designed to encourage people to decarbonise by adopting an active lifestyle, for example, walking and cycling. By doing so, a cloud algorithm will activate the decarbonization process that subtracts individual carbon footprint. An active lifestyle improves users’ well-being while fighting global warming.

To download the Carbon Neutral & CO2 Meter app, go to the App Store or Play Store and download it for free.

Every institution, big or small, emits greenhouse gases as part of their operation. But in order to address the climate crisis, it is important to reduce and eliminate these emissions.

Following our commitment to achieve net zero operations by 2030, AKU has developed an Environment and Decarbonization Plan that identifies more than 100 measures to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in line with science.

Transport has the highest reliance on fossil fuels of any sector and accounts for about 21% of the world’s total CO2 emissions, according to the International Energy Agency.

Scientists have warned us that if global heating exceeds the 1.5℃ threshold, the Earth would face more irreversible damage.

To stop the climate crisis from getting worse, automakers like must towards zero-emission vehicles, cut carbon emissions across the supply chain, reuse and recycle battery minerals, and protect workers’ rights amid the transition.
