Event spaces for the sustainably minded
With 70%* of Australian companies actively seeking ways to enhance their sustainability efforts and credentials, organisations are turning to like-minded businesses, suppliers and venues that align with their Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) objectives.
Setting the standard for event spaces
Under the sculpturesque red roof inspired by the local grevilleas, it’s more than native flora that provides PHIVE venues with its celebrated sustainability credentials.
PHIVE’s 21st-century smart features make it the premier sustainable choice for events and meetings of all kinds. Awarded a 6-Star Green Star rating from the Green Building Council of Australia, PHIVE has a variety of eco-friendly spaces for hire to businesses and event organisers who have sustainability and corporate social responsibility outcomes in mind.
Cutting-edge weather adaptation features
With design principles focused on environmental performance, PHIVE is equipped with a host of innovative features that enable its impressive net-zero carbon performance.
City of Parramatta Lord Mayor Cr Martin Zaiter said the state-of-the-art facility is linked to the Bureau of Meteorology and includes a ventilation system that responds to weather conditions in real time.
“PHIVE is the cultural and civic heart of our City, it has been internationally recognised for its sustainable design and includes smart features,” Cr Zaiter said.
“The giant louvres detect heat, wind and humidity and automatically open to fill the building with fresh air and assist in increasing the natural light. “I’m incredibly proud to share our iconic cultural and civic hub with our community and businesses.
Commitment to resource management
PHIVE’s striking roof is a series of stacked, fragmented crystalline blocks designed to follow the sun and provide natural light throughout.
Also incorporated in the building's state-of-the-art design are solar panels, sensor automated lighting, gearless lifts, and a rainwater capture system for reuse throughout the building.
