3. Geyser Building

The Geyser building is a first new 6 green star building for Auckland designed by Pattersons Architects.  Sustainable features include rainwater harvesting for toilet flushing and irrigation, daylighting to reduce artificial lighting costs, use of fresh air instead of office recycled air and overall reduced energy costs.  Click here for more information from the NZGBC.  Also, here is a link to see the architects plans for the building which incorporate the innovative passive fresh air circulation design.
