40 Albert Road, a refurbished 1980s building, was the first building in Australia to achieve a 6-Star Green Star rating and 5 Star NABERS water rating. Since re-opening in 2006 numerous awards have been won. Fifteen months after the refurbishment, Leena Thomas and Monica Vandenberg provide an in-depth review of the design process, building design, environmental performance and building occupants' experience.
