THE SUSTAINABILITY SUCCESS STORIES SO FAR
DII5’ s sustainable innovations include:
Mass timber construction: DII5 utilised over half a million board feet of Southern Yellow Pine for its walls, and other mass timber elements in its beams and framing
Water re-circulation system: this approach captures rainwater for use in restrooms, reducing dependence on municipal water
EV investment: there are more than 170 electric vehicle charging stations and 125 EVs already delivering from the site
Natural lighting: the delivery station has clerestory windows, allowing daylight to brighten the interior
Air source heat pumps: eliminating the need for gas utilities on-site
Biodiversity initiatives: the site includes more than 90 plant species for pollinators and 2,900 newly planted tree saplings
Bio-based materials: throughout the delivery station, there is everything from wood studs to wood fibre insulation and salvaged wood desks
