The energy-saving and emission reduction is an endless topic in environmental protection, and it is also the most significant characteristic for steel structure to be different from the other types of buildings. Nowadays, the Chifley Square in Sydney by Jinggong Steel International was named one of the greenest buildings in Sydney; it has achieved a 6 star Green Star office design V2 certified rating (‘Green Star” is the trustable mark for Australians to value the green sustainable buildings design and construction quality).

The Chifley Square located in the Central Business District in Sydney, which is made up of two stacked modules of twelve and nine floors with criss-crossing red braces on its sides and elevated terrace cutting through its middle, which extends to the exterior of the building. Red steel beams brace the walls on the sides of the tower, plus larger members offer support where there are gaps in the floor plates. The exterior structure design concept makes the appearance eye-catching, and the node design is the biggest bright spot, to support the stability and makes the appearance very significant and elegant.

 According to the specific climate in Australia, the building adopts gas cogeneration system, power system, sewage treatment and water recycling system, through the sewage and storm water treatment on the recovery to give the building occupants living water. And the louver sun system can alleviate the internal cooling or heating system pressure through tilting the leaves or away. Chifley is extremely low level of car parking will also contribute to its green footprint; there are barely 32 parking spaces available for the tower, although 130 bicycle bays have been included in the design to promote this lifestyle change. The building is a paragon of the Australian green and intelligent steel structure building.

The project was completed on Mar 27th, 2013. This is according to the Australian AS specifications. And Jinggong steel international insists on the idea of “innovative and specialized technology, excellent quality, customer satisfaction, social contribution”, expanding the Australian steel structure market through this excellent construction quality. Meanwhile, Jinggong has signed another new Australian construction supply contract, wined the old customer. We believe that the Australian steel structure market door is gradually opening for Jinggong through the concerted efforts by Jinggong people and the commercial profits and economic benefits the project brings to Australia, and Jinggong will build more sustainable ecological buildings to provide people better green space.
