A brief description of the on-site renewable electricity generating facilities/devices:
Robina Campus has a total of 99kW solar panels generating electricity for the building. One impressive sustainability innovation that was achieved included fast-tracking the installation of solar panels on the campus roof and initiating an early connection to the national grid, prior to the fit-out commencing. The solar power system provided the power for all suppliers delivering services as part of the fit-out of the building and enabled the entire fit-out to be completed using solar renewable energy. Future budgets and planning include additional solar panels to be installed.
