Lifts Section Summary Ensure that vertical transportation within any development allows for accessible transportation to all floors served, in a quick and efficient manner.
• Each system to be individual switched. • All ductwork to be plastic or metal ductwork (flexible duct not approved). • All exhaust fans to any habitable space must have non-return draught dampers. • Consideration shall be given to the location of all exhaust vents to ensure they are not located immediately adjacent to an adjoining dwelling’s private open space or openable windows. • Acoustic engineers are to be engaged to provide advice and manage any undue acoustic impacts of exhaust systems to habitable areas and private open space, as far as practicable. High Density Exhaust Systems Considerations Checklist: • Mechanical ventilation is to be installed to dwellings in High Density projects to avoid unwanted condensation build up and mould. Mechanical ventilation can be included as part of bathroom or laundry exhaust strategies. Alternatively, detailed written material is to be prepared by the project team and provided as part of building induction so residents understand the importance of building occupant behaviour in maximising passive ventilation in place of mechanical ventilation. • Where mechanical exhaust fans are provided in below ground car parking areas, they shall be fitted with air quality sensors, variable speed fans, ventilated roller doors and other controls to reduce energy consumption. • Mechanical equipment that serves the shared components of the project, such as car park exhaust fans, shall comply with the noise limits determined in accordance with the State Environment Protection Policy (Control of Noise from Commerce, Industry and Trade) No. N-1.
Lift Considerations Checklist: Lifts are to have: ○
Lift speed to be a minimum 1.6 metres per second. ○ CCTV camera. ○ Interface the lift with the Building’s security system, including required wiring within lift shaft, mount card reader on lift control panel. ○ A Telstra phone line or dedicated mobile service. The contractor (or builder) is to provide connection from the MDF panel or mobile service to lift car. ○ A Lift emergency communication system. The specification shall be a wireless phone system using PIXEL Technologies Wireless Gateway system EM4GE1S. • Lift specification is to be a preferred supplier such as Schindler, ThyssenKrupp, Kone, Otis or similar approved. Ensure no compromise is made on the quality of any of the lift components. Non-standard lifts, lift companies, loadings and any other lifts that require specialist WHS sign off will not be acceptable. Lift specification subject to approval by Housing Choices prior to ordering. • Recommended installers must be engaged to undertake the lift installation. • Proposed lifts are machine room-less with the lift machinery built into the lift shaft. • Lift redundancy is required, especially where SDA dwellings are being provided. • In response to Covid, consider limiting dwelling numbers per lift to reduce capacity on a regular basis but and allow for lower density during any required whole building egress of all occupants. • WorkSafe lift registration to be included in As-Built documentation. • All projects that include SDA dwellings as part of tenure mix must comply with below lift considerations.

Rangehoods Rangehoods Considerations Checklist:
• Rangehood exhaust system complete with axial booster fan and proprietary plastic or metal ductwork (flexible duct not approved) discharging to façade. • Recirculating rangehoods will not be accepted.
