BUILDING THE FUTURE

Southern Downs Solar Pty Ltd (SDS) is a premier property development company specialising in Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) compliant projects across commercial, industrial and residential sectors. As a leader in sustainable and affordable developments, SDS delivers NABERS 6 star-rated properties (where applicable), utilising innovative architectural and landscape design principles to create exceptional, environmentally responsible real estate.

Energy

All properties developed by SDS are equipped with a cost effective Behind-The-Meter®, Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) system that incorporates:

  • Rooftop Solar PV (where design compatible)

  • Safe (non-combustible) Sodium-Ion Battery Energy Storage System (SIBESS)

  • AI assisted grid interactive Energy Management System that optimises power importation and exportation; and

  • Rapid EV Charging infrastructure, utilising the Amp-el Energy® charging system which benefits occupants, consumers and staff (for residential, retail, commercial and industrial properties).

Water

Harvesting of rainwater is critical to all operations and the demand on existing town water infrastructure is increasing continuously.

The water management systems deployed in each SDS property seeks to sustainably provide water to the on-site consumer, whilst reducing the load on the town’s water system.

Waste

The SDS waste segregation and recycling system mitigates the need for landfilling. Each waste stream generated can be sent to recyclers that specialise in each category of waste.

Toxic waste can also be treated to render it benign.

Indoor Environment

Staff and customer well-being is at the forefront of the indoor environmental designs. Some of the architectural and biochemical features incorporated in our designs include:

  • Optimal use of natural light

  • Selection of zero emissions wall paints

  • Utilisation of zero emissions binders and materials of construction

  • Sustainable visual amenities

  • Ergonomical staff break-out rooms and work stations

  • Indoor vegetation selection

  • Sustainable Solid State Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning that requires no vapour compression refrigerants with no moving parts
