The Nishi Building is thoughtfully designed with sustainability in mind and holds an energy efficiency rating of 8. Its solar-passive design, natural cross-ventilation, and thermal mass insulation work together to keep the apartment cool throughout summer without relying on artificial air conditioning. During winter, the apartment naturally retains warmth, meaning heating is only required on particularly chilly Canberra nights.
