Alkimos Central
|
Alkimos Central is a DevelopmentWA masterplan project in the City of Wanneroo’s northern coastal corridor, spanning 198 hectares and accommodating approximately 2,500 dwellings and extensive commercial and retail space. Key to its design is the transit-oriented Alkimos Train and Bus Station which forms part of the METRONET Yanchep Rail Extension.
With an aspiration to achieve net zero, the project team are using Lifecycle Assessment (LCA) to inform low carbon design decisions and investigating how best to integrate local solar energy generation and large-scale battery storage.
Research activities will explore the transferability of Distributed and Consumer-oriented Energy System (DES/CES) models across other development types with the aim of facilitating improved utilisation of locally generated and stored energy by multiple end-users under various land titles.
