Underground Water Tanks from KHD Landscape Engineering

Underground Water Tanks for Sustainable and Smart Projects

KHD is a long supporter of sustainable projects and in recent years have worked with a number of Architects specifying Underground Water Tanks for interesting and innovative outcomes.

Of note was the Meadows Primary School designed by NOWArchitecture.

The school now enjoys a passive hydrothermal air conditioning where the high raking ceilings allow hot air to rise above activity spaces and exit through upper louvre windows, providing excellent thermal comfort and air quality.

Thermal buoyancy expels hot, stale air and pulls fresh air, which has been cooled by the sub-floor VersiTank water tanks (supplied by KHD), in through floor grilles.

The project won Best New School in Victoria from the Council of Education Facilities Planners International.

VersiTank is a heavy duty plastic tank that allows either sub-surface infiltration or storage tank of stormwater.
