Berwick dental practice wins environmental award

Congratulations to the team at Beaconsfield Dental, who recently won this year’s Casey Cardinia Environmental Sustainability Award.

Principal Dr Robert Panjkov had the Berwick building designed to make it environmentally friendly and sustainable, resulting in a number of environmental features. 

They include 60 solar panels, capable of generating up to 100 kWh a day. The building has double glazing, full insulation, solar hot water, LED lighting, and water tanks holding 10,000 litres for the garden and toilet flush. With five dentists on staff, the practice also has ISO11143 compliant amalgam separators.

The garden has more than 500 indigenous plants – including Victoria’s floral emblem, pink heath - to complement the adjacent Akoonah Park.
