Building Design


    • Orientation
    • The longer axis of the building is oriented on the East-West axis in order to reduce solar heat gain
    • Window
    • Split window with daylight panel (upper glass) and vision panel (lower glass)
    • Wall
    • Light shelves in wood panels topped with white reflectors to protect occupants from direct light
    • Roof
    • Light colored ceilings reflect light and reduce the contrast in brightness
    • WWR
    • Less than 38%
    • Daylighting
    • 78.54% of living areas / Daylight hour energy savings: 158 kWh

    • Artificial Lighting System
    • Reduced with light shelves, floor planes and reduced WWR

    • Active Cooling System
    • Conventional Cooling/ Effeciency: 0.6 KW/TR Radiant Cooling / Effeciency: 0.45 KW/TR Energy consumption for Conventional Cooling: 440000 units/ Radiant Cooling: 269000 units Energy Index for Conventional Cooling: 38.7 kWH/sqm, Radiant Cooling: 25.7 kWH/sqm Radiant Cooling consumes 30% less energy than conventional cooling
