Sustainability
Advanced measures have been taken to optimise operational efficiencies, such as implementing a closed cavity façade system with automated blinds, controlled via a rooftop sensor that tracks brightness and the sun's position. Using an automated system instead of relying on occupiers to use manual blinds reduced the building’s cooling load by 1.2MW, yielding operational energy benefits as well as reducing the upfront embodied carbon and cost of the air conditioning plant.
Installing floor-by-floor air handling plants and CO2 sensors instead of a centralised ventilation system means airflow can be adjusted according to local demand rather than a static amount per m2, giving flexibility to occupiers and empowering building management teams.
