EXTERNAL FACADE - Laminated and insulated three air filled layer glass. Low E coating. - Aluminum façade and roof panels. Lighter than steel to reduce structural loads, high recycle rates and easy process to transform, optimal life cycle. - Powder coating shine finishing without solvents, zero VOC emissions. Higher protection, increased reflection, reduce of absorption. INTERNAL FINISHES - Sustainable polished concrete floor. Natural look, improved insulation, reduces innecessary extra finishings on top of slab. - acoustic cork panels on walls for noise and humidity control SUSTAINABLE APPROACH - Aerodinamic design, reducing lateral wind pressure and using a curved roof with series of vaults to optimize gravity loads naturally, and increase span distance. - Centralised Building Management System (BMS). To adapt conditions according to realtime climatological and comfort values. - Natural light detectors and regulating sensors. - System Variable Air Volume (VAV). Dynamic adjustment of air conditioning temperatures by zone and demand specific. - Grey water collection and reuse. Reduction of demand from external water supply. - Trigeneration plant units (CHP) for optimal energy production. Reduce of demand from the grid.
