OPEN FLOOR PLAN

The narrow and open floor plan, allows for maximum and equal distribution of natural daylight, reducing the need for artificial light, saving on costs and energy.

HORIZONTAL LOUVERS

A building located in the Northern hemisphere will have its Southern facade exposed to high sun angles. To prevent these from entering the building a causing heat gain, horizontal louvers are attached to the Southern facade. In preventing solar heat gain, the cooling costs are greatly reduced, and less energy is used.

NATURAL DAYLIGHT

In the Northern hemisphere, the sun path rises in the East, moves along the Southern sky and sets in the West. Therefore, the Northern facade of a building is excluded from direct sunlight, yet still allows natural daylight to enter the building without heat gain. The Northern facade is therefore primarily glazing to maximize the natural daylight.

VERTICAL LOUVERS

The rising sun in the East as well as the setting sun in the West are low in altitude and strike the building at low sun angles. To block these low East and West sunrays, large vertical wing-like shading devices run along the East and West facades of the building. These prevent the traveling and changing sun angles of entering and heating the building thus reducing the cooling load saving on cost and energy.
