The architect has also designed a couple of horizontal voids on the façade of the building to provide a prevalent cross breeze throughout the atrium. The voids help keep the interior temperature much below the ambient temperature during the summers. The entire mass of the proposed building is also covered with horizontal louvers that create a bio-climate on the inside so that the interior temperature of the building is regulated and a considerable amount of energy required for cooling the building is saved.
To even reduce the heat-island effect, the architect is planning to use an intelligent façade that features a solar glass glazing to prevent heat from getting into the building. Moreover, the use of solar glass will also better the efficiency of the building’s cooling system thereby saving a lot of energy.
