In addition to these form-giving passive strategies, the building also features many passive strategies that are less obvious to the casual observer, such as the use of high-thermal-mass exterior glass cladding to reduce heat gain while keeping transparency to preserve views. Under the building, earth ducts were also used to reduce the building temperature through contact with the almost constant temperature of the earth below. The ducts also act as underground pedestrian passages that connect the building with the proposed mass transit system. Like local traditional architecture and except for exterior curtain walls, the buildings walls are to have a heavy construction of masonry with a 30% glazing ratio to achieve a high thermal mass and reduce the indoor heat gain.
