- Low-VOC (Volatile Organic Compound) construction materials, including paints, primers, adhesives, and sealants, were selected to comply with international health and safety limits.
- Water-efficient fixtures and gray water reuse in reservoirs have resulted in over 45% water efficiency.
- Energy-efficient façade systems were selected to comply with sustainability and efficiency standards.
- Free cooling systems enable optimal comfort levels during transitional seasons while minimizing energy consumption.
- The office floors rely on 100% fresh-air HVAC systems for ventilation.
- All mechanical and electrical systems within the complex are monitored and controlled via a central automation system, with performance values continuously tracked and recorded.
- To reduce natural resource consumption, approximately 40% recycled and locally sourced materials were utilized in the project.
- During construction, approximately 75% of total waste was segregated for recycling and reuse.
