Efficient water fixtures lead to water saving in a significant value. With the selection of energy-efficient mechanical-electrical systems, stratified facades and high performance glass, 42% energy saving is provided when compared to international standards. Required infrastructure and automation monitoring systems are designed in order to watch system’s energy consumption separately. Fresh air amount is set above the international standards and VOC content of the building construction chemicals that used during the construction of interior spaces, are selected to be the lowest ratio in order to increase interior living health and comfort.
