Natural ventilation and cooling strategies help the building save energy by powering down the building’s cooling system. Strategies include:

  • Operable windows provide cooling in public zones, offices, and the large open stair

  • Windows in office have manual operation so users have control over their own comfort

  • Windows in public zones are controlled by the building automation system for optimized building performance

  • Open stair cooled by building automated windows uses a natural stack effect to increase ventilation
