Energy – what has your project done to minimise overall energy usage?
The installation of UV resistant window coverings minimises the impact of external solar light and promotes filtered light. Sheer and blackout blinds are provided in all apartments to control thermal variability and avoid the excessive use of heating and cooling systems. The kitchen was strategically located away from direct light for optimal energy performance, filtered views and overall indoor environmental quality.
