8. Landscaping and Lighting
• The landscaping has been adequately designed- trees have
been planted on the northern side of the building to provide a
buffer against cold winds.
• Furthermore, each suite comes attached with unique solar
passive features known as ‘sun-spaces’.
• These enhance heat gain by day and emit it by night, when
it is required.

9. Renewable energy systems
• Renewable energy systems in the form of photovoltaic solar panels
have been integrated into the roof of the utility building and
conference hall to meet a portion of the electrical requirements.
• An effective solar water heating system is in place to meet the hot
water requirements of the building’s inhabitants.
• In the absence of sufficient sunlight, battery banks provide a power
back-up of three days.
• Fiberglass panels in the ceilings and walls act as insulators,
preserving heat and improving acoustics.
