The following is a list of our active design methods: Initiatives Creating a Cool Microclimate: We mitigate heat build-up by incorporating trees and vegetation on both the roof and at ground level, integrating water features in the ‘canyon walk,’ and utilising ‘cool air dumping’ from tenants’ air conditioning systems Promoting Thermal Mass Cooling: We harness the natural stack e ect, drawing in cool air from the surrounding environment while expelling warm air to maintain optimal temperatures Encouraging Natural Ventilation: Our designs are sensitive to prevailing wind paths, and we incorporate operable roofs to enhance airflow and maximise natural cooling Supporting Evaporative and Earth Cooling: We implement radiant and evaporative cooling techniques at ground level to reduce heat and improve comfort Minimizing Solar Gain: To reduce heat absorption, we use high-performance glass and install both natural and man-made shading devices, ensuring energy e ciency and enhanced thermal comfort 128 ANNUAL REPORT 2024
