ENERGY-SAVING BLADELESS FANS TO REDUCE NEED FOR AIR-CONDITIONING

We have installed an innovative bladeless ceiling fans to create natural airflow circulation. Through improved circulation we can reduce our air conditioning energy consumption by up to 38%. The ultra-quiet bladeless fans give the perception of cooler temperature by carrying away more heat from the body, creating a cooler sensation. Click here on more details about the manufacturer.

ENERGY SAVING SMART WINDOWS TO REDUCE DIRECT SOLAR HEAT GAIN

With a press of a button our smart windows can turn milk opaque, blocking direct sunlight coming into the conference room and reduces how much air conditioning we need to keep the room comfortable for occupants. This allows us to remove window blinds and keep the windows open and clear except only when necessary. Click here for more information about the manufacturer.

CO2 ABSORBING AND ANTI-MICROBIAL WALL PAINTS

We have applied CO2-absorbing paints to our office’s walls. This type of paint contains special additives that are designed to absorb CO2 from the air as it dries, trapping it and removing it from the atmosphere. The colored accent walls use an anti-microbial paint that protect from bacteria and viruses and is ideal for communal spaces. Click here for more information about the manufacturer.

IMPROVED WELLNESS WITH A CIRCADIAN LIGHTING SYSTEM THAT MIRRORS NATURAL SUNLIGHT

The human circadian rhythm is driven by the colour temperature and intensity of sunlight throughout the day. Our office has installed a smart circadian lighting system that mimics this cycle that can increase focus and personal health. The system is also equipped with sensors to allow customized dimming which can help with both occupant comfort and energy saving. Click here for information about the manufacturer.

TEMPERATURE REGULATING WALL PAINT

External walls exposed to direct sunshine tend to warm during the day and radiate heat into the office space. This office is testing a new thermal insulating paint applied to regulate the temperature of these internal spaces. Through compounded ceramic layers, the radiant temperature of the external wall is kept similar to the air temperature of the internal space, making it more comfortable for the occupants seated near warm / cold walls during peak summer / winter days. There are also added functionality of soundproofing, releasing negative ions, and longevity of the product. Click here for the manufacturer information.
