A good building does not just have WOW design and impressive features, even though this is what makes a space look amazing, but it is also depends on the smaller elements. Our client was a driving force in asking us to provide energy efficient measures. Higher R-Values (refers to the amount of heat transfer through a structure – the higher the R-value the better the insulation) were a given. My favorite feature, was however, the heat recovery unit for the waste water. Warm water from the waste drain heats up the water supply to flow through the water heater, hence requires less energy to heat the water to the desired temperature.

Love it!
