LIGHTING/ELECTRICAL HIGHLIGHTS
Daylighting
Analyzes were completed in radiance using DIVA for Rhino. These studies allowed for further development and impact on architecture and enclosure. Glare studies were also performed to ensure the best environment for the occupants. Shading was applied to facades that hindered occupant comfort and programed to be controlled in conjunction with electric lighting in the space.
Electrical Systems
Double ended substation was used to provide the system with 100% redundancy. Fuel cells, part of the tri-generation system, were used to focus on reducing source energy and reduction in reliance on the electric grid. Bus ducts were implemented to provide the office tenants with maximum flexibility. The electrical system, working with other disciplines, addresses the high-end financial client’s needs through redundancy and flexibility.
