  1. The building form allows for natural ventilation and sunlight through the entrances and atrium spaces. The stack effect is used to improve the thermal comfort without the use of an HVAC system. Stack effect is the movement of air into and out of a building driven by buoyancy, effective in semi-open areas. The stack effect is carried out through the light well located at the center of the building. Rainwater is collected through the facade and roof of the building and the grey water is reused for irrigation and flushing of bathrooms. To reduce the demand for potable water, the recycling of grey water and rainwater harvesting can be used for non-potable purposes.
