the building allows for a more temperature
controllable environment. Low emissivity glass
slows down the ingress of solar radiation but
allows for optimal visual permeability. Choice of
colours either reflects the sun or absorbs the
sun depending on the desired internal climate.
Use of natural lighting contributes to low energy
consumption. Land parcel 9’s industrial estate
also has access to immediate public transport and
retail/commercial facilities which reduces overall
energy consumption.

routes and close proximity Waterfall’s retail and
