The external areas and façade lighting is controlled via a combination of photocell and time switches in order to further reduce energy running costs .
CONCLUSION The new home of the DALRRD is informed at every point in its design by its primary purpose , which is to secure a better quality of life for all . It is at once mindful of the need to be inclusive , broadly representative , respectful and welcoming to the needs of all who the department seeks to serve , and makes a powerful symbolic statement , representing the vision and aspirations of a country and its people through its connection to the land . Far from prescriptive , however , this building ’ s architecture is designed to allow its occupants to evolve and adapt with the changing times , facilitating its endeavours and enabling the department ’ s mandate well into the future .
