  • ‘Green Belt’ in the building design echoes with TI Tower’s ‘green ribbon’ concept and continues the greenery from pedestrian levels up to typical floors. Footbridge is provided to link up with TI Tower, improves the connectivity along public passage at 2/F.

  • Sun shading devices and tilted glass panels at curtain wall help to reduce building heat gain and to minimize glare to the neighborhoods.

  • Green roof helps to reduce solar heat gain. Photovoltaic panels are provided on the roof for generating renewable energy.

  • Vertical green and planting strip at pedestrian and public passage levels.

  • Semi-outdoor Communal spaces with planting strips are provided at office floors for staff usage.

  • Installation of the patented design bladeless ventilation device - Air Induction Unit (AIU) at Communal spaces, which helps to minimize energy consumption comparing to the conventional mechanical fan system. An evenly distribution of air flow results in a more comfortable and leisure environment for staff.
