Technical information

Sustainability was achieved through some design ideas and some architectural elements a core for making natural ventilation. Using sun louvers to reduce direct sunlight and glare inside the building and allow only proper lighting and reduce overheating inside the building. Using trees in the south direction to purify the air and provide shading. Making corridors between buildings to work as air traps and create an air stream. Providing appropriate shading for the corridors to reduce the air temperature.
