Daylighting
Thorough light modeling was needed to ensure adequate lighting levels for workers in the shop
Daylighting
95% of natural light during the day comes from skylights
Daylighting
Natural light during the day augments electric lighting
Natural Ventilation
No Need For Mechanical Ventilation
Natural Ventilation
From the lower louvers on the windward side to the louvers under the ceiling on the leeward side air circulates naturally
Natural Ventilation
On this warm night large roll-up steel mesh doors let the air in while maintaining security
Energy Savings: exhaust air Heat Recovery Units
Fuel Cell System
Designed to Generate up to 200 KW Power
Corona Fuel Cell uses natural gas (methane, CH4), which reacts with steam to produce hydrogen.
Excess heat resulting from electrochemical reactions is captured and utilized for domestic hot water.
