 Tilting Façade results in smaller

building footprint which allows
for more area for landscape.

 Surrounding landscape reduce

Atrium Daylight Design

The atrium has been carefully designed optimize daylight utilization for each floor employing the
combination of the following three strategies:
1. Automated blind with six different configuration to maintain the appropriate daylighting levels at all
times. The blinds with 30% light transmittance are adjusted every 15 minutes and follow a three
different control strategies for morning, mid-day and evening
2. The windows size becomes larger deeper into the atrium to cater for lower daylight levels
3. A band of Tannenbaum reflector panels are applied to 4th and 5th floor to deflect daylight across the
atrium to 1st and 2nd floor where daylight levels are the lowest. The ‘christmas tree’ profile reflectors
have an inclination of 10° and reflect about 85% of the light in semi-diffuse manner, hence, avoiding
visual glare issues for the building occupants.

Renewable Energy – Solar PV

System Information:

•Thin-film modules
• 4 Identical areas
• Total area displays: 834 m2 (1112
panels)
•Installed power: 71.4 kWp
•Measured yield: 1425 kWh/kWp
•Annual production: 102 MWh
• 9.5% of Energy Consumption
• The electricity generated by the PV
System transmit to grid TNB by
measured net-metering
Finding: Thin film solar PV is 20-40% more efficient per kWp than normal PV
(crystalline) because of higher ability to harvest diffuse light (more than 50%Cross
Typical of
solar radiation in Malaysia is diffuse) and because the efficiency drop is small
