Burj Al-Taqa - Energy Tower, Dubai, United Arab Emirates | Overview
Facade

Multifunctional double-layered facade

The entire ventilation of the building is wind driven. A double-layered façade envelops the entire tower. It serves to evacuate the exhaust air of the building. Using the pressure differences that occur permanently through wind and thermal uplift it is powered entirely by natural forces.

Additionally the double-layered facade is housing in its gap the Solar Shield protecting it from being damaged through external influences. Newest vacuum glazing technology guarantees optimal thermal insulation and maximum daylighting at the same time.
