Energy

The following environmental and engineering design concepts will be utilised to minimise energy consumption:

-	Radiant surfaces
-	Air movement that supplements natural wind patterns
-	Evaporating cooling mist
-	Thermal mass and PCM
-	Slab cooling and Luna Panels
-	Shading of external facades surrounding the Plaza

LAVA's sustainable design and engineering philosophy balances the 'vision of the future' with 'scientific fact and availability'.

Their aim is to provide the Abu Dhabi Energy Company with the lowest possible carbon footprint, whilst maintaining the highest level of user experience within the practical viability of affordable architecture.

Our engineering specialists have analysed each component of potential energy expenditure and investigated individual efficiencies in order to reduce the carbon footprint. Even the facade of the buildings surrounding the Plaza will incorporate long-life, loose-fit structural design to enable flexible future planning and reconfiguration opportunities.
