Feedback from the judges: The creation of a “Hybrid Passive/Active Environmental Control System” utilizing the entire exterior glazing systems of the building actively demonstrates how glazing design can reach beyond aesthetics and the typical association of low thermal performance to become an integral and necessary component in reducing the carbon footprint of a building.

The overall effect of the system’s natural ventilation of the building is firmly a contributor in the contemporary drive towards Green working spaces – the way of the future of energy efficient building design.
