A key design feature is an energy saving mixed mode ventilation strategy which when external conditions are acceptable will allow the façade mounted louvres to open and allow fresh air enter the space. Electrically, advanced lighting control and luminaries have been selected to provide the optimum low energy offering lighting required. Electrical energy back-up systems are also provided as well as all the usually required electrical mechanical systems for a highly serviced and secure office environment”, said Mr. Barry Hennessy, Business Development Director at Winthrop.
