Project Feature
Permasteelisa manufactured and installed 39,000 sqm of curtain wall of which 15,000 sqm are the innovative Active Wall®. The external layer is double glazed whilst the internal one is single glazed. In the cavity automatically driven venetian blinds optimize their position and orientation depending on the external environmental conditions and forced ventilation with room air extracts, in the summer, the excess heat gain. The Active Wall® is combined with a chilled ceiling technology to create ideal internal comfort, reduced energy costs and better use of perimetral space. In the winter it creates a comfortable inside temperature of the glass. Prior to project commencement, a prototype of the wall was tested thermally to verify condensation behavior, dimensions of air gaps for intake, outlet and plenums, maximum temperature in the cavity, air and water tightness, stiffness and strength
Scope of Work
39,000 sqm of curtain wall and cladding.
