Clerestory Windows

Operable clerestory windows at the atrium roof provide abundant daylight and natural ventilation. This simple passive design reduces reliance on artificial lighting and air conditioning, supporting the building’s net positive energy performance.

Ceiling Fans

The building has 63 ceiling fans for comfort and circulation, including four high-volume, low-velocity fans in the atrium and auditorium. Smaller fans in other areas feature motion sensors for automatic shut-off, improving energy efficiency.
