 5 Eco-Friendly smart
Features at Bloomberg’s

Integrated Petal-design Ceiling

Their innovative ceiling panels

feature 2.5 million polished
aluminum “petals” that save energy
by improving the efficiency of
heating, cooling and lighting
functions. Incorporating  0.5 million
LED lights, the ceiling  uses 40%
less energy than a typical
fluorescent office lighting system.
Its unique petal design also helps
manage acoustics and airflow
 Natural Ventilation

When the outside air temperature

is suitable, we can turn off our
mechanical ventilation system,
open the custom bronze blades
shading the building’s interiors and
cool the building with naturally
flowing air. This significantly
reduces energy consumption.
Usage of CFC free refrigerant in
HVAC system It cut off carbon .
 Smart Airflow
When the building is in natural
ventilation mode, is drawn up through
the building’s six-storey ramp and out
through vents in the roof. Sensors also
allow us to adjust indoor airflow in
response to how many people are in
the building, which will save 600-750
MWh of power per year
Which is a key automation feature in
this office building which allows natural
air when the outdoor airflow is good
when it is very cold it will automatically
switch in to heating by HVAC

 Water
Conservation
The building is 70% more water-efficient
than a typical office building. And
smartly controlled by an automatic turn
off taps automatically when user is not
there for 2 min by the use of motion
sensor .An on-site water treatment plant
allows us to collect and reuse rainwater
from the roof, as well as “grey water”
from sinks, saving 25 million liters of
water a year. Recycled water feeds our
airline-style vacuum-flush toilets, which
use net zero mains water.
 Water Conservation
According to Bloomberg’s project director Kathryn Mallon, its approach to water
conservation is as follows:
1. Use of water efficient fixtures, most notably, our vacuum flush toilets that
use approximately 20 per cent of the water of a standard water efficient
toilet (0.8 L/flush vs 5.0 L/flush).
2. Capture, treatment and reuse of our grey water systems, most notably, our
cooling tower bleed-off flows to serve the vacuum toilet system. The recycle
of cooling tower water earned the project its second BREEAM Innovation
point.
3. Capture and treatment of rainwater from the roof. This rainwater would
otherwise be discharged to the CSO system. Even more importantly, this
water is captured during rain events when the system is most vulnerable to
sewer surcharges.
 Improves Employee
Retention
smart office solution boosts a positive
work culture promoting harmony
among the employees. It connects
every individual as a team with a better
flow of communication, leading to
lower employee retention with
advanced technology, you can create
simplified work schedules for
employees. It comes up with easy
sharing of documents, files, and others
among the employees. It makes the
entire process of work management
easier.
 Charging Threshold

Solar Integration
The office is equipped with solar and your vehicle is
plugged in and charging while the sun is shining,
Powerwall will continue to share any surplus solar with
your vehicle after Powerwall discharges to your set
energy threshold. Sharing surplus solar helps you
maximize the value of your solar installation, even
during a power outage.
Powerwall’s stored energy will remain at your set
threshold as long as there is surplus solar available.
Powerwall will automatically stop charging your vehicle
 Green ‘Living
Wall’
The high-ceiling pantry is
a great space for
meetings with colleagues
and clients. It overlooks
St. Paul’s Cathedral and is
flooded with natural light
from the atrium above —
making it a perfect space
for our “living wall.”
