Ventilation and Openings

• Openings in southwest, presence of atrium and correspondingly placed openings on the opposite walls facilitate
movement of wind throughout the day.

• All the areas of the building are 100% naturally ventilated. There are two courtyards designed specially to induce

natural ventilation into rooms and all other spaces.

• The central triple height courtyard not only connects all floors visually, but also enables hot air accumulated inside the
building, during the day, to vent out. Since the hot air has option to get vented out, fresh air gets induced in from
the windows of respective spaces, and ventilates all spaces efficiently.
