Bioclimatic design and Renewable Energy fuel energy
savings
Utilising fluid mechanics and the hot air theory, waste air from
offices will be naturally extracted within the enclosed office
suites and corridor, while the hot air that rises up to the central
glass atrium will be mechanically extracted by fans. Leveraging
the transparent elements of the envelope, lighting is kept to a
minimum, saving 37% in energy consumption, while vertical
transportation with sleep mode and regenerative features, reduces
up to 30% of the overall electrical consumption.

With 574 Solar Panels on the rooftop of Menara KEN TTDI to
harness renewable energy from the sun, an average 11% of
electricity is replaced annually. The renewable energy generated
is fed into the building, reducing electricity bills by an average
8%.

Every drop of water counts
Menara KEN TTDI enjoys total water savings of 20.79% of potable
water consumption compared to code compliant buildings.
Implementing green rated water fittings save water usage by 65%
compared to normal fittings, while a rain water harvesting system
supports landscape irrigation using an automated drip irrigation
system with rain sensor to provide sufficient water to all plants.
The building’s cooling tower water treatment system can achieve
7 cycles or better of water concentration quality. The harvesting
tank has a remarkable capacity of 75 cubic meters, with estimated
42 cubic meters used daily for irrigation and flushing purposes.
The remaining water is also used for general cleaning.
