Campus Pictet de Rochemont & KoolShade
The use of Koolshade on the Campus Pictet de Rochemont building in Geneva has significantly enhanced its environmental consciousness and sustainability. The Pictet Group's ambition was to achieve Platinium rating for the new building. The highest level of SNBS, LEED and WELL certification possible.
· Sustainability and economic viability for SNBS
· Environmental and energy protection for LEED
· Assessment of occupant well-being for WELL
The conurbation around Geneva is undergoing a stunning transformation. It is a re-invention of Urban and City spaces, conceptualised with the benefit of hindsight, and planned for a conscious future. The goal is to construct a symbiotic space for living and nature, with the benefits this will bring. At the heart of the Campus Pictet de Rochemont will be a showcase building.
A place to live, work and thrive in the knowledge that they are part of the remedy to the Global Warming Crises.
Innovation is expected when the Architect’s name is revealed as Inès Lamunière, the founder and head of designlab-architecture, designers of exceptionally modern and sustainable, buildings.
From concept to design & specification, no leaf was left unturned in the search for a sustainable, carbon-neutral, environmentally sound construction. There are some material elements that are breaking new ground, not least of all, the dynamic, multifunctional building 'skin'.
The requirements were to:
· Provide effective Solar Shading
· Control Light & Glare
· Ensure energy saving
· Be manufactured from, and in, a sustainable way
Benefits of Microlouvre Koolshade.
Energy Efficiency
Microlouvre Koolshade helps to reduce the amount of heat entering the building, thereby reducing the need for air conditioning and lowering energy consumption.
Glare Reduction
The use of Microlouvre Koolshade helps to minimize glare from direct sunlight, creating a more comfortable and productive work environment.
Thermal Comfort
By blocking a significant amount of solar radiation, Microlouvre Koolshade helps to maintain a more consistent and comfortable indoor temperature throughout the day.
KoolShade: The angular selective, 3D, Copper Bronze material will be added externally remove solar heat gain, allow ventilation to flow and remove glare whilst meeting LEED visual contact with the outside, criteria.
It will bring immense benefits to the occupants of the building and to the environment itself.
Environmentally Conscious and Sustainable.
The Campus Pictet de Rochemont building in Geneva is a prime example of environmental consciousness and sustainability. The building incorporates various features and technologies that minimize its impact on the environment and promote sustainability.
Microlouvre Koolshade
One of the key contributors to the building's sustainability is the use of Microlouvre Koolshade. This innovative technology provides effective solar control and thermal insulation while maintaining visual transparency.
Energy Efficiency: Microlouvre Koolshade significantly reduces the need for artificial cooling and heating, resulting in lower energy consumption and reduced carbon emissions.
Natural Light Optimization: The technology allows ample natural light to enter the building, reducing the reliance on artificial lighting and further reducing energy consumption.
Comfort and Productivity: By minimizing glare and heat gain, Microlouvre Koolshade creates a comfortable and conducive environment for occupants, promoting productivity and well-being.
Aesthetics: The sleek and modern appearance of Microlouvre Koolshade enhances the overall design of the building, adding to its aesthetic appeal.
The use of Microlouvre Koolshade on the Campus Pictet de Rochemont building demonstrates the commitment to environmental consciousness and sustainability, making it a model for future sustainable architectural projects.
