The optimal window size and the ratio of window to wall balance daylighting and solar heat gain.( physical)
Serving as a natural barrier, the Kwun Tong Bypass could significantly mitigate the negative influence of the direct sunshine from west side, and thus protect people from uncomfortable glare and overheat.(physiological)

Building entrance lobby with perforated fence wall and glass roof could enhance indoor lighting. The entrance space with enough lighting creates a bright and comfortable environment for guiding performance.(physiological)

Light fittings which controlled by photo sensors are installed along windows to reduce lighting energy consumption.(ecological)

Use efficient lighting system such as T-5 lamps and task lights to adjust illumination and reduce lighting power consumption.(ecological)

Free layout without barries at exhibition area could allow exterior daylight to penetrate to the interior space. Thanks to the natural lighting with wide beam and differnet illuminance, the three-dimensional sense and texture of exhibits could be fully shown. The natural daylight can also provide human body necessary Vitamin D to improve health condition.(Physiological)

In Office Area there is a central courtyard, Sunlight from the roof reflect to the coated gloss flyover, then reflect to the atrium ,so it can provide more natural lighting for office space, reduce artificial lighting and improve work efficiency. In the exhibition area also has a small courtyard, it can provide more natural lighting to the deep of exhibition space.

T-5 Lamps + Task Lights can provide adjustable illumination from 30% to 100%.
Avg. lighting power density (LPD) for office = 8.2 W/Sq.m .Which is 45% less than the requirement of BEC 2012 (15 W/Sq.m).
T-5 lamps is energy-saving and more durable than traditional light tube. When the natural daylight is sufficient, the light sensor will put off the window lights to reduce energy consumption, which contributes to a 37% reduction of electricity demand in peak hours.
