Environmentally Sustainable Building Technology in Tbilisi

I have recently designed a website for a new building in Tbilisi. It is the first Class A+ building, designed by a German architects Wandel Hoefer Lorch. It is an impressive looking structure with a glass fascade which stands out amongst traditional Tbilisi buildings.

The special thing about the building is that it is one of the first in the city featuring environmentally sustainable technology. The facade is made of windows called cavements which protrude out from the building's surface at different distances. They help to reduce the glasshouse effect by preventing direct sunlight and trapping pockets of air.

The result is that the building doesn't need the same level of climate control that a normal building would. The design also reduces noise pollution.

Considering that most energy consumption goes into buildings and domestic use it is good to see this new technology in a building in Tbilisi.

My friend who I'm living with in Tbilisi told me that most new high class architects around the world are evolving to implement energy saving technology as standard.
