Environment

The building has double walls, the outer made entirely of glass and the inner 60 percent glass with a gap between, a more energy efficient design than a traditional glass and steel building. The environment coordinate Klas Johansson, described the solution as "an unbelievably efficient system, featuring what is in effect quintuple glazing."[2]

The heating is provided partly by captured waste heat from Stockholm Central Station - an estimated 5-10% of the heating requirement. Water from the canal Klara Sjö is used for cooling. The goal is a consumption of 60 kWh/sqm/yr, half the National Board of Housing Building requirement.[3]
