Sustainability
The CEC was built with a strong focus on sustainability, aligning with global trends. Its design includes features for energy efficiency, such as maximizing natural light through skylights and glazed carpentry, and migrating 70% of lighting to LED. It employs natural climate control via a green roof and a BMS system for precise air conditioning use. Water efficiency is achieved with dual-flush toilets and programmed water pumps. The center also prioritizes biodiversity conservation by preserving green spaces and mature trees, with a 15,200m2 green roof. Rainwater is collected for irrigation, and solar panels are installed on the exterior.
