This award-winning underground library has large open spaces, study desks, a reading room and children’s area. Meeting rooms, a computer lab and music room can be hired.
BMC Commercial Solutions in conjunction with John Holland Constructions, Verosol Australia & SOMFY delivered a completely automated blind system that included computer-controlled blinds throughout the complex. Each blind is programmed to react to the environmental conditions external and internally. The blinds are deployed based on the need to reduce heat, glare, and maintain a healthy comfortable temperature internally all year round.
The building management system knowing the exact position of each blind and is orientation to the sun it drives the blinds to the optimal position to give the greatest results for the occupants with out them pushing a button or giving any thought to the control of the blinds. The system is set up to measure the solar incidence on each panel of glass and continually measures for the slightest changes in the external environment.
