PwC Greece has unveiled its new offices in Maroussi, designed by ASPA KST. The complex features two four-story, elliptical buildings in the heart of the business district, ensuring high visibility and accessibility. The project aims for LEED Gold certification and participation in the WELL Core™ program.
Inform Design was invited by DIMAND to support the façade design of the PwC Campus building. Our role was twofold: (a) touch base with regard to the existing façade glazing configuration (solar and daylight performance) and (b) examine potential performance improvements when altering the glazing type or adding internal fabrics.
Solar control and daylight
Solar and daylight performance are 2 parameters that most often “fight” each other. Our aim is to examine whether a “1 size fits all” glazing solution is applicable in such building design. As the building has a circular form, each window experiences different solar exposure in terms of intensity and duration. Given the project design stage, certain parameters were already decided (e.g. glazing size). Therefore our work
focuses on examining the performance of the currently selected glazing type and examine potential
improvements (similar glazing types and internal shading fabrics in different orientations).
