Vents Moving

The vents of the building can be opened or closed. When both the vents are open, the hot air trapped between the glass and the concrete roof will rise up and create a negative pressure. This will cause air to draw up from the atrium and the vents all over the building causing a cooling effect.

When the exterior vents are closed and the interior is open, the heat will travel into the building warming it up.

Elevator

The elevators are used primarily for the transport of users from he ground floor up. Furthermore, the design of the elevators create an atrium in the centre which helps draw in air.

Roof

As can be seen from the section above, the roof is designed in such a way, similar to a vented trombe wall to allow heat to enter the building and thereby warming it up, or leave it and in effect cooling the building. Furthermore, the slats on the ceiling helps aid in directing warm air to the vents.

Vents

Vents are placed all along the building in order to aid  in ventilation. These vents can be opened or closed as per user's needs.

Structure: 

The building is aligned along the north-south direction, thus the building will get ample light in the morning. The direct sunlight at noon is partially blocked by the awning present and the thermal mass of the roof. Indoor blinds and shutters can aid in blocking unwanted sunlight in the afternoon.
