My theory for the School of Engineering is focused on environmental sustainability. Therefore, glass is used as the major exterior material and together with the use of voids, the building is provided with natural light, which reduces the usage of artificial light, saving electricity. The building is also sustainable in terms of water usage as funnel shaped canopies are placed near the building entrances to both protect its users from rain and to collect rainwater for reuse. Circulation through the building from Anzac Pd:
Moving Elements Main Entrances: Main entrances for the building are automatic, increasing functional efficiency. Room Doors: Doors for rooms are automatic, allowing easier access. Electrochromic Glass: Glass automatically turns white due to sunlight, causing a part of direct light being reflected, cooling the internal temperature, saving electricity and reducing some harmful UV light.
