Building specifications
Efficient air conditioning and energy saving
The HVAC system has been designed to optimize efficiency, flexibility and comfort for users. This is achieved as a result of the high supply of outside air renewal for ventilation and the synergy with the architecture Of the tower itself by means of active façade ventilation.
On each floor, the air conditioning is distributed via a large number of independent units (VRV) whereby it is possible to achieve different temperatures at different points on a floor, as well as obtain significant energy savings. Units can also be switched of in areas not used very often.
Electric supply
The building’s electricity supply system provides for electric consumption savings. Four independent connections distribute the electricity via five transformation centres, two of which supply all tenants (from floor 2 to floor 27). There are two exclusive transformed in the common areas transformation centre, one for power and lighting for common services and the other for common air conditioning. Each of these are 2,500 KVA.
There is also an independent 400 KVA generator set which guarantees the operation of the fire protection systems.
Telecommunications
Telecommunications are arranged vertically by means of an exclusive use utility shaft, and horizontally in their appropriate duct working. This provides for the following services:
- Multiple Digital Terrestrial Television, Satellite Television, FM and AM Radio sockets.
- High speed connectivity (ADSL, RDSI, WIFI, etc.).
- Multi-operator mobile telephone signal network.
High quality materials
Highest quality materials have been used for the Iberdrola Tower, including both common areas and private areas for future tenants.
Natural maple has been used for the main entrance access, walls and ceilings, with the floors standing out as they are in travertine marble.
Travertine marble has been used for the elevator lobby floors, whilst the Montsegur limestone has been used for the walls with stainless steel crowning. The building’s lighting shall consist of lighting apparatus Built into a ceiling designed with decorative items.
The marble vertical surfaces and floors stand out, whilst the ceilings consist of pladur and metal inspection covers in areas crossed through by installations.
Office floors have been painted with a special dust proof pain. There are also false ceilings and technical floors to guarantee complete floor functional flexibility. The false ceiling, with 60 cm of clearance to the top slab, is drilled metal tray type with both the light fittings and other installations built in. The technical, modular floor – which can be inspected, with 20 cm under-floor space, is fire resistant anhydrite.
Elevators - shuttles
A total of 22 state-of-the-art elevators shall allow users to move up and down inside the Tower. There are various sets:
- Three elevators shall serve floors 2 to 6.
- Eight elevators shall serve floors 7 to 27.
- Four elevators shall serve floors 28 to 35.
- Two circular cabbed elevators shall communicate the entrance Lobby to the underground car parks.
- An observation elevator shall serve the restaurant located on the first floor from the main entrance.
- Four service lifts, serving the building.
These are all high specification lifts, featuring the “Miconic 10” and “Schindler ID” controls which adapt each route to the users’ requirements and efficiently regulate the wide operating volume.
