Background
The elliptical shape of the building and the striking external structural grid highlight sustainability as the main strength of the design.
The double-skin façade is an integral part of a bioclimatic system that optimises the thermal performance of the interior spaces, minimising energy consumption for air conditioning and ensuring a pleasant environment for users. The stunning views contribute to improving user well-being.
The external supporting structure of the tower supports the striking double-skin façade, which facilitates the continuous exchange of light and air between the building and the outside, improving thermal comfort and the healthiness of the spaces.
Challenges
- Management of an iconic and technologically complex building
Coordinating all advanced systems to ensure comfort, efficiency and safety. - 24-hour operational continuity
Ensuring immediate response in the event of critical issues, thanks to permanent local presence and a centralised control room. - Environmental sustainability
Integrating strategies for reducing energy and water consumption, with rainwater recovery, the use of low-impact refrigerants and natural ventilation.
Project Tasks
Unipol Tower stands out for its strategy aimed at reducing water and energy consumption, thanks in part to the photovoltaic field on the roof and the use of groundwater. Cefla has carried out:
- Routine and extraordinary maintenance of heating, refrigeration, electrical, plumbing and special systems.
- Management of fire prevention systems, UPS, generator sets, automation and controls.
- Supervision via CMMS and updated technical documentation.
