What I can see
The building of AVAX Company has a dynamic style, and its design meets some of its energy needs through passive energy systems. It consists of 3 basements, a ground floor and 5 upper floors, and has an east-facing orientation. The most dominant parts of the building are the 16-metre circular columns and the glass louvers, which automatically rotate with sensors, according to weather conditions.
What I can't see
It is one of the first bioclimatic buildings in the city. It was designed by Alexandros Tombazis’ office and has a total area of 3,050 m2. Its energy consumption is less than 50% of other conventional buildings and has openings for natural ventilation. The spaces of main use are on the side of the facade, while the auxiliary spaces are on the western side. It belonged in the Thermie-EC2000 program (Energy Comfort 2000).
