According to Azouri Brothers Ronen and Alon, the ILS200 million ($51.83 million) project will be built, following the principles of green building from top to bottom. It will be authorized to fix the American Israeli standard for green construction, laying emphasis on energy saving, renewable energy, recycling water and waste treatment. The 20-level building will include open spaces between floors and balconies featuring the concept of ‘hanging gardens’.
Designed by architect Keren Yedvub, the Azouri Ecotower will be incorporated with green technologies. The use of natural lighting using smart glass, installation of electric air conditioning systems, control building systems, and gray water recycling systems are some of the eco-friendly features. The building will feature solar panels on the roof to generate energy, a wind-turbine, and filtered fresh air with six air conditioning units. An on-site recycling facility will be available to tenants, as well as access to two botanical gardens on the fifth and 20th floors of the building. The building will also use the latest in insulated glass that will reduce solar heat gain by 25% but allow 62% natural light to filter through.
The tower to be built on Hamasger Street will be completed in two stages with the first stage construction to be completed in January 2011. The initial phase of the development project is seeking either Silver or Gold LEED rating. Clients include John Bryce Technical College and Mercedes.
