The subject scheme addresses sustainability at both the broader level of an appropriate mix of uses on a strategically positioned site, and in the details of its design. The strategic location of the office building adjacent to a mass transit hub and within walking distance of the city centre, aligns with sustainable objectives of encouraging sustainable movement, reducing urban sprawl and enhancing a green economy. Specific energy management objectives have been employed in the design of the office building, including the elevational composition of floor to ceiling glazing and deep overhangs to allow maximum daylight transmission while reducing unwanted solar gain. The use of ecologically-friendly building materials where appropriate and rainwater harvesting. 3 0 HO R G A N ’ S Q UAY, C O R K
