Optimal lighting conditions

Through the glass roof terraces of the reading and the arrangement of the jobs on the facades, the daylight can be optimally used. Depending on the day of light can be dimmed as required in the grading room depth individual circuits, which contributes to power reduction. All windows are perfectly foamed by Kerndämmzonen between interior and exterior insulated profiles. Before the actual window pane runs a baffle plate, so that the sun shade protected from wind and also between these two in windy sunny weather - typical of Berlin - can be used.
