It is pumped through a natural filtration system system of reed beds and a cleansing biotape through to the building’s heat exchangers. Cold water is stored in five cooling buffer vessels located next to the building’s staff restaurant. The water circulates every 48 hours. The use of lake water for cooling purposes has reduced the requirement for cooling towers from seven to two.
All run off water goes through the network of lakes: the rainwater from the roof goes directly into the formal lake while car-parking drainage flows through the reed beds before dissipating into the adjacent River Bourne. The form of the cascade and the affect of the water flow was developed using full size models.
