Operational reliability and energy efficiency were the decisive factors in its design and construction, and the building introduced a number of technical solutions that were new to Hungary.
The ventilation that provides heating and cooling is a variable-air-volume fresh-air system, fitted with heat recovery units in line with the energy-efficiency requirements. The technical standard of the built-in fire protection systems is far above average.
