This project is for a new office building enclosed on the south and west facades with a vacuum envelope system. The vacuum envelope is a sealed double-layered curtain wall system with internal solar tracking panels. The vacuum system creates a hyper-insulated envelope, while the solar panels allow for shading of the interior and take advantage of the solar gain of these facades.
