Water Efficiency
High-Performance Water Fixtures
BHIRAJ TOWER at EmQuartier is equipped with high-performance, low-water-consumption fixtures, including efficient flush and flow devices. These installations are designed to reduce overall water usage across the building while maintaining consistent performance and occupant comfort.
Energy Performance
Efficient Lighting and Air Conditioning Systems
The building has adopted LED lighting throughout its common areas, paired with a high-efficiency HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) system. Together, these systems contribute to a more energy-conscious building operation, supporting long-term energy savings without compromising comfort or air quality.
Waste Management
Systematic Waste Separation and Recycling Partnership
BHIRAJ TOWER at EmQuartier maintains a comprehensive waste collection and separation process, sorting waste by type at the source. The building also partners with a licensed third-party waste management company to facilitate proper recycling, supporting responsible resource recovery and reducing landfill impact.
Material and Resources
Sustainable Purchasing Policy
The project has established a Sustainable Purchasing Policy covering durable goods, giving priority to products with recognized environmental certifications such as Energy Star, EPEAT, or LED lighting. This policy emphasizes the selection of items with lower environmental impact throughout their full lifecycle, from procurement to disposal.
Health and Well-Being
Facility Maintenance and Renovation Policy
A comprehensive Facilities and Maintenance Policy has been implemented to ensure that all maintenance and renovation activities are properly managed. The policy addresses sustainable procurement for facility operations and renovation work, responsible waste management during renovation activities, and strict indoor air quality control throughout the renovation process.
Enhanced Indoor Air Quality
BHIRAJ TOWER at EmQuartier meets minimum indoor air quality requirements by providing adequate outdoor air ventilation in accordance with ASHRAE Standard 62.1-2017, and is equipped with MERV 13 air filters to further enhance indoor air quality. In addition, the building continuously monitors indoor air quality parameters — including CO₂ and TVOC levels — to help ensure a healthy indoor environment that supports occupant health, comfort, and workplace productivity.
HIGHLIGHT
- Ventilation aligned with ASHRAE 62.1-2017
- MERV 13 air filtration
- Continuous CO₂ and TVOC monitoring
Environmental Tobacco Smoke Control
Smoking is strictly prohibited throughout the building. Designated smoking areas are located away from all outdoor air intakes, preventing tobacco smoke from affecting indoor air quality and helping maintain a clean, healthy environment for all occupants.
Green Cleaning
Walk-off mats are installed at building entrances to help maintain the cleanliness of occupied spaces, reducing the amount of dust and outdoor contaminants carried into the building.
