Atrium 1 will have a geothermal heating and cooling system, used for the first time in Poland and featured only in a handful of buildings in Europe. Additionally, solar energy will be used in the project, photovoltaic panels are to be installed on the building’s double-skin façade, equipped with external blinds to minimise the heat intake. Storm and grey water will be stored and reused.
